This is, of course, incomplete. 🤷🏻♂️

Continuing #introductions:
In 2018 (at 36), I realized my sexuality wasn't as straightforward (or straight) as I'd previously thought. It's more complicated because of course it is, but I generally consider myself bi/pan

What should a punky time traveler use if they want to go back in time to kick the shit out of their Nazi granddad?
A pair o’ Docs.

Published writers of the fediverse: for those of you who have written books, how did you do it? What did you do to get the motivation to write every day and get that project finished?
I'm trying to write again, but I have a lot of past failures and tend to lose steam and give up.

Ranch dressing is bad actually. It _destroys_ all other flavors that a food might have and it completely unsubtle and unnuanced. It's like the perfect expression of white US culture. It's a sledgehammer.

Pals, you don't need to watch the debate tonight.
There are lots of other things you can do.
If you do want to do Something, Atl Jail Support will need a lot more volunteers. We are all burning out. I certainly am. There will be lots of protests coming up, so if you would like to help out with remote work DM me or email jailsupportatl@protonmail.com

thank you so much for literally keeping me alive, fediverse!!! 
TIL my 6yo has "imaginary parents". When I asked, I was informed that I am "not quite" as cool as their imaginary parents. Because I don't let them "go out and fight". So…
food +
Bulgogi and kimchi for lunch. It’s been too long. And while it’s not dolsot bibimbap, which is my go-to for Korean food, it’s so good. Like… I almost forgot how good it is. Every time I have a meal like this I feel compelled to thank everyone involved in the culture that resulted in the invention of whatever dish. Good food is so good, y’all.
The idea of "seeking a diagnosis" is wild to me. Like… it means you have to do all the work yourself to figure out what's up with you and then go to a professional who should be able to do that work better and for you and do more work to convince them that you're right. Like… this is a sign that the way we (in the US) do medicine is broken, right??? Or am I off base?

Anyway, why am I standing in the kitchen? Surely I came in here for a purpose. Do the—the “dishes” you say??? Holy crap! Where’d all that come from? Was that there when I walked in???
Me? Have AHDH? What could possibly make you think that? Is it the 60% done treatise on kobolds that I poured hours at a time into and haven’t touched in months, the 60% done Lego modular apartment building that I poured hours at a time into and haven’t touched since, the fact that I’m “getting back into Netrunnner” and spending hours at a time thinking and talking about it? Surely this one’ll be different.
