Someone brought to my attention that there is a Twitter account impersonating the Mastodon project. This is a fake account: twitter.com/MastodonTM

- We don't do the business of selling blue or green checkmarks
- We don't have "office hours"
- We don't collect donations on behalf of disasters (unless you consider me a disaster)
- I would know how to spell Houston for god's sake

I know most folks don't have money to give away right now, but my friend Cheryl has decided to donate her kidney to someone in need. (It's for a friend of a friend, Kristina, but if Cheryl's not a match, she's going to give her kidney to someone else, which will move Kristina to the top of the list.) This will require her to be out of work for weeks, so HER friend Liz started a Gofundme for expenses. Please give a little if you can. gofundme.com/help-cheryl-donat

So I'm seriously considering shutting down my birb account because of their new ToS around use of content. So, I need to be here more often to build up a new habit

hey all, I made a small survey for folks under the general trans umbrella (broadly defined, including questioning people & people who don't specifically call themselves trans)

esurv.org/?s=MIIJGH_bc98de8

I'm curious about people moving between-- or persisting in-- trans/nb identities. This version only addresses movement between a few categories: trans man or woman, nonbinary, and questioning. If it garners interest, maybe I'll make a more nuanced one later.

anyway pls take survey / give feedback, thanks ❤

I'm trying (and currently failing) to build a new morning habit of taking medication. I'm really good at taking medication before I go to bed, absolutely terrible at taking it in the morning.

I've put a reminder in my phone now so it beeps at me

I have booked all (except for two day trips that aren't yet finalised) internal transport for my European trip in October. So excited! In 5 weeks, I'll be heading over to explore, see things, eat food, and just not be at work for a month.

My body has this thing about trying to kill me, and medicine has this thing about keeping me alive (I love medicine).

So I've had an ectopic pregnancy and breast cancer... I'm also prone to severe strep throat, so without penicillan would be dead from that.

Today I got to have a pelvic ultrasound because of unexplained pelvic pain. I'm hoping that the results are the most boring thing they can be, because I have had more than enough near misses in my life so far.

So last night, because my brain is an arsehole, I dreamt that my cancer had returned and not only did I have to deal with that, but I was also away from work and my boss didn't know, AND I was worried about telling my husband (chronic depression and anxiety) because he didn't even know I had an appointment to talk to someone about cancer.

So year, and

Notch is defending that asshole Google employee, and Assange is offering him a job. I mean... that's all you really need to know.

I remember growing up in the cold war. I remember praying that I'd get enough warning in the event of a nuclear war to find shelter, and be able to survive the inevitable fallout. Surviving beyond that seemed to be guaranteed if I could just survive the bombs dropping.

I never thought, once the cold war was over, that I would have to reconsider those plans, that I would have to worry that the USA and North Korea would target each other. I am still (mostly) safe in Australia

My brain has gone to a very dark place today. I'm safe, but I'm terrified about the world and how much longer any of us might be safe. For so many reasons.
