He killed himself less than 3 1/2 years after writing that. He had health problems so I’m sure that was a big contributor, but I don’t think living in the immediate post-9/11 climate helped.
Do you mean pupillary distance? It isn’t part of the written prescription when I get my exam, but if you ask they usually don’t have a problem giving it to you. When you’re ordering Zenni just has a field where you enter the number they give you for PD. They also have instructions for DIY PD measuring, but that seemed too error-prone to me.
The new law that bans gender-affirming care for minors also mandates that adult patients seeking trans health care sign an informed consent form. It also requires a physician to oversee any health care related to transitioning, and for people to see that doctor in person. Those rules have proven particularly onerous because many...
What a nasty way to respond to a minority losing healthcare access. It’s really easy to sit there and tell them they should have tried harder when you’re not the one doing the work.
Are you a trans person with a distaste for your fellow trans people who can’t afford to move out/want to stay and fight, or do you just enjoy crowing about trans people losing access to healthcare?
Did you expect anyone to come away with a different conclusion from your condescending dismissal of trans people who are in Florida and right now do not have access to medically necessary care?

I’ve been playing Tin Can lately. Figuring out how to survive each event and deciding what parts to cannibalize is really enjoyable to me. I’m almost up to 25 minutes surviving!
This is sort of the plot of one of the stand alone stories in Sandman: Dream Country, except with cats instead of crows (“A Dream of a Thousand Cats”). If your library has it I recommend checking it out, it’s enjoyable.
A t-shirt? Big Dog was the shirt brand for middle aged and older men to get something ‘macho,’ sexist, or both! It cornered the market on that tough guy Facebook ad genre of t-shirts before Facebook was a thing. They had over 200 stores in the US back in the 90s/00s before they went out of business.
I can’t explain how crazy it was to walk into a store full of shirts like that.
Thanks for the source. From what I could find the story only shows up on tabloids (of which the NY Post is also one). Rage bait is a huge business interest for them, even more so than legitimate newspapers.
Is there some rule that employees have to follow that doesn’t allow customers to bag? Or is it just that they’re incentivized to offer? I’d love some input from people who have worked in some of the bigger companies. For reference, I mostly use Publix.
I don’t ask, I just start bagging. If they get done scanning before I get done bagging I switch to paying and either finish bagging after I’m done, or they finish bagging for me. You can wait for them to scan and then bag but honestly it makes me feel like a jackass to just stand there and watch them do it.
This is mostly at Ralphs/Kroger, but I wouldn’t hesitate to just start packing my stuff in any grocery store unless there was a bagger standing right there. Very rarely do I see any stores that hire enough people to keep baggers around though, usually they just make the cashiers do both jobs.
