Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

However, today over 500,000 people in Budapest told the government to fuck off. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

I liked Succession a lot but the thing I like most about it is the advent of the name Tom Wambsgans. I love saying that out loud. I must look absolutely nuts when I'm staring into my fridge, trying to decide if I want a snack or not then I whisper "Tom Wambsgans" and pull out the spreadable cheese.

It’s beautiful in DC right now. Peak bloom from the cherry blossoms and petals drift by wherever you walk, blown in from some distant or nearby tree.
When I first transitioned, they were blooming, years ago.
On this Transgender Day of Visibility, I am yearning for our own spring to return.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
