Hello, new followers! Something must have jumped up and bit y'all because it's popping off in here.
I don't post a bunch, and when I do, it's as likely to be about something silly as it is about resisting fascism. So that's what to expect.

I think our house has a presence of some kind. Besides us, I mean. But I will not call it the g word, and while I do not address it directly, I make statements out loud about how I don't have the time or energy to engage with interdimensional stuff so no thanks.
do you believe in ghosts or are you like me, a person who finds themself saying all the time “I absolutely don’t believe in ghosts, but this place has ghosts.”

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

Sometimes I feel bad about working in corporate comms because I couldn't freelance after my divorce.
Other days I just enjoy how unmessy my life is.

The two biggest strategic reasons to invest in red state Dems IMO are:
1. You've got to build a firewall and red states are the laboratories for democracy destroying ideas.
2. Those red state Dems know how to fight the GOP far better than most, bc they grew up doing it on every political level.

Lots of people reading your hot takes on Bubba are gay or bi. There are lots of jokes to be made--Clinton is RIGHT THERE--but if the best you've got is 101 basic bitch homophobia, got some bad news for you about you.

Idk but I get routine MRIs because of my breast cancer risk (my oncologist alternates it with my mammogram), and it is abundantly clear which part of my body is being imaged by the way they put me topless and facedown with my boobs dangling and a hard piece of plastic pressing into my solar plexus.

I worry about weirding out my kid as the trans ally equivalent of a booster club mom (GO DOLLS!), but people wear sweatshirts, put out yard signs, and drink coffee from mugs with sports team logos to loudly show support for *that*. Why do friends and family get less?
I know some people get weirded out by the earnestness of queer allies, but I love every cis/straight person loudly showing their support for their LGBTQIA friends, families and random strangers.
Demonstrating to others their acceptance and love is an important art of normalising our existence too.

I'm "supposed" to be on HRT so I can remain womanly for the sake of my marriage, but I am not on HRT.

for those puzzling out why an administration hostile to HRT for transition is super pro HRT for menopause, their claims that menopause ruins women and marriages seems pretty key
No, menopause does not kill women or cause divorce.

Yet I was led to believe that protestors at an abortion clinic have the right to stand just outside the private property line and pray at people.
“During the call, the anonymous representative told a group of faith leaders and activists that ‘There is no more prayer in front of building or inside the building because this is the state and it’s not [of a] religious background.’”
These cowards can’t even talk to clergy face-to-face.

I have been screeching about Wilks and Dunn for years, whenever people ask me (perfectly sensible) questions like, "Marrit, why is Texas so fucked?" It's these guys. Years, I tell you.

The media is about to blitz us with stories about how awful Maduro is and I want you to remember that even if they're all true, they are being issued solely for the purpose of manufacturing consent for invading Venezuela and killing innocent people.

Just to say: I have menstruated for 42 years,* sometimes in public and with the heaviness of perimenopause, and I have no issue sharing public bathrooms with trans women.
I don't look at anyone's hands at the sink because if you are washing, that's good enough for me.
