Holiday reminders:

- If someone has a new relationship, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone is pregnant and they want to share that, they’ll tell you. You don’t need to ask.
- If someone’s body has changed, they’re aware. You don’t need to point it out.

With its hateful rhetoric, the right seeks to cast gender identity not as something you are, but as something dangerous that you believe. We aren’t against trans people, just their ideology.

Yet the end goal is the same: to wipe out transness itself. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
How the right uses "gender ideology" to blame trans people for everything
MAGA learned from global autocrats the language needed to push fear.

Kantha in Bengali means cloth, traditionally made from the best parts of old worn saris or dhotis. Also the name of a way of stitching in which variations of running stitch are worked though all the layers of cloth, quilting them together, creating intricate designs #WomensArt

I love this framing and I would add that exploration is rooted in freedom and intensity.

Both are ideal but if you don't have either I am not your Huckleberry.

Shit. Crying about Fergus again. Whenever I had a bad day or got bad news the first thing I'd do is go home and hold him. He'd always just relax in my arms and trigger a flood of all the good brain chemicals. It made all the bad stuff go away. I would do anything to bury my face in that fluff again.

All, I appreciate your patience with today's stream. YT has upheld their decision. The stream is unrecoverable. Also I am locked out of live streaming. We may have to postpone all interviews, including Shanks, until this clears. Stay tuned, and I'll see you on the other side.

IDIC means celebrating all facets of humanity and ensuring peace, safety and support so we can all manifest our greatest selves. Denying trans people this right is in direct violation of Star Trek’s ethics and core values. Violence against the trans community must end.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn those whose lives were lost to anti-trans violence.

We honor those we lost by continuing our fight for justice.

The world is so intensely broken that when I post a legitimate article announcing a new Stargate series, 50% of comments denounce it as “fake news A.I.”

People blindly spread so much garbage, that humans can no longer discern fiction from reality.

Y’all. We broke truth.

If you haven't seen this recent video yet, it's about the uncomfortable situation where you find a group of #Autistic and #AuDHD humans, and still don't feel comfortable around them, and/or there's just as much drama as among NT groups. Here's my take on why that happens.
