It's wild to me how both my sons are wearing "boy" clothing, playing with "boy" toys, but they keep constantly getting misgendered as girls, JUST because their hair is long 🙄
Got concerned as I was getting Link's teeth brushed for bed because I noticed he had some weird red rash on his cheek... Then Matthew reminded me they'd been rolling down a grass hill outside of the nursing home less than an hour previously 😏
If all goes according to plan, my dad will be transferred to the much closer physical therapy facility at 3:30, and I told him I'll visit after that. So... I should be able to livestream today 12-3 at https://www.twitch.tv/cerigotgame like usual!
Very quickly sketched out #webcomic page idea summarizing the blatantly nonsensical "female nipples are sexual because we treat female nipples as sexual" counter-argument I hear/read so often from #misogynist who want to maintain the #genderbased#censorship status quo established by the #patriarchy.
When you ask your kids about a minor detail in the show they like watching and somehow it starts world War three over how a nonsense world is pronounced 😑
Currently in a bar eating food truck sushi while my dad gets gallbladder surgery and they keep playing alternative music from the 2000s I love... Right now they're playing MCR's Helena, which I almost never hear over Black Parade. This place is kinda far (close to the kaiser hospital) but maybe I can head back here some other time when I have more time to spare 🤔
One piece of good news... After initially refusing a mouse yesterday (as he often does), I left the mouse in overnight and apparently Aziraphel my #hognose#snake changed his mind and ate it after all! 🎉
Why isn't there an #AI bot trained to summarize peer-reviewed #medical studies so that #doctors can more easily stay informed about advancements in #healthcare ?
A #webcomic page I quickly sketched out while I get ready to go visit my dad in the hospital, inspired by some in-shells in my mentions whining out the same nonsensical arguments for why #gender based #censorship against so-called "female npls" should remain the status quo. First of all, "sksual organs" only applies to the parts actually involved in procreation; the term you're looking for is "erogenous zones," which can apply to ANY gender's npl, as well as lips, ear, knee, elbow, foot, whatever... It depends on the person, and is absolutely not limited to "people who look female." in addition to that, the argument that "female npls must remain banned from public and online because men are attracted to them" is the most asinine argument and I don't understand how (besides #misogyny) anyone can say this with a straight face?? You think straight women and gay men aren't equally as turned on by MALE chests?
It continues to amaze me how, for all our supposed progress towards #equality in other regards, especially #lgbt / #queer issues, top free #inequality remains this one US issue that continues unquestioned and unacknowledged by the vast majority of Americans, even so-called leftists. YOU ARE SAYING IF SOMEONE "LOOKS FEMALE," THEN THEY DESERVE LESS RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES THAN SOMEONE WHO "LOOKS MALE." HOW ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS?!?
So uhhh my dad is still in the hospital, we're waiting to find out if he's getting gallbladder surgery or a pacemaker or who knows what, mostly we've just been bored waiting for endless tests after he fell in his room the night before last and lay on the ground for several minutes before he was able to get back up. I'm about to go down and spend some time with him while the kids are at school but I'll have to be back in a few hours to let the dogs out to pee and make sure Fenris hasn't died of anxiety from being left home alone for so long. I'm going to assume he'll still be in the hospital tomorrow so no livestream, but who knows. I'll keep y'all updated if I can livestream after all. Miss you guys ❤️
Weee... Fucking US Healthcare industry 🙃 so apparently my dad got out of bed last night to go to the bathroom and felt sudden weakness and dizziness so intense that he fell to the ground and took an unknown while to find the strength to get back up (without making enough noise to wake us up, right across the hall)... He didn't hit his head thank God and he's okay now, just quite sore (mainly the leg he already twisted on Wednesday) but even he admitted he wants to get looked over by a doctor, and he HATES doctors so that's saying a lot... Unfortunately he has Kaiser Permanente (paid through my mom's survivorship annuity) so visits with a pcp take 4+ months to schedule (and we still haven't even gotten a call to schedule with a cataract surgeon after they approved him two months ago 🙃) and I'm not sure where or how KP's urgent care clinics work, so I had to play extensive phone tag trying to talk to a live person to find out more and I ended up with an advice nurse who asked a lot of questions and conferred with a doctor, and even though my dad is (comparatively) fine now, they told us to still go to an emergency room, because "urgent care doesn't have the facilities to do imaging work." so I have to bring my 80+ year old dad into a waiting room full of who knows what other virulence, wait for who knows how many hours to have him curtly looked over, poked and prodded and traumatized, then best case scenario get him released to go home and eagerly wait to see how many thousands of dollars we'll owe because US health "insurance" is a criminal enterprise that doesn't cover sht...
What is the f'ing point of "urgent care" if all they can do is check your pulse and look in your ears like any regular pcp?? It's all so fucking corrupt 🙃🙃🙃
