99% of the time, the people who end up getting barged in on by police and security guards with transgender bathroom bans are cisgender lesbian women.
Bathroom bans don't work because you can't tell whose trans by looks alone.

You have an obligation to fight bad art with good art. If you make it (and you can), you must make it. If you can't make it (seriously, you can, just start), support it. If you can't afford to support it, talk about it.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science.
Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics".
Silence now *is* political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about".
We need to sound the alarm.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

On Audre Lorde’s birthday, I’m thinking about her Kitchen Table Press.
She (second from left), Barbara Smith, Cherrie Moraga and Hattie Gossett came together to establish a press centering feminist and lesbians of color — and it shook the publishing industry. #bhm

Good morning. After a couple adult beverages and a good nights sleep I am back to fight the fight.
Here is my pep talk for myself (and you):
1) you must fight for all those who can’t, for as long as you can.
2) focus on helping those who see your value and ignore the noise.
