this is so pervasive among TERF women because their definition of womanhood fetishizes endurance of bodily suffering, and instead of looking deeply at how fucked up that is for THEM (and their daughters!) they act like it’s playing on Easy Mode for a trans woman not to have menstrual cramps

I went in actively wanting a trashy "guilty pleasure" read but I fear I'm just too offended by it. Also if I have to read a description of one more of her awful outfits I shall scream.

I'm reading Darkfever, which was a NYT bestseller but never took off in the UK. It's set in Dublin. It is quite clear why it would not be popular here; fuck ME. (It is also extremely bad generally on top of extremely offensive)

Nearly 5w since I tapered down to 10mg citalopram. SEs were mostly headache/ vertigo but settled after ~2w. No rebound panic or depression (yet), though I do have stress eczema on my fingers & I'm very snappy.

Can't stop thinking about the McSweeney's Sad Dad Bands, (first published January 14, 2022.)

Back on Twitter, I started a thread of my own riffs on Sad Dad Bands on January 17, 2022. Here is that thread, recreated.

This was great. If you ever have half a thing of French onion soup and some sad leftover baked potatoes I recommend it. I baked an extra onion and chucked that in, some grated cheddar, a dash of vinegar, black pepper.

I've got half a thing of French onion soup in the fridge and some slightly old & dry baked potatoes, and a wilted bag of chervil, and what I am going to do this evening is going to make them into a better-than-sum-of-parts soup.
