Yeah. And, like, they’re not entirely wrong, I certainly oppose the US doing that kind of thing without so much as getting a law professor to think of an excuse, but also, like, путін хуйло.

But now all of a sudden, imagine one wing of the Pentagon is planning a little green men operation in Greenland while another is trying to plan the next joint exercise with Denmark and so on… I’m not saying that couldn’t work, but it’s problem that didn’t exist with Venezuela.

But they do have to implement them and that doesn’t just happen. There’s a lot of machinery. Massive bureaucracy. Very effective… if everybody involved is pointing in the same direction.

No trans journalists is ever involved at any level in nyt news coverage about trans ppl; we are purposely excluded. The nyt has not hired or assigned a trans journalist to cover trans news for at least five years. Your publisher and top editors are well aware of that.

Yeah. And now I think of it, when I have seen floor drains in the US, they often are purely for backup and then they run dry and smell. But, like, that’s also a common problem with mop sinks in janitorial closets where the janitor actually uses the one on another floor, etc, in commercial buildings?
