I stopped at the gas station to get a drink on my way to school pickup.
As I'm looking at the snack aisle this grizzled woman in a flannel walks straight up to me with this serious expression.
She gets right up in my face, looking me dead in the eye, close enough that I can smell the cigarette smoke on her breath.
I'm frozen in terror, and she says to me...
"Your shirt is inside out."

Damn right they should be sharing all that fucking money
Just got my second mammogram since I turned 40. Owwwwe. I dunno if this place has older equipment or if its just because I was thinner back then, but that hurt way more than before. She had to like wedge my shoulder into the machine to get the capture she wanted.
Gonna be bruises on my clavicle after that.
Weighed myself this morning. I am 344lbs.
I have been 344lbs now since 2023. It has held remarkably steady regardless of how much or how little I eat.
Before I developed gastritis from the stress of coming out to my wife, I had been 344lbs in 2016. I lost 50lbs from that event, and it stayed off for 3 years. Then my weight started creeping back up again.
There's been tons of research that proves this pattern happens for everyone who loses lots of weight.
We still don't seem to know why.
I didn't think anything could top the number four for today's bonkers tech drama, but this php vulnerability is trying really fucking hard.

I want to see somebody create an open source tv firmware like OpenWRT is for routers. This is becoming such a massive niche that needs filling.
I am trying to work on the GDB but this... this isn't helping.
If your reason for accepting AI contributions to a FOSS project is "most employers are requiring people use AI", I think you have missed the point of FOSS

That thing wouldn't fit into most of the spaces my home has needed repair. I'm struggling to think of a repair it *could* do
The music isn't even bad, it's just really boring. An entire album of B-sides. Weak production values.
Yesterday I learned that after Tom left Blink182 to form Angels & Airwaves, Mark and Travis started a new band called +44. I wondered why I had never heard of this twenty years later.
Well after listening to their one album, I wonder no longer. It is entirely forgettable.
This week’s Cassie Workman is Witchy AF is pretty great.
The Russian translation appears to have been done using some kind of translation software (they forgot to remove the app plug on one of the pages).
It’s mostly accurate, but there is one line that is hilariously mistranslated.
"Increased emissions during climax" was changed to "Greater discharge during menopause"
Picturing the confusion that must have induced in a few trans eggs makes me break into a giggle fit.
Oh man, the person who did the Taiwanese translation did such a delightful job. They left all the original text as comments, so it’s really clear where I am in the file while editing the non-prose.
They even translated some of the tweets!
I'm now checking each paragraph with Google Translate as I migrate them to the new website, and I'm finding other little areas where the translators editorialized their own opinions into the text, sometimes in response to their own mistranslations.
This was one of the first translations, it’s been up there for more than five years.
I’m pissed.
I just found out that the people who created the Traditional Chinese translation of the Gender Dysphoria Bible thought I was trying to claim that all trans people need dysphoria to be trans.
That’s actually the opposite of the book’s thesis, which now has me worried that they translated it wrong. Is there anybody out there who reads/writes Chinese and is willing to perform an audit?
Reading through medical journals:
> we demonstrated the presence of LH receptor in normal male breast tissue obtained at autopsy, archival samples of benign gynecomastia, and male breast carcinoma. Although the function of these receptors remains to be determined, the findings suggest the possibility that LH may play a role in male breast disorders.
Or, and this is just a theory, maybe it just means that breast tissue has LH receptors, regardless of sex?
For fucks sake...

The Gender Dysphoria Bible now has its first new page in six years! @Impossible_PhD has contributed a new section on transition regret rates and if a gender transition is worth it. https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/regrets/
For anyone interesting in helping out the site, there are 17 languages that will need this page translated.
