I am a transmasc first-time homeowner!
Even in the short mon… James Dillon needs your support for Help a First-Time Trans Homeowner Replace His Foundation

A year-on update for my GoFundMe: still raising money.
To recap, foundation repairs I knew would be needed turned out to be more extensive than I thought. The cost is (at least) $10,000 higher than the largest loan I could take out.
Anything helps. #MutualAid

I’m teaming up with some fellow community members to place a big order with a restaurant that has seen its business disrupted by ICE presence on the south side. And what better way than to get food for neighbors in need?

![A Canva-mocked up call script re: calling electeds Trump Administration's actions in Venezuela
YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. I’m calling from [ZIP CODE].
YOU: I’m calling [MOC] to demand they condemn the U.S.’s actions in Venezuela tonight. The Trump administration has carried out an illegal attack and capture of Maduro that is a clear violation of international sovereignty and will impact relationships will alienate international allies, and [ELECTED] must speak out about this.
YOU: I am also calling on [MOC] to:
1. Speak plainly about this to their constituents. They can acknowledge the Maduro regime’s abuses AND recognize this as an unlawful extraterritorial detention,
2. Demand a legal written justification from the Administration,
3. Hold IMMEDIATE House/Senate Foreign Affairs hearings on the the decision-making, legality, and diplomatic risks of the Maduro operation,
4. Demand an immediate classified briefing for the Gang of Eight.
YOU: What happened tonight will have ramifications across the world in the days, weeks and months to come, and we need answers and action taken.

It is very important that your federal electeds hear not only from you on social media, but through direct contact as well. Tag them and then
Call and email. Do both. Tell them to move to immediately impeach and remove for an unconstitutional war of aggression.

(i've just done this a lot — i used to really try to insist on people using much more precise wording, until one day, as I was leaving a podium, a kind MoC pulled me aside and was like "you're making it too complicated, we don't track that level of detail from those calls")

On this, the birthday of JRR #Tolkien, this #LotR quote has never been more relevant:
Frodo: I wish none of this had happened.
Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

giving a bunch of racist, misogynist, actual nazis a button to virtually strip any person is just a depravity it is hard to fucking fathom.
also I've crossed a fucking rubicon on AI tonight. If the cost of it is creating revenge porn of children and murder/suicides, WHAT IS FUCKING WORTH THAT.

Say this louder for the people in the back! Walz is a moderate, and while I appreciate that he's governor, let's not forget that he gets pushed by the WOMEN in this state.
tim walz won his governorship by running as a pro-pipeline moderate who was in touch with rural people
he got pushed to the left by the house DFL caucus and Minnesota organizing

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

This is a damn good point. Chani's statement is not factually incorrect but ignores the ace community. Because sapphic romance is not all fun sexy times as well. One of my friends, Sula Sullivan wrote a fantastic sapphic ace PNR book that I loved.
Its assumption that sapphic is smut and horniness also throws sapphic aces under the bus and non-sexual sapphic romance (whether ace or not) out of being considered sapphic.
