This is silly of course as this falsely assumes you need to define something to identify as something ultimately in terms of gender Women will always be an open and individual matter. Ultimately a woman in terms of gender is anyone who identifies as one. Transphobes will complain that this definition is circular as it's not useful or doesn't add anything. This is false as it adds the fact that women in terms of gender is an identity and it's useful because it is accurate and open-ended thus avoiding exclusions. Of course, Transphobes will never be happy with this because they are sex essentialists who fanatically cling to their essentialism regardless To add to this point don't ask trans people to define women. instead, ask them their experience and simply accept that that's their experience of womanhood.

I can't just heat them up in the microwave because doing that makes them taste like wet dog.
There are these things called 'stores', and if you go to one, they will give you food in exchange for money.

DHS is super geeked about an order they want to place for "ags". Automated ground surveillance vehicles. Mechanical quadripeds, better suited to the "non-environmental threats" that present themselves on borders.
Let's demystify this. They want to buy robot dogs who bite people. I've worked with them, I love them, and I know from personal experience that they're a uniquely bad idea.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Done with work for the day and perhaps the week.
Was 55 degrees when I woke up at 7 am. It's 1:30 now and the temp is 39 with a wind chill of 31...and it's starting to rain.
We are forecasted to get up to a couple inches of ice/snow between now and late Thursday night. Doesn't seem like much but when you are in an area that isn't flush with snow removal equipment, it gets messy really fast. Ice is a total shutdown situation.
It's way to late to get milk, bread, and eggs anywhere...luckily we don't need those things right now. I didn't wait till today to get prepared, other than picking up a prescription.

Wee got 31f rain for the next 48. The stores closed yesterday. We wont get any snow, no accumulation - but our powerlines might come down on the weight - like last time.

I'm waiting for the reports that Ted Cruz is off to Cancun.

It's a balmy 8 F out currently, but by the time I get home it would have been 0 F. So I skipped donating today in favor of Friday. Which is not looking a whole lot better.

It's 80f at night where I'm from. Left because it was too hot....didn't realize that it would be uninhabitable elsewhere.

I'm so bored that I went out in 10F weather (0 wind chill) and bought wood to make veggie planter boxes.
Where are the Ramones when I need them?
