Concentration is fun but you ever tried

Having ADHD, losing your job, relocating from New York (can’t drive) to a residential neighborhood SoCal apartment with the only two people you know in the city during a global pandemic
(Public library branch in walking distance just reopened for in-person services and I’m trying not to run as I head there now. This feels like religious salvation.)

And now I shall turn off my phone, and read while I wait, with earplugs in, for salvation by the way of an extension cord delivery — and the glorious promise of concentration that’s finally so close I’m salivating.
Update: sitting inside the library and having the chance to work outside the house was all I could have hoped for and more.

It’s mind-blowing to realize how much COVID precautions and closures have impacted my ability to concentrate, regardless of other contingencies.

Wild.

You know “gelding” is a term for castration (i.e. males), right?

If you want to be an ignorant transphobic asshole in public, be my guest.

Only thing I’m doing is loving this incredible kid enough to listen to when he tells me who he is.
FYI: trans folks can still reproduce.

Yet another layer to the Onion of Dumb that was Himmi’s bigoted idiocy about castrating horses.
“Transing children” like it’s a verb. It’s an adjective - kind of like how I’ve known from birth I was “not trans.”

Medical transition (the process) isn’t even something all trans people pursue, whether hormones or surgery.

Empathy isn’t treating kids like breeding animals.

Remember when we told y’all Matt Heimbach never left extremism, and was running a Neo Nazi rebranding op this whooooooooole time?

You got played and amplified a genocidal fascist — and with well only over a year of plenty advance warning.

Slow. Clap.

Matt Heimbach’s trial date for Charlottesville has finally been set.

… in case you wanted to know why he finally caved and exchanged his 100% see through CVE mask for the comfy old Atomwaffen adjacent Neo Nazi one
“Matt Heimbach was a Neo Nazi, then wasn’t, but is again? Why are you even giving him attention?”

Stop.

The CVE community needs to learn from this heinous mistake ASAP because it was communicated in advance, is inexcusable, dangerous, and has done plenty of damage already.

My favorite human rights to empathetically advocate are ALSO the war crime ones — like torture against civilians I dislike!

[and yes, Jared Kushner is garbage]
I hate to ruin the “lol torture” party but shitty people — even Republican criminals — have human rights.

Acting otherwise is hypocritical, and extremely dangerous to all of us … humans — welcome to “how human rights violations become normalized.”

(Also it’s stupid)
“Chill it’s a joke”

Go watch the torture of your loved one and get back to me with your precise measurement of the hilarity.

OK LIL HOMIE OK
GET READY FOR A NO HUMBLE KID BRAG

I’ve watched ISIS behead my friends, Neo Nazis try (and fail) to murder me, and I’ll say it: no one should harm JK Rowling for her harmful, idiotic opinions.

That said —

“This [trans] movement” poses the HORRID risk of… my kid being treated like an EQUAL HUMAN BEING.
“Hundreds” of threats convince JK Rowling that “this [trans] movement” poses a risk to women (sexist AF btw; trans men exist).

Such an imaginative author, it’s damn pathetic she can’t dream up any empathy for…

… trans people literally just trying to survive every damn day.
