I got my hormone prescription! It should come in tomorrow so I can pick it up on Friday!

I shouldn't have alcohol for at least the next month though (not related to the hormones) so that's a bit of a bummer. Let's celebrate with sparkly water 😂

Does anybody understand how this scam is supposed to work? Is he going to give me money for a car I don't have? Is he trying to trick me into getting one and selling it to him? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I agree with LTG (R) Ben Hodges and the NATO Chief that it isn't enough to say we support Ukraine but want them to win. @potus should follow this lead. #StandWithUkraine️

@JRBuckley @sentient_water HOW IS THIS REMOTELY SURPRISING??!? Has everyone forgotten “grab them by the 🐈‍⬛”?? Have we forgotten his comments about dating Ivanka if she wasn’t his daughter??

On #Juneteenth weekend, Governor Greg Abbott vetoed a new registry that could have improved outcomes for sickle cell disease patients. The bill's sponsor called the move ”petty, bullshit #politics.”’

I'm curious why does mastodon (& I assume the Fediverse) not really use or value stars ⭐? I've had it explained that they don't do anything (then why have them?) But more to the point would you eat at a place that had ZERO stars ⭐ on TripAdvisor?

Russian forces attacked a bustling pizza restaurant in the center of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region, on June 27, 2023. At least nine people, including three children, have been killed and 56 injured.

@actuallyautistic @actuallyautistics I've had insomnia for a long time, but my insomnia progressively required more and more support. My problems were cranked to 11 with my cancer. Nothing worked (medicine, therapy, blah blah blah) until I got a new bed, but I still have periods that are less than optimal or flat out bad. I don't mean one odd bad night. It is more like a week or more.

One thing I've noticed is that my needs appear to change. I'm fine with hugging my squishmallow, then I have to stop or I cannot sleep. I'm fine with white noise, then I have to stop using white noise, or I cannot sleep. I'm fine with my ears free from earplugs, then I have to use earplugs or I can't sleep.

It is maddening mainly due to the trial and error aspect of it.

Is it something that other autistic people experience?

How long does it take my #ActuallyAutistic comrades to recover from traveling somewhere away from home?

My boss: With the termination of [douchey marketing guy] I might need to ask you to help with some of the things he did.
My brain: *he did stuff besides yelling at everyone for not using the exact hex codes from our branding guide?*
My mouth: Sure

Can't wait to see what this is going to entail. Will I be the one to finally unravel the mysteries of what we paid that guy to do for 15 years?

Today marks the 54th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion. 54 years ago, members of the LGBTQ+ protested for our right to be seen, heard, and protected. It was a moment in time that forever transformed the gay liberation movement.
