  • Locksmith here. I’m also in a state with these laws, and on top of that there is no licensing for locksmiths. I’m an ALOA member now, but when I first started I would carry a card for my friend’s lock shop. I figured I’d I ever was stopped and searched I could at least present the card as part of a broader plausible deniability. Similar to your acrylic lock. If you have a locksmith shop in your area, grab one of their cards and keep it in your purse. Ideally in your lockpick set if it’s large enough.

    Also, a PSA. “Officer safety” does not trump the fourth amendment. If an officer orders you to let them search your purse for “officer safety”, anything found that isn’t related to the safety of the officer is out of bounds legally. That’s an argument for court tho. Make sure that they clearly state they are ordering you to have over your purse/bag/backpack/whatever. If they say “I’m asking you to”, that’s not an order. Saying something like, “With all due respect, I’m not surrendering my fourth amendment rights. If you order me to do something I will comply, and we can argue in court later. I want us both to get home safe tonight.” This shows you’re not volunteering to hand over your stuff, but you’re not resisting, hampering, or obstructing either. It’s a lot to remember, but “is that an order?” Is a great question to ask anytime a cop tells you something





  • I’m not gonna body shame someone for having a little peepee and tiny balls. That’s between them and their therapist/bar tender.

    I will say a giant vehicle or firearm is no replacement for gender affirming care. I would add that things that make a man feel more masculine, like hair transplants, penis enlargement, “low T” therapies, and similar things are gender affirming care. Those that receive that care should be reminded of that fact, lest they forget that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander



  • Here’s a fun exercise.

    If a person is driving a vehicle that has truck nuts, there is a high probability they are a inbred fascist hillbilly MAGAt.

    If you get the chance to talk to the driver of said vehicle, congratulate them on helping their truck transition to male, and thank them for supporting trans rights. Immediately exit the Lowe’s parking lot, letting them stew on what you just said

    (Caution: There is a >0% chance you will be assaulted for doing this. That likelihood increases proportionate to the amount of beard and body fat you do not possess)



  • I feel like the hungry -> starving process is just a longer version of the thirsty -> dehydrated process

    Does it make a difference that starvation takes longer than dehydration, but both result in eventual death? It takes weeks to die of starvation, it takes days to die of dehydration. Just because one manifests over a longer period of time and has a longer recovery period doesn’t make the other less deadly

    Also, I’m not sure if there are poisons a person can ingest that will strip vital nutrients and push a person into the starvation state (and if the poison does strip vital nutrients, the poisoned person already has bigger problems). But consuming alcohol will push a person into the dehydrated state without killing them.

    What if you compared the effects of dehydration and starvation as they progress, like, mild -> acute -> severe -> terminal?

    • Mild dehydration (day 1) kidneys conserve water, headache, fatigue
    • Mild starvation (week 1) blood sugar drops, liver increases glycogen breakdown, irritability, difficult to concentrate.

    Something like that?
