This is almost entirely inconsequential, as far as I've been able to tell, but (I hope) it's still kinda fun.

Sometimes you wait to catch the next bus because sometimes the bus-stop eccentricity is a little too too.

This is a hell of a thing.
1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website.
The stated reason is harmful to us all.
I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

The New Deal actually offers a model here. Its architects saw democracy and prosperity as intricately intertwined and, moreover, knew they had to *promote* the idea that they were connected.
the challenge is building out an alternative cultural story that connects prosperity to solidarity and democracy. that *convinces* people that you can be a success without climbing over others. i don’t know where that will come from! i think it is something that you’ll ultimately have to find.
