It's impossible to put a lava lamp in a basement.
As soon as it's underground, it's a magma lamp.
Still-in-bed Saturday morning thought:
The vast majority of families are to some degree “found families,” even those following the monogamous nuclear model. Before each new couple gets together, they are strangers who have to find each other first.

America is a giant trauma stew. Our cruel parenting practices, the affinity for a religion that is rooted in shame, the lack of structural social support, the lack of healthcare (without risking bankruptcy)…I could go on and on. Trauma stew. And it shows up in our apathy, our depression, our anxiety, our drug and alcohol abuse. We treat systemically generated problems as individual weakness and it’s destroying us
@JoParkerBear Tragic. Completely antithetical to Sesame Street as it used to be.

Watching parts of the trans community be horrible to each other over diy HRT when we most need to be in solidarity.
Fwiw: diy HRT is both obviously risky and also obviously necessary for many. The risks are unfairly distributed (as with many things), and our obligation should be both to support folks who choose to diy and also fight for full healthcare coverage for everyone. There’s no contradiction.

It's Spring, which is a terrible time for me due to my gamboling addiction.
There are people out there who give heart-reacts to wework ad posts.

Never get tired a this un...
"Years ago, anthropologist Margaret Mead was asked by a student what she considered to be the first sign of civilization in a culture. The student expected Mead to talk about fishhooks or clay pots or grinding stones.
But no.
Mead said that the first sign of civilization in an ancient culture was a femur (thighbone) that had been broken and then healed.
Mead explained that in the animal kingdom, if you break your leg, you die.
You cannot run from danger, get to the river for a drink or hunt for food.
You are meat for prowling beasts.
No animal survives a broken leg long enough for the bone to heal.
A broken femur that has healed is evidence that someone has taken time to stay with the one who fell, has bound up the wound, has carried the person to safety and has tended the person through recovery.
Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts, Mead said."
We are at our best when we serve others.
Be civilized.

when you gotta go be a metaphor for man's hubris but it's 5 in the fucking morning
36 years old and still #doodling on my class notes.
Today I’m finishing my last class in the core curriculum for Zen Shiatsu.
(Which means only four electives, an externship, and about a dozen practice sessions to go…)
We learned about end-of-life protocols this morning. Heavy stuff that requires a light touch. Really important and profound.
@nerdybutcute points for honesty, and tbh myself I get it. In my early 20s I would read commentary on current events to see “what I’m supposed to think.” It’s not a mindset limited to the right wing; some of us just have massive rejection sensitive dysphoria and fear of looking foolish in public.
Continuing to think about this in the light of morning. Why did I post anyway if I thought there was a risk?
Because it’s important for trans people to be seen expressing #transjoy in places where it may be unexpected. As long as the risk feels manageable, it’s important that we don’t hide ourselves from communities we are supposedly a part of.
