Since many of the tankies see us trans women as acceptable losses in The Revolution, allow me to cite an apocryphal quote from a Communist for the advice I tell trans people: "To get rich is glorious."
None of us should risk low paying service except in spare time. Go be an actuary & make money.

If I was a better woman, I’d feel an obligation to enter public service in 2029 to help undo the damage Trump caused but like…
You fuckers are gonna do it again and the first thing the Republicans are gonna do is sabotage or fire all the transes, so why should I commit to a doomed career?

At this point, it's semi-retired AEW wrestler Chuck Taylor, who was a couple years behind me in school. I was friends with his cousin and hung out with him briefly at an Old School Wrestling show in Hardin right when he was starting training

Extremely proud to announce that I was reappointed today by Gov. Whitmer to the Library of Michigan Board of Trustees. With my new term, I will serve through October 2029 into the next administration.
I'm very thankful to the Governor and her administration for the honor of appointing me twice.

It’s so much weirder than other Big Institutions destroyed by VC, because the Hudson m’s Bay Company essentially *created* the nation state of Canada. Survived for 355 years only for late capitalism to devour it. It’s so so so much more strange than Toys R Us or whatever.
minor drama:
a year ago, the historic Hudson's Bay Company was destroyed by venture capitalists, and they were the traditional olympic outfitter. The company was of course evil but they came around to acknowledging their history in their later years, and the 2018 olympic outfit was fire:
