Today, a lovely lady at my usual Irish session said something that assumed I was straight and I realized it’s been YEARS since someone assumed I was straight to my face and that actually made me pretty happy 😆

Alright y’all, I’m at a point where I’m in desperate need of management. Any tips? Ideas? Thoughts? I simply cannot keep this up on my own anymore.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.
This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.
Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.
And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Hot take but commission fees shouldn’t shouldn’t be lower just because the composer calls for improv or uses graphic notation. Those things take just as much time and effort as conventional notation (if not more, tbh).

Y'all let's FAX SCHUMER. Emails can be ignored, phone lines can get jammed, and do you know annoying and attention-getting it is to get faxes? You can send them FOR FREE from whatever device you're using to read this: faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

BREAKING: In response to our lawsuit, the National Endowment for the Arts will no longer force grant applicants to certify that they won't promote "gender ideology."
This is a big step toward defeating the NEA's unconstitutional censorship.

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.
The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.
Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week

“If a married woman hasn’t paid $130 to update her passport —assuming she has one, which only about half of Americans do— she may not be able to vote in the next election if the SAVE Act becomes law,” @wendyweiser.bsky.social tells Glamour

The bill would make it harder for women, people of color, young voters, and other marginalized groups to register to vote.

Few things shock me anymore but I am utterly disgusted by what Mapi Leon did to Daniela Caracas. That’s honestly a lifetime ban-worthy offense. We can’t allow transphobia to get a foothold in the sport, period.

In case you were wondering, calling someone white isn’t racism. So relieved the courts got this one right.
