Yeah so like, I don’t want you to see me as a woman, or a man, or necessarily a third thing in between, but as a little spark of spirit obliged to drive a beat up early-model woman suit until the wheels fall off.
Relatedly, I am becoming aesthetically SO CONFUSING to gay men. Ahahahaha…

LA County developed a publicly owned and open source voting system that supports 18 different languages. It's ADA compliant. (Though a second generation voting machine is coming out to make it easier for low vision and blind voters).
No Diebold, etc. no proprietary black box software

And this is why the corporate class shut down Teen Vogue.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.
Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Today's my day to shine as my wife's co-workers drop photos of their costumed children into Slack and I explain them all. "That's a Saja Boy from KPop Demon Hunters. Soda pop emoji. That's a Labubu. Ogre emoji. Glinda and Elphaba. Pink heart, green heart. Showgirl. Football. 6 7. Twitchy eye emoji."

UNMUTE. And look after your people.
You have neighbors who might be struggling? Show up like “help I made too much bread, would you like some, I won’t use it all in time”
Invite the next door kids over to help you make cookies, feed them lunch while they’re there.
