Moments of Joy — Daniel Chooses Love
A couple of weeks ago, Russ and I went to go see the band Travis in concert. Travis is a band I’ve loved since high school. I remember the first time I heard them do a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “River”...

Shout out to @eve6.bsky.social for giving high school aged me an unrequited gay love song - “Jet Pack” - back when I had crushes on all my straight friends. Still love that song (and that perfect album).

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

Hey y'all, remember when @deuxdel.bsky.social, @airy.bsky.social and I created a fun, powerful trans superhero in GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR? And it was the first time a trans character from the Big Two was a title character? And she had a awesome girlfriend?
That was cool.

I will also add that people in Congress are not volunteers. They are being paid. They have health insurance. They have retirement. They have ONE JOB—to serve their constituents. And if they cannot figure out how to push back politically they don't deserve to be in office.

The news sometimes gives you the impression that government is an unstoppable steamroller, but it’s not. The admin is trying a “shock and awe” because they can only win by tricking people into giving up.
I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It IS a real issue, and trans people were not uniformly ‘already hated.’

Keep in mind this is to distract from real issues so they could rally people around the shared cause of hating trans people. If you convince people the minority they already don't like is to blame for all the issues, they don't have to fix those issues, just target an already hated group.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like.
