I don't know how my ancestors survived.

Johns Hopkins is doing a long-COVID survey and apparently is having trouble finding controls -- people who haven't had COVID. If this is you, consider giving them some clicks.

Going to the restroom for a trans woman can be so anxiety inducing. I know for me it can be anyway. All I wanna do is get in and get out without any issues, hassles or problems.

But I had something happen while I was at lunch with my mother in-law that was rather affirming as a woman. It’s the opposite of what I’ve imagined could happen to me going to the women’s restroom.

I was washing my hands when a woman about my age came out of the other stall. She looked at me, straight in the face and asked if I could zip up the back of her dress. She didn’t even wait for a response. She just turned around and pulled up her hair. Then said, “It’s so hard to do this by yourself. So much easier when you have help. Thanks.”

She didn’t see me as a predator. Didn’t see me as someone who shouldn’t be in there. She saw me as another woman who simply would understand the need to have help zipping up the back of her dress.

I almost started crying.

I, a trans girl, went into the women’s restroom and nothing happened, except for another woman asked for my help.

Another reason to add to your photos, basically, anywhere, is that, yes, there are sighted people that disable all images in their browsers because it's faster to browse.

The august CDC in the US have redesigned their ME/CFS section [which contains sections for patients/general public & healthcare providers including a section from medical students].

Unclear to me how much is new material

A nice afternoon for a walk with Bob and Murphy, 61° air temperature and 16 mph west wind. Doesn't get much better than that!

Two goldendoodles pause for a picture. There is a green valley in the background along with a snow covered Mt. Adams.
Murphy and Bob, two goldendoodles, stop for a picture with a green agricultural valley in the background. Bob is perched on a large rock and Murphy is sitting on the ground next to Bob.

Sound up for dramatic nom noms. Emily wasn't having her snack quietly.

A very fluffy tabby eats snacks provided by a hand that comes in from off-screen. She is very much enjoying these treats as she chomps them several times while vocalizing her enjoyment in what sounds legitimately like she's saying 'nom nom'. Her huge whiskers and ear tufts are able to be seen clearly as she leans in to grab the treats. She's cute and she knows it.

Wear A Goddamn Mask

No one has to know whether you:

have Covid;

don't want to get Covid;

don't want anyone to see your face;

want to exercise the right to not have your face seen;

want to protest that legislators in some places are taking away the right to mask;

&c.
