I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Frantically checking to see if June 7th falls on a weekday next year. Great news for all teachers out there (who aren’t parents or the Sunday school variety). You will hear about it, but you will not have to personally endure ‘6/7’ day

Hey, you know how CBS News is getting turned into a right-wing propaganda hose? If this goes through, the same thing will happen to CNN. However bad you think CNN currently is, it'll get so much worse.

I have a train playlist that includes (so far) only songs whose lyrics contain the word “train”.
Should I also add songs that obviously reference trains (ex: Gillian Welch Wayside)? The playlist is currently 147 songs and almost 10 hours long. Yes, I am neurodivergent.

1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

I am getting multiple reports that the Trump admin is NOT complying with the court order requiring passport updates for transgender people.
Some passport agencies are being told not to give trans people passports with their correct gender marker, for now.

I don’t remember the last time someone other than my nonbinary partner checked in with me in terms of how I’m handling all of the attacks on trans folks this year. I’m not saying I need that, but it’s disheartening because I know most trans people are probably experiencing the same thing.

Not only are trans people not negatively impacting your lives, we're probably positively impacting your lives in lots of ways, there's so many wonderful trans creatives in this world making art, books, music, films, games, and putting our all into making the world a little nicer than it treats us.
A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks.
Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.
