Being trans really *isn't* about feeling trapped in the wrong body, it's about feeling trapped in the wrong society.

Extra special ❤️ to my fellow high functioners. There’s nothing easy about grinding to a halt, but there’s also a special kind of hell for people who continue to function and seem normal. It feels like drowning in plain sight. And on that note, the phrase “it’s OK not to be OK” can pop itself right in the sea as far as I’m concerned. Tolerance of poor mental health is bare minimum. Being not OK isn’t OK. People don’t need “permission” to be in that place, they need to be helped out of it.

TW: Suicide 2 nights ago I was in the worst place I’ve been mentally for years. I didn’t want to be alive anymore and I didn’t plan to act on it but I know it’s a short step from there. I sent a mayday text to 3 of my closest people and within 20 mins had someone with me. After a big chat, and 2 days of proper sleep, eating well, seeing friends and healthy distraction, I’m feeling much calmer and I can see the woods from the trees. Cont…

There's a decent chance Republicans start a civil war if Trump loses. But there's also a decent chance they'll start a civil war if they read the wrong Facebook post about Etsy.

Ask an autistic woman if she is currently masking and there's a good chance the answer will be "Hrm… I don't know…"

With thanks to Tidelift, who let me use my remote office budget on a full size whiteboard while I worked there. Some problems just really need a giant whiteboard to solve :blobcatmaths:

You may remember I had my autism assessment last week on Wednesday. I was told I’d receive the report today or tomorrow morning and I’d have a feedback session via video call tomorrow at 1pm. I have sent two emails since then to ask for confirmation of appointment and link to said video call. No response. Anyway I have come to the end of my assessment of my assessor and I hereby declare he is not autistic.

Got confused about the gender matchup of an adapter I'm looking for. Male? Female? Uh. "A pegger, not a peggee"

Casual use of AMAB/AFAB/AGAB by cis people so they can investigate Trans people, and know as much about their bodies as possible, is driving me insane. STOP. A little knowledge is very dangerous and that’s all many of you have: A LITTLE. That’s not what those terms were created for. There’s exceedingly few times it’s appropriate to bring up. You don’t need to know that – and it’s weird and invalidating that you want to. Are you a doctor? Is that information relevant? Is that information yours?

So at work a few weeks ago, I started a Slack thread that now has over 2000 responses. Today, that thread spawned a Spotify playlist that now is over 11 hours long. I really do love where I work.

lot of "technically correct" going on in my API design over here which is of course the best kind of correct

After some discussion on the Discourse, we have decided to entirely stop using X, formerly called Twitter, as a social venue for Sustain. So, from now on, we have formally paused using it.

I can tell I'm tired because today at work is Yet Another Reorg and all I can do is shrug.
