I promise you, Sheldon, that as one of your constituents, what we want is Dems to fight like their lives depend on it too.
Because a *lot* of American lives hang in the balance.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

If you want to understand the fools establishment Dems take us for, and you want your blood pressure to hit the roof, read this absolute gaslighting from one of the "no" senators.
Senate Dems have one path to begin rebuilding trust: remove Schumer.

For my first piece back from vacation, I blogged about the people who moved from Texas to Russia to escape gay people and then found out living in Russia kind of sucks:

They left Texas for Russia to escape 'LGBT indoctrination.' Turns out, it sucks.
Their Texas towns had too much "DEI" and "LGBT indoctrination." So they moved to Russia and became influencers.

Yog's Law. Money flows to the writer.
This includes markets charging "reading fees" or "submission fees"... they are unheard of in SFFH. No idea why they are acceptable by the lit fic crowd.

🚨 ATTN Writers, Book Club Scams
For new writers: Money should always flow TOWARDS the writer. NEVER pay for promo.
I've been getting roughly one of these emails a week for the last month. I contacted the real club to give them the heads-up (who confirmed the obvious scam) so I feel I can share

A lot of well meaning cis allies will still be under the impression that your average trans girl grew up just like the boys around her. I don't think many actually understand just how frequently people picked up on how we are different and considered hurting as a victimless action

I said months ago that folks should not panic over the Davis petition, incl a really great piece with @judedoyle.bsky.social. That every Court expert I talked to said it was unlikely to succeed at all, much less undercut Obergefell.
There are things that we should panic about. This was never one.
