Nova's tips for beating the heatwave:

Fun fact- when I was a baby, my parents pretty quickly started suspecting I had autism. Like, before I even hit the year mark. They got me assessed four different times. the first one was when I was a baby, and they're pretty sure the only reason their concerns were brushed off is because I was a girl, and most people thought girls couldn't be autistic. Two times were when I was a toddler, after I was talking and walking, because they noticed I was happier to sort my toys than actually play with them. Both times, that doctor (different doctor from the first) firmly decided I couldn't possibly be autistic because- get this- I started talking early. And the fourth one was when I was getting ready to start preschool, because they were really like "Okay, there's no way she isn't, the doctors must have been wrong." And again, they were told I wasn't autistic because if I was, they would know already. Since I wasn't already diagnosed, I clearly wasn't autistic. It must just be from my brain injury

before I was diagnosed with “gender dysphoria” and “transsexualism” I got a hysterectomy. this was not easy— medical misogyny exists and I had to assert repeatedly that i didn’t want children and I was married with a spouse who didn’t want children and that I had tried a “less invasive” solution first. all this sucked. it was paternalistic and condescending and led to me suffering for years for zero reason.

imagine your super hunky husband has been in space for years and years, and you’re so excited because he’s finally back and you’ve been dreaming of all the things he’ll do to you when he gets back because he’s a freak and loves you sm only for him to be like “hey, I found this squishy jello leaky alien thing who’s built like a worm, and can sense things we can’t, and speaks in clacks and chatters and little harsh sounds. I owe it my life so we’re keeping it and I’ll kill everyone on this planet and then myself is smth happens to it.”
