I feel like this is an interesting argument and a great rebuttal to all those types that are “number on chart goes up, economy is ok, you are lying!!” types
This also how I learned how the poverty line is calculated and .. makes sense why things are so fucked

If you told me three months ago that I’d be talking about / explaining what pleasure means for a trans woman and a cis woman together (or just t4t or traditional cis-femme couples) I would have checked you into a psych ward..

I always joked about how one of the hardest problems in computer science was naming things and so I just relied on other people to pick names
I did not realize this would come back to bite the fuck out of me as I have no idea how to choose my own name now

I feel like one thing that’s hit me a lot these last few years has been that I’ve become more of a hermit and haven’t socialized with friends enough, not even online. I *thought* that was ok (I’m an introvert!) but it clearly was not ok given everything that went on..

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I asked Chris Murphy if he privately talks to Dem colleagues about why they don't sound the alarm loudly. His answers were depressing. Dems tell him they don't want to be "alarmist" or that "democracy" didn't work in 2024, so they want to stick to health care. 5/
