EM is recreating every James Bond movie. Mass media control, rockets, outer space colonization plans, getting a government database decoder, wanting to get into Fort Knox, dominating silicon valley... I'm just waiting to find out he's got a secret base in a volcano and another under the ocean.

Honestly, it's taking all of my restraint to not just go:

"I'm a trans person - BOOO! I'm using my magic DEI powers to raise prices so your breakfast is ruined forever. Boooooooo."

I'd probably get sued, though since they've already got a patent on wearing white sheets.

Looking for ideas to resist and best react to all that's going on?

Call your legislators as often as possible; meeting with them or their staff is even better.

(Dog pic for the algo and because she wants you to fight the good fight.)

Not to seem glib at the suffering of others, but I'm allergic to eggs.

My whole life, I've constantly had to ask if they were an ingredient.

Every.single.time.I.go.out.

I stopped wearing makeup to work this week.

Initially, thought it was because I was getting a root canal and didn't want anything touching my face.

Then, I thought that it was a subtle protest; I don't need to wear a mask to be me.

Today, I'm thinking it's so that my mascara won't run.

It wasn't that long ago that someone wouldn't refer to their significant other with a directly gendered pronoun unless they knew it was safe to do so.

Code switching and the pronoun game were just a way of life.

Hope we're not regressing to those days, but won't fault folk who do so to stay safe

Ever had one of those days when you wake up and your very existence is now an act of civil disobedience?
