There are some who will quibble that events like the ones which occurred today lack fervor toward actual change. Those people are daft. Without enthusiasm and hope, a body politic cannot sustain activist efforts. Notice any difference in the timeline?

Creativity entails exploration, even if it transgresses one’s moral qualms or depicts illegal acts. Bans on specific content inevitably expand to stifle expression altogether. It starts with contentious material (“degenerate art”, anyone?), then escalates toward absurdity.

I receive my first paycheck on Tuesday. After rent to my family, as per our agreement, I should still have a decent amount left. Afterward, I plan to make two nest eggs, one for me, and one for the family. I should then be able to start regular donations with the remainder.

I wholeheartedly believe that if the so-called American Dream (id est, prosperity) were more attainable, fewer people would fall for corporate-funded propaganda. Henceforth, they would scapegoat immigrants and transgender folk, among other groups, to a far lesser degree than now.

Some folk I know still act like they are above it all, and even try to argue that it’s a moderate stance to deprive people’s right to due process, and to express a desire for a justification to engage in an anti-transgender pogrom, among other illiberal acts.
