Howdy new followers!
I’m Keira!
Yes, I’m trans.
I talk about lots of stuff but given the looming…. Unpleasantness for
LGBTQ people I’m probably gonna spend a lot of time ranting about those issues so uh, be forewarned.
If that bothers you, move on.

Had a great birthday yesterday. Wife got me a surprised session with a professional makeup artist, took me to get a gel manicure, and then organized a dinner with a few friends and had a quick online call with an amazing friend who couldn’t be there in person.

Voyage of the Starwolf/Middle of nowhere as a teen by David Gerold.
Yes yes, it was also space adventure but it touched on so many things that became more profound the older I got.
Sex, gender, body modification, order and chaos, anger, loss and grief, all interleaved in a cohesive world.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

Hey, yo, if your Reps or Senators are on social media posting about Veterans Day and all that TYFYS bullshit but they did things like vote against the PACT Act or vote to decrease the VA’s budget, you should be calling them out publicly. Don’t let them get away with that shit.

Hey uh, so sometimes you really are an impostor and you’re just lying to people and bullshitting them.
Just cause you didnt get caught doesn’t mean you didnt suck.

Imposter syndrome doesn’t signal weakness—it signals you’re exactly where you should be. That’s the counterintuitive message from Scott Galloway, a NYU marketing professor and serial entrepreneur. trib.al/p8YlBly
Scott Galloway says it's actually good to have imposter syndrome: 'If you’re not in rooms you don't deserve to be in, you're not trying that hard' | Fortune
"I fooled them getting into UCLA. I fooled them getting a job at Morgan Stanley. I fooled them getting into graduate school. That's just natural," he said.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.
The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.
Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.
One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

I see a lot of folks saying this will hurt Dems in the midterms and frankly I’m not sure that’s true - if anything, it shows the depth to which people are angry and engaged and wanting to fight these assholes
but it does substantially increase the chance they will be voting for different Democrats
