I am now a Fandom Hag. I found fandom at the age of 12 (also my 1st lesbian friend came out). Some of the 1st people I encountered were various options of genderqueer. Then I got into HP fandom, & 1 of the first things they started playing with was magic and gender, because magic meant they could!

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” -Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr. And it’s on every cis person in this country to fiercely have trans people’s backs in every macro and micro way, now and always. In the bathroom & in the streets. When they’re present or not. Everywhere.

I’m saying it now with hopes that it sinks in: Donald Trump cannot take any oath of office until he is granted amnesty for breaking the last one he swore. That’s just straight up in the Constitution. 2/3 of each House. That’s the bar.

"Don't Engage, Just Block" is having a real effect and you can tell it's frustrating the bots, chuds and trolls. They're in my comments trying everything they can to get people there to react -- and no one's biting. And then I swing by and chuck 'em into the cornfield and that's that.

okay, we're starting with this Step 1. call your own rep if you haven't already! Step 2. sign this (cis women only please! cis guys, you can help by boosting) Step 3. much depends on the success and reach of step 2; lots of options if this blows up actionnetwork.org/petitions/no...

Yes this - the more the focus is solely on Sarah McBride, the more this gets cemented as an individual issue instead of the systemic bigotry it is. It’s not just about heroics. It’s about the shape of the world they want to force people to live in.

in 1999, rep. nancy mace was the first woman graduate of the citadel military college. she understands acutely what it’s like to break a barrier. for her to do this to incoming rep. sarah mcbride, the first trans member of congress, is particularly vile.

Any jackass can do a fight scene. What made Jackie Chan fight scenes so good is the director going "ok but what if your character is holding a baby?" Or "ok but what if you are both terrified of breaking any of your grandma's fine dishes in this living room?"

It is so discouraging to see that the media hasn't learned a single thing over the past decade. They normalize the absolutely insane things Trump and his surrogates do and treat them as legitimate.

If this is your rep 🗣️ call their office! hr 9495 would allow trump to categorize nonprofits as "terrorist organizations" at will and mess with their funding. your calls make a big difference. really. 1 call is worth more than 100 post

this reminds me of those 12 people who were responsible for thousands of book ban requests and it's a good reminder there aren't actually that many malicious actors in the world, just lots of systems unprepared for exploitation

A new drug described as “the closest we have ever been to an HIV vaccine” could be sold for $40 a year and still make 30% profit, but is currently being sold by pharma companies for $42,250. Absolutely criminal.

Again this is about power. How power is used. The right uses power to punish. Midwest Dems use even the narrowest majority to enact wins. None of the Aaron Sorkin West Wing unity, good Republicans, punch left bullshit. Wield power to get results. It improves lives and makes people like you.

"Democrats are losing ground with young voters" well maybe it would help with young voters if every high ranking Dem leader and "tactician" running the party wasn't an ancient lich who cannot be exposed to sunlight in case they crumble to dust

I'm just saying, this whole Crowdstrike thing is why I am still a great believer in "No deployment on Fridays". Followed by "If you must, make double-triple-quadruple sure it works."

people will say they're drinking bird flu milk on purpose "to strengthen the immune system" but won't get a vaccine to strengthen the immune system when that is LITERALLY THE SAME THING EXCEPT NOT GONNA KILL YOU
