- one to send you new music
- one to nod and order margaritas and not ask questions while you vent

Took the 4yo to the library and he found his favourite book that we already have at home, and insisted on borrowing it because that’s how much he loves it

both "do nothing to your body & embrace traditional naturalism" & "view the body as a data collection that must be optimized in service of technology and capital" tend to reactionary views. transsexualizing the body being considered a threat by both tells you something interesting tho

Sections B ii and C ix are horrific, and appear to require AC Transit give ICE unfettered access to facilities and personnel and act as kidnapping collaborators, possibly breaking California law

If you’re reading this snd preparing to ask “would you sacrifice a presidential win for trans rights,” I’ll save you some time: yes the fuck I would.
Fascism in blue is still fascism and we should be clear that an anti-trans candidate is a fascist candidate.

This, exactly. There are plenty of things Newsom is good at . . . witness his spin room performances and his recent mocking mojo. HOWEVER . . . well, everything Will Bunch says.
Yes, I agree with all the liberals jacked right now about Newsom. He is showing other Dems how to fight Trump, which is priceless
But...
...cozying up to AI billionaires, a flop on homelessness, his transgender betrayal, he's still a loser for '28

My 20 year Jury duty blacklist has ended!
Funny story. When I was a young married person, decades ago, I got a jury summons. I was really excited because I wanted to participate in government and I'm extremely nosy.
My husband said No. He told me, you need to tell the court you cant do it.
