It’s Scorpio season and the end(?) of Daylight Saving Time, as well as Twitter as we knew it. There’s a lot going on and some of it involves the livelihood of thousands of people. There’s also a midterm election this week that has a lot of us very, very stressed-out. I don’t mind if you don’t vote, but it’s only ok if you sink a mega yacht instead (I kid, I kid).
Speaking of kids, if you have them, or like seeing pictures of your nieces, nephews, and chosen family then maybe Shared Albums is the ticket to a better, more private photo system. Back in the day, this was Flickr for meβa big collection of friends and family photos I could peruse and comment on while sharing bursts of bike rides, jokes, and sincere outfit pictures. I work for the Flickr guy now, but that product is sadly a graveyard now. I tend to share and view photos via Slack and Discord, but the more cute babies my friends have, the more I need a tool for this again. I mean, one of my friend’s kids wears a COOL HELMET! Are you kidding me?!
I watched Good Time this week and a certain section of the movie had me look up if you can overdose on LSD. The answer seems like, no, not really. You can get so high though that you end up doing something dangerousβI had a friend who died while climbing on hallucinogens. I still wouldn’t go around mega-dosing LSD though, just to be safe.
The politicians and people who hate reproductive rights love to pretend that abortions involve people with emotions and agency, when they actually involve shitty little clumps of cells in almost all cases. I’m personally always going to believe that an adult has a right to healthcare and survival even if it means the ending of a pregnancy in their body. The ghouls in the GOP would prefer moralizing over a an effective cyst, but never funding services, education, and housing for actual living people. Wild, right?
So yea, the moral of today’s newsletter is: do some drugs, not too much, and get involved in changing the world for the better. Also, I guess, learn how to use Mastodon.

Closing
Did you dress up for Halloween? Did you make sure to x-ray all your candy to make sure it wasn’t inexplicably genital-shaped? Well, whether you got your Reese’s in bulk from an unsuspecting neighbor’s honor bucket, or bought them on discount November 1st like a true patriot, I hope you enjoyed that peanut-buttery taste. I made it home from Oregon without COVID (so far, so good), and managed to give a lot of money away to help protect queer rights, which means everything went to plan. I even rode my bike in the rain a bunch while I was there. I brought the rain home with me to California as a fun souvenir for our plants and forest fire prevention efforts. Riding in the rain absolutely frightens me, so I hope we’re back to dry conditions soon, but I do prefer this to smoke. Don’t forget to sleep extra tonight, and enjoy your week, space cowgirls~
