Wait, It’s February Already?
Oh dear, that went fast, and I don’t know if it’s a good or a bad thing. Either way, I crawled to my blog ADHD late as usual, and left these words for you to read.

When I was disowned for being queer and lived in a foster home from 16 to 18 i later came back and people said they thought I had died and my first question was "okay, but in a cool way like fighting a bear or by tshirt cannon right?"
watching John Green talk about his buddy from high school who is still his friend and I’m curious, is that common for people on here?

Next gen computers should come with a mechanism that if you go bother queer people online in the places they didn't invite you in, you get sent to the latex bondage cube prison with only a tube to breath and can't get out til you learned your lesson

And not just a problem for trans people. Among other things, we must fix the billionaire & money in politics issues or the country is gone. Gavin isn't the person and is actively taking donations from the wealthy. We've tried the center-left way and it's failed for a decade. FDR or bust!
There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today.
I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand.
There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

How many trans kids have NOT committed violence toward others? Almost all of them.
This week we witnessed a truly horrific school shooting in Tumbler Ridge. And at a time when British Columbians are uniting in support of the community, some people have been exploiting this tragedy to push a political agenda against trans kids.
That's shameful and wrong. 🧵

I genuinely think the average centrist Democrat in America has absolutely no clue what legal and social discrimination trans people face on a daily basis, in every aspect of our lives, from family, to work, to the medical establishment, to social media, to the law, it's everywhere.
Average transphobic centrist shitlib.

When you hit the buy product link - you will be taken to financial confirmation of sales.
This means you have 3 viable links to product sales. Each additional link is an opportunity to lose the sale. When your new book publishes you need to have direct links.
