If the UK is not going to allow trans women to use the women's toilets, they need to make specific toilets for trans women. It's not ideal, but to make them use the mens' toilets is fucking bullshit. (Same for trans men.) Go ahead. Make four different toilets, you fucks.

Sometimes I think that if the world had been run by women these last thousands of years, it would be a better place, but then I see what women are doing and think, no it fucking wouldn't. Just don't do this. Great sadness my ass. Passive aggressive bullshit.

Today I felt lucky to be outside the US. A friend in California with a serious medical condition got bumped off their healthcare plan because their income went down. Now they don't know whether they'll get back to their medical team and the risks for them are so bad. 1/

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

When Chills was little, T gave him a green bean to play with. Every time we buy fresh green beans we give him one or more and he plays with them like crazy. Today he hissed at one during his play and Tim told me: I'm not certain, but I think it's kind of like, "I'm gonna fuck you up, bean." lololol

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.
The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

I'm prepping to do something so hard right now. I have to basically rewrite the second half of my book. I hope a lot of what's there already will still work, but it's not guaranteed.

Hey, writers/ readers of fantasy. A venerable lady author I know has written a short story she says is Icelandic fantasy. She's looking for a suitable place to submit it. She was my teacher in grad school, has written several novels, many short stories, but the magazines she used to are not there. >
