Anyway, proud trans girl over here. I'm fired up and pissed off right now. We exist, no one can change that and for those of us safe to do so shining bright is a reminder of that. For as long as I can, I will shine for those who can't.
Just got myself totally tongue-tied calling @merkley.senate.gov office and having someone actually pick up.
I’m grateful to have two great senators and to be able to thank them. I appreciate that they listen to people like me who are asking them to do more right now.

@schumer.senate.gov yet again, you’ve failed us. Stop pretending you represent us and let someone who’s actually interested in leadership of the opposition party. I’ll be telling my senators today that we need different party leadership.

@schumer.senate.gov yesterday you voted against the will of the people and most of your peers. We need a leader in the senate with the will to fight and you chose another path. Step aside and let someone who has not set our faith in them ablaze the chance to be the leader we need.

@schumer.senate.gov cowardice and betrayal of the American people is deeply disappointing. I didn’t expect you to be a fighter but I also never thought you’d knife the most disadvantaged of us in the back. I’m outraged, disgusted and hurt by your actions. I will support anyone who runs against you.

Musk is outrageous and awful, *but he's a distraction.*
What matters today is what was signed in the Oval Office. Every day Americans, regardless of citizenship, lost a lot of important rights today.
If you're not feeling the weight of that, maybe they just haven't made you a target yet.

Anyone else remember Dark Castle? The original Mac version. I probably haven’t thought about it in decades but one of my earliest computer memories was dad bringing his Mac from work home over Christmas one year and letting me play it. I may need revisit it. youtu.be/cN37t8MRr-Y?...

Not a good sign. Speed running the Twitter progression indeed.
@aaron.bsky.team liked a post from a pornbot on his work account and then banned the ATProto dev who caught him. This comes after BlueSky failed to take any action against a notorious bigot.
This is chilling for anyone building BlueSky tools.
