In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Our latest.
European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

You can bring pookie (furry #cat toy) to food, but you can’t make it eat. Not sure which cat is trying to improve pookie’s diet, but I also fished pookie out of the water fountain last night, so something is up. #Parrot denies having anything to do with it.

Thanks for joining us, everyone! Hope you enjoyed Tura. Not sure it'll make me sit through Astro Zombies again, though. #Cinejanes

Astro Zombies is terrible, but it has three great things:
1. John Carradine
2. Tura Satana
3. Tura Satana's dresses

There's one here, out on the peninsula. The screen is framed with the Olympic mountains. It's incredible. #cinejanes
There is still one drive in theater around here. I loved going to the drive-in when I was a teen

"You could go to the drive-in in your pajamas." I regularly did. But I was also a small child at the time. We'd fall asleep with the golden retriever in the back of the station wagon. #cinejanes

I was just thinking, "That's a Tarantino movie," and then Dita Von Teese is saying "That's a Tarantino movie." Hahahaha. #cinejanes

Practing the tassel stuff must have been kind of surreal. #Cinejanes

Gotta love a documentary that treats the director of Astro Zombies as a respected source. #Cinejanes

OMG, John Waters took Divine to Faster Pussycat at a drive-in. Oh, to have been in the back seat of that car. #cinejanes

According to the 'Orkneyinga Saga' (c. 1200), a snowstorm forced Earl Harald Maddadsson and his men to spend a night in the Maeshowe chambered cairn on Orkney; we are not told what happened there, but when they emerged in the morning, two of the men had gone insane. #WyrdWednesday
