If an animal is resting on your lap, you are not allowed to get up until they do, sorry didn't make the rules

Christmas fun in Kat's house 

In case you're worried about my mom, she ended up singing "Up on the rooftop, Jesus falls," so she's not *that* good of a Christian.

Christmas fun in Kat's house 

Mom, a Christian: please don't be sacrilegious

Me, an atheistic Satanist, trying to put baby Jesus on the roof of the manger in the nativity set: Whoops, he fell. Looks like the crucifixion happened 30 years too soon!

Thanksgiving PSA 

Please don't invite trans folks to your trans unfriendly family spaces without warning

Please don't invite any marginalized folks into spaces unfriendly to them without telling them that is the case

This holds for anytime of year to be honest, but especially today where folks invite us to spaces bc we don't have family... But to be blunt being around your trans missic family isn't better than being near ours and def not better than being alone

Selfie, ec 

Kat, in boy mode, here to tell you Merry Fuckin' Christmas, Bitches. I know I'm a month early. But merry fuckin' christ-tide-alia.

cw suicide, graphic, trans 

Remembering Choe Sagal's death by self-immolation and how it didn't even get national coverage let alone international coverage shows you how fucking messed up this world's news media is.

A trans woman setting herself on fire in a public park, hell, ANYONE setting themselves on fire in a public park is the kind of thing you would expect to see on the news??? It's such a fucking unusual death and so explicitly a political statement that for it to go unnoticed is a pretty fucking clear sign that trans women do not matter to cis people.

And also, remember, IQ isn't actually *THAT* important. It's actually a really *shit* measure of intelligence. (But it's still fun to call people on their BS, on the occasion that they're claiming that shit off an online test.)

I would like to redact my last toot upon further research. It turns out the difference between IQ scales isn't as much as I had thought. Still call people on claiming high IQs. Ask them the scale, ask them where they were tested, etc. But the information I gave was not exactly correct. I apologize for any inconvenience that error may have caused.

So, earlier, I had the idea to try putting mouthwash in an Rx bottle. Lo and behold, it was brilliant. Then, I thought it might be a good idea to put that in a bigger bottle, to prevent spills. Unfortunately, the bigger bottle was just a bit too small. I forced it, and now it's stuck.

Folx, I have an IQ of 135 (WISC-IV), high enough to almost be classed "genius". Don't ever let anyone convince you IQ is a meaningful measure of intellect. It's not.

(Honestly, I feel like more telling about my year is the fact that I couldn't pull those last two off my phone directly because I still haven't figured out how to mount removable devices on FreeBSD. But, that's just me.)

Inspired by mavi, I figured I'd do this year retrospective in selfies!
...
Unfortunately, I'm not much of one for selfies. I cannot find any selfies from the first half of the year, and I really only have four I can find for the year total. So, You'll have to settle for the past 5 months.

July, August, October (31st!), November

(cw selfies, eye contact)

drugs and chemistry, two of my favourite things 

tfw someone complains about there not being a viable synthesis for methylphenidate (for black market stuff, not as a pharma company), so you search the literature and end up sending them two papers on dexmethylphenidate synthesis that are both are described as "easy" but are actually horribly complex. (Yes methylphenidate and dex- are different, but the state of the art is similar)

@DarkWitchClaire Someone has, but there's good reason we don't talk about it. It's quite possibly the most horrifying thing I've ever seen.

Results of the largest yet research on trans kids 

Largest yet research on #transgender children concludes trans kids develop their gender identity in a way indistinguishable from their cis counterparts, and debunks the contention that trans kids are just "going through a phase" insider.com/transgender-kids-d
