I met two people with my dead name and a third who used the nickname I used to (think Christina/Tina) all in the same job. I thought it would be weird, but I realized that I never identified with those names, I just used them because it was expected.

I imagine it’s different for other people, but that’s how it has been for me

Right? The text service I use doesn’t allow video. Sometimes it won’t allow large photos either lol

There’s four justices over the age of 70 (one is Sotomayor). Not that age means much in regards to mortality when one has the resources that they do

My acid reflux has nothing to do with acidic or basic foods, and everything to do with the ratio of fat I’ve eaten or how many alcoholic drinks I’ve had in an evening. Beer is about a hundred times less acidic than soda (for reference) and soda doesn’t set my reflux off

My point is that human bodies are weird and we react in weird ways to food. That’s why we have to trial foods

I like to wear them in places with fluorescent lighting, but some people really get uncomfortable with that. Sometimes I imagine they must be feeling the same thing I feel when I need to make eye contact during a long conversation

They’re not extremely similar to MSI, but you might like Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (the band)

There’s an instance called literature.cafe that has a lot of writing related communities. I see writing prompts somewhat often while browsing all. It’s not the largest of instances, but it might be a good place to start

Bondi said Trump had saved 258m American lives from fent overdose, so no one with a brain can take her at her word (especially where numbers are concerned). I hope he makes it through this

Voyager doesn’t have the ability to do this in the app, you will have to use a browser
