1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.
In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.
These are the people I'm remembering today.

My favorite thing about the Mamdani victory is that it is finally forcing Democratic leadership to show where their true loyalties and priorities lie. My hope is that Democratic loyalists in my life finally wake up or just accept that they aren’t as progressive as they think they are

Finished this masterpiece for the first time in a decade yesterday and I have updated thoughts.
In terms of story, characters, and setting, this is the best GTA has ever been; 10/10. I feel like Liberty City 2008 is a real place and I miss it when I have to leave.

A reminder that in Abundance, the authors suggest that in the debate over affordable housing policy, the only choice is either A) letting wealthy real estate moguls not provide their renters’ breathable air or B) mass homelessness.

Stop using "felon" as a pejorative.
I have known A LOT of people charged with or convicted of felonies who were good and decent people. When you have 4% of the world's population and 22% of the world's prisoners in a racialized police state, "felon" isn't predictive of anything, character-wise.
