So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!"
And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

Finished my read of @tananarivedue.bsky.social's "The Reformatory".
I'm sitting here at my desk, trying to compose what I want to say and instead I'm crying. What Robert goes through is heart-breaking, often infuriating.

The Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index is a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices, and benefits pertinent to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer employees (LGBTQ+). Disney shareholders rejected a proposal to break from the HRC and its CEI index.

The 2024 election was a reminder that the old school Dems needed to go ten years ago, I'm a Boomer and say it's time for my generation to go the hell home and let younger, stronger and better Democrats take the lead. The old "polite" days of American politics are long gone.

Don't just read trans books because of the horrific state of the world right now. Read our books because we have stories to tell. Every trans author, whether self-pub or trad, whether writing a Big Important Book or an escapist fantasy, fought a battle against them & the world to tell you something.
