βBecause cycling enabled me to connect to the disability community, my understanding of transportation needs is broader, and I use this knowledge to be a better advocate for transportation infrastructure that better meets everyoneβs needs.β Via @bikehfxlobby.bsky.social
Putting this in my back pocket for the next time someone tries to claim that you can't be disabled and ride a bike, or that advocating for cycling infrastructure is "ableist"
An illustration titled "How long it takes to wake up" shows a series of four drawings of a person with dark, curly hair in various states of exhaustion against a light green background. The progression includes: 5 mins to open my eyes: The person is lying flat on their back, staring blankly upward. 30 mins to really wake up: The person is sitting up with heavy, dark circles under their eyes and a dazed expression. 1 hour to feel human: The person is standing but bent completely over at the waist, reaching toward their feet. 3 hours to realize I overdid it: The person is lying face-down and motionless on the floor.

Got ticked by national averages as opposed to my localized anecdotal experience :P
Am I weird for using cleat savers and walking like I'm in hoof heels?
Ah, "general audience, bicurious, competition, soft core, self help erotica." xD
Everything I've heard from welders in the yards to publicly available reports says "Don't touch our boats, we can't afford to fix them or build them fast enough to replace their wastage, hey look at our new fearmongering wonderweapons"
Ok I've let my carpal tunnel and tendinitis PT slip for too long, that kinda hurt.
Unfortunately now I'm morbidly curious.
Diane Duane is RIGHT THERE.
Very true wait-a-what-now?
RE USN fleet effectiveness: Their heads are not though. Literal brown water fleet. Complete ecological disaster.
It's less to be a supermodel and more to try and keep my heart from exploding and maintaining the ability to lift & carry wife/girlfriend <3
Minnesota is lower than Denver..... 9.9
Oh wow! Jockstrap snacks my favorite! *Reaches in for a pack of skittles and eats it*

Some Pentagon asshole to some west wing dipshit: "YOU POSTED WHAT ON X!?"

Let me see if I can find that one pic from 3-4 years ago with all the lesbians around ΟΈe Ο'r-pit... Hmmm, but we're not dating anymore now and they're divorced. Hmm......
The absolute most creature of a person you've ever met in your life: "Oh, ya menn ΟΈe Ο'r-pit?"
Murdering ten Lebanese children per day and turning 700,000 people into refugees is not liberating Iran. It's just imperialism.

all the while, there's a full-court press limiting access to birth control and abortion; there are attempts to reduce women's suffrage; and abusers/sex pests run rampant while women who speak up consistently get harassed or ignored.
nobody listened to ava cordero in 1999
maybe they should have
instead we have utter imbeciles reducing women to whether or not we have natural lubrication down there as a wetness test for whether we can be included for "international women's day".
we have athletic failures trying to get on the bigotry grift by blaming eating disorders on their trans friend
and that includes sports, which were always a wedge issue to fool the rubes/marks
because it was never about sports. it was about control; now we have rules and laws trying to enshrine gender roles; we have ones justifying peeping privates; laws designed to restrict hrt in any form, including bc
i don't really have an optimistic read on this because it's clear that far too many people find comfort in their small worlds that are reliant on bigoted stereotypes and assumptions
but as trans people have always and continue to say, excluding and harming trans women will rebound to all women.
the fundamental assumptions that underpin the idea that trans women are a threat to sport are:
1. trans women will always be men
2. cis women will always be weaker and less capable than men
both of these assumptions are often axiomatic positions that people have not reasoned themselves into.
if trans women did indeed have such an overwhelming advantage, logic would suggest that we would be overrepresented amongst the elite (as well as at every other level); yet, trans women are underrepresented at every level, from amateur, to school-aged, to elite.
indeed, the overwhelming majority of research data points to no evidence that trans women have an appreciable advantage in sports
but the moral panic has meant that cis women who happen to be gender non-conforming are targeted instead, like imane khelif in 2024, or caster semenya since forever
