1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?
Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.
Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Season 7, Episode 7: Father Mulcahy in a towel.
Did I just finish MASH? Yes. Did I immediately get ahold of some DVDs? Yes. Am I making a list of episodes where Father Mulcahy looks real sexy? Also yes.

This is not okay, my fellow Washingtonians.
1. This weekend, far-right group Lets Go Washington announced that it had collected enough signatures to get a trans sports ban on the ballot in the state.
The bill includes genital inspection provisions.
It is one of the first to go forward in a blue state.

Trans Sports Ban With Genital Inspections Gains Enough Signatures To Appear On Washington State Ballot
The initiative collected 400,000 signatures, and will be one of the first major attempts to get an anti-trans law onto the ballot in a state that has dubbed itself a "refuge" for transgender people.

Had a great week of film viewing: CHRISTY — had zero interest and wouldn't have seen it if I had not been invited, but got caught up by the performances and story; THE MASTERMIND — my love for Kelly Reichardt persists and my love for Josh O'Connor grows, also, dang those Thompson boys;

I said this before and I am sure I will say it again; the frequency with which male colleagues talk shit about their female colleagues in airline lounges is astounding.
Listening to two men discuss abducting and killing a female colleague they dislike.
"She is too confident."
I love bears.

When I was 10, my friend Wendy got tickets to see #Ozzy on the Blizzard of Oz tour and asked me to join her. My mother, never one for active parenting, said yes and Wendy's mom dropped us off at the Hartford Civic Center.
He did not bite a bat; he did throw a crucifix. I got my first contact high.

One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert

IDEA: @pbs.org and @npr.org create a 24/7 paid subscriber channel featuring whatever the fuck programming #Colbert wants: late night talk show, Amy Sedaris, Keanu Reeves blowing our minds, Jon Stewart, Evi, LOTR trivia, and Father Jim. Each paid subscription subsidizes 1 for someone w/o the means.

The anti-graffiti ordinance that the #Seattle City Council is about to pass is being handled by their Public Safety Committee.
Seattle, where white people feel unsafe because they are forced to look at things that make them uncomfortable.
Performative bullshit, once again.

The condescension dripping from the lips of the GOP is astounding. They are liars and I pray for a vengeful God.
