@gabriel To be fair, I’m sure that the #Cybertruck and carry far more than that cart. Calling this a “heavy load” is like praising a pitcher for being able to hold a single shot of #vodka.
I have a book (The Atlas Paradox by Olivie Blake), music (Waiting For The Sun by The Doors is my album for tonight), a cat on my lap and vodka by my side. 🙂
Been putting this off for a few days, but here goes nothing. #intro#introduction
My name is Kaylie, though many just call me Fox. I’m a 36 going on 13 year old trans girl originally from the desert now residing in the Midwest with my girlfriend Wednesday and our three cats, Mia, Nala and Harley.
This account is my alt, with my main being found at @LavenderPawprints. Expect some cross posting between the two, with longer posts coming from this one thanks to the much larger character limitations. Also expect this one to be somewhat more personal at times.
I’m #autistic,, #VisuallyImpaired, hard of hearing, struggle with mental health and a bunch of other little things, but I prefer not to have my worth weighed out by the extensiveness of my disability and challenge list. To me, life is life and we all godda make the best of what we got.
So what are my interests?
Well, I’m a #musician who writes and records my own #music. I play mostly #guitars, #synths and #keyboards, but can hold my own with other things like percussions and the like. I can’t really play any wind instruments though. I done smoked too much in my time. :P
I also love reading and writing, mostly fantacy and science-fiction, but will read just about anything if it’s something that sounds good.
Academically, I study generative #AI as well as #Elementary#education. I’m a strong supporter of #YouthRights and #YouthLiberation and believe with all my heart that kids are an oppressed minority who deserve to be able to show us all that they are capable of much more than just being those tag-alongs that so many parents treat them as. #Unschooling is a very valid form of education that doesn’t oppress youths but gives them the freedom to choose their own path and inform themselves through self-directed learning and play. Trust me, I can wax poetic about this stuff for hours. 😊
Though I don’t have kids myself, something that causes a lot of emotional distress to me, I’m still a supporter of #GentleParenting and live the #youthLiberationist ethics in practice. Kids, to me are as equal as anyone else. The only thing that separates us is lived experience and age.
I’m also a casual #PC#gamer who has considered streaming on and off for a while but has never actually done so. I play with a lot of emulators too and love reliving the old days. #retro
I do make some #AIArt from time-to-time using Stable Diffusion, though admittedly I haven’t been as active on that front lately due to mental health burnout.
Also love #anime, #cartoons, #TV when I actually have the money to pay for streaming services, and #movies are fun too when the #ADHD allows me to sit still long enough to get through one.
Other things that matter to me are making and keeping real #friendships. I’d rather have a few really solid people to call family than have a bunch of people who aren’t as in it for good as me.
I’m also a #stoner and am very pro #420, like my #Vodka and #RedBulls from time-to-time, and I’m a recovering addict who has over six years clean from most things that nearly claimed my life. I fully appreciate the struggles of #DrugAddiction, and will always listen to anyone who may be struggling or who needs someone who understands. #YourNotAlone
I judge absolutely no one for anything beyond observable behavior. I mean that too. I don’t judge anyone anything.
Am a #tea drinker and #coffee lover, I love #cooking, and I’m always doing experimental mad scientist things in the kitchen.
I also identify as a long-time #furry, though the community has grown stagnant, too commercialized and for public consumption in recent years. Some would probably say that my whiskers are grey, for all the time I’ve been around in one form or another. That’s to say, I’ve seen a lot in the furry fandom, and where it’s at now just makes me sad because it’s not like it used to be.
Otherwise, anything you may wish to know is always a DM away. I’m very approachable, or at least I try to be. The only dumb questions are the ones you don’t ask. As such, I invite your curiosity.

TOMMY LEE Says He Was Drinking Two Gallons Of Vodka A Day 'For A Long Time': 'Your Liver Is On Crutches At That Point'
🇷🇺 Putin's war on Ukraine might just make #Russians thirsty.
Russia's alcohol-producers lobby has asked Finance Minister Anton Siluanov to increase vodka's minimum price by 7 percent to cope with rising costs linked to Moscow's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, reports show.
The webs biggest chess platform, chess.com have just closed down a thread in their forums about FIDE's ban on trans players. It ended with:
Topic locked: political discussions are against the Community Guidelines:
So have chess.com covered it as a news item, or opinion piece? No, not yet at least.
The thread wasn't really going anywhere with opinions not being swayed, and insults beginning to dominate.
Anyway, I am stopping fighting the good fight for now and moving into Friday night vodka mode. I have a pretty bad taste from the arguments I've seen, and I feel alcohol and oblivion are the answer tonight.
I will just say to any trans people out there, I'm a 56 year old white hetero guy, but please don't hold it against me, I support your rights and am trying to learn what that entails
'There's a photo of #Prigozhin serving wine to George w. #Bush in the #Kremlin when he visited decades ago. And there's a photo of him at a meeting between President #Putin and various members of the #Russian military elite with representatives of #Libya , a country where #Wagner#mercenaries were believed to be active'
In addition to the advertised aim of providing security - a big reason for #Wagner ’s presence on the continent is money-making. The #CAR for example is rich in natural resources like #copper, #gold, #uranium and #Russia ’s #mercenary arm has reportedly been involved in the #mining business too. 'In the CAR the economic interests of the #WagnerGroup continue to grow. They're now in the #vodka business. the dependency of the CAR on the Wagner group is concerning in light of the rebellion.'
The beverage is suitably green, but the floating things that good brine has in it are absent. I'm not sure you would want to see spices and stuff floating in the drink, if it's supposed to be a shot, so I applaud their filtering.
