Your 42yo Enby Transbian Aunt. Mother of One, and Divorcee. Recovering Optical Engineering PhD. Poly by accident, and that's fine 😁

I feel like Matt Yglesias should not be so easy to recognize here. He's just a bald guy in glasses!

I worry that really rebuilding the workforce is also going to require multiple administrations. One thing that can't be rebuilt in a few years is the trust that their jobs won't be arbitrarily cut the next election cycle.

Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...
Any idea why she's quitting then? Her statement isn't very coherent (big surprise), although it would make more sense as an explanation of just not running for re-election.

Funny enough, I figured out this rule for what I'm interested in listening to years before I figured out I was trans.

Otherwise that white men aura can carry the blandest music you have ever heard to the top of the charts. I don't have the energy to sift through that. As a trans woman, the concentrated energy of white dude is everything I don't want in my life.

What makes a banana republic a banana republic is not any prosecution of the outgoing administration, but baseless, politically motivated prosecution. There is a whole literature which teaches that, if crimes against the public order occurred, failing to prosecute them hastens democratic decline.

Are the stories misrepresenting the truth? Often. But some are also just their own picked cherries. FBI agents fired for kneeling with BLM years ago. A particular individual in a group they hate committing a heinous crime, justifying their hate of that group. Some minor liberal being hypocritical.

Pretty easy to write 3 books in a week when Time is Fake
