My great grandfather, Arthur Garfield Hays, went to Berlin in 1933 to act as defense council through the ACLU, to Georgi Dimitrov, one of the three men accused of starting the Reichstag trials. I often wonder if I would have been brave enough to do the things he did and say the things that he said.

Might be one of the few construction sites around where crew members are talking thigh vs belly T shots, I find it pretty awesome

47 year old cis dude who does a lot of things that seem masculine but feel exactly the way you do. Don’t know that it’s just “your own shit”, you can put some of that on men

We were kicking ass in the Vermont snow today, empowering people by teaching timber skills. Cold AF though!

I work with several trans (men) and non binary folks. I believe that they’re all gay and with other trans men, and that there isn’t much odd for anyone in that. But I don’t know much, just a 47 cis dude with a gay daughter that likes to make space for people. Thanks for the enlightening convo

If your glance showed the maiden, you will hear the word "young" better through a noisy channel than the word "old."

If your glance showed the crone, the opposite.

You can literally see this in fMRI scans.

the “anti-fascist popular front” is big enough to include actual fascists (MTG) but not the most vulnerable targets of fascism (trans people, migrants), because they’re not actually trying to construct an anti-fascist popular front.

There is hate in your eyes
I have seen it before
Planning destruction
Behind the locked door
Were you the coward who fired the last shot
May you rot
In your grave
New world.

They are simply the mirror image of Hamas/Al Qaeda/Third Reich; ALL are operating on the same exact identitarian logic of racial purity, hyper nationalism, and violent xenophobia. The idea that ANYONE has a "right" to ANYWHERE is setting up a perilous pathway towards fascism.

I’ll never get over executive order 1488 and how long that must have been in the works

Duffy will probably still make air travel difficult for the holidays, just to troll the Dems and own the libs. He can always just say that they should have ended the shutdown sooner

Dismantling a barn. These folks are so badass, learning a ton and are super happy as we help them build some solid skills. We’ll be running the program again next year too it seems!

Cis guy here, answering for some friends. We just ran a timber frame apprenticeship program in VT and 2/4 folks were trans, one non binary and one young woman. 1/3 of us instructors is trans as well. One of our folks now have a job in the field and the other three have joined us for another gig
