Swimmer Lia Thomas was a big focus of this anti-trans hysteria a few years back and you know what? She's about the same height and build as her cis competition.

Female swimmers are strong as hell, okay?

I've lost count of the number of times people make a stink about some trans girl playing high school sports and when you dig into it, it's some skinny little girl with mousy blonde hair who just wanted to play kick ball with her friends.

GOD SAVE US FROM THE LITTLE BLONDE GIRL!

@GreenSkyOverMe The most effective plant I'm aware of in Iceland can extract 4,000 tons per year out of 38 billion tons of emissions. There are no operational megaton scale plants but even if there were, you would require a huge number of them to capture even the current amount of emissions.

@GreenSkyOverMe Scaling. Current devices can only pull out a few tons of CO2 per year, which is inconsequential to our current output.

Land, water, and electricity usage. These systems use a lot of water and power and if that power isn't green, it defeats the purpose of using them.

Permanent storage. A lot of systems are designed to resell carbon to make them more cost effective and permanent storage in the billions of tons is a significant engineering challenge. But it's pointless otherwise.

It's a bit disingenuous to say the only problem with direct air capture is cost.

"Sam Altman says we are in the singularity."

That's funny. This shit seems awfully predictable to me.

We're sitting in the play room at Burger King -- my blood sugar cratered -- because it's the only cool part of the restaurant.

A little boy comes in and asks us where our kids are because he wants someone to play with. We explain we don't have any and he wanders off and starts calling and searching for the kids he thinks should be there. 🥺

Disability brain is knowing where the only chairs in the entire store are.

"Experience" in a political sense is usually synonymous with corruption but white conservative Democrats think these people are all Gandalf or something.

Countdown to Apple begging for exemptions and presenting Trump with the Liquid Glass Peace Prize.

In some cases, it can suppress the physiological response to a hypoglycemic episode so you don't know you're bottoming out until it's really bad.

So I need to remember to eat. 🤔

I'm not good at that.

Supposedly, Propranolol suppresses cortisol and adrenaline reactions, which is why it's sometimes taken for anxiety, and I'm curious what THAT is like seeing as I'm constantly swimming in cortisol.

It's renal effects are iffy but follow the doctor's orders, I guess.

Starting Propranolol today. Feels a little weird. But new meds always do.

"Oh, she's tough. She's a survivor. A hardened mercenary. That's why she manspreads and acts like a dude and has the emotional intelligence of a clump of potting soil."

I've got nothing against butch characters or women warriors or anything like that. Some women are like that! But this trope comes up A LOT.

One of my biggest pet peeves, which I try to subvert in my writing, is how often "strong female characters" are just women written to behave like men.

@GreenSkyOverMe "LOL."

I got asked if I was menopausal at the doctor's office yesterday and then when my past menstrual period was.

Still got it, I guess.

My blood pressure is higher than it's been in months and I'm having a bad mental health day.

If it feels like the global ruling elite are all part of the same exclusive chat group, well, they probably are.

That's exactly what the Epstein documents told us.
