Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

So this is essentially giving immigration officials the right to trap any visa applicants who they think "look trans" in bureaucracy hell.

I'm really proud of this essay. I love this movie and I think it still has some things to teach us right now in the midst of some really hard times for trans folks. Thanks for reading! #filmsky #movieaky #lgbtq #trans

I have a pile of things I need to watch and write about, but two nights of very sketchy sleep has me feeling pretty incoherent today, so I think maybe a nap instead.

Partner is cooking of some garlic naan and honestly, y'all, I don't need a single other thing to eat. (I also made some chicken thighs with honey, lemon, garlic, & paprika and cobbled together a kind of tzatki sauce. But I could eat just the bread.)

Okay that's a wrap for S1 of THE HANDMAID'S TALE. I remember it falling off a bit after S2, but gosh, that's one hell of an adaptation. Now to take all of these swirling thoughts and emotions and try to turn them into something coherent. (Recaps will be weekly until the April 8 premiere.)

Okay, last two episodes of S1 of THE HANDMAID'S TALE. I think if I can get through the first two seasons, I'll be okay. But S1 has been HARD to rewatch. Stuff that still felt a ways off in 2017 feels very close right now.

We're playing FRIGHTENING FISHES this morning at church and I realized that I have been hearing where the one is on the song wrong for three years. My 50 year old brain is really struggling with this. youtu.be/gIR3ct774B8?...

Absolutely this. And sometimes I start at the end because I know more how I want to wrap things up, and by doing that, I can find that starting point as well.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

It is time for our first performance award (and we're doing it a little differently). When it comes to supporting roles, these 6 actors did their due diligence and maybe even stole the show a little. Here are our nominees for BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR.

Has anyone who has gone through menopause had an abrupt change in smell/taste? I have loved onions for as long as I can remember and now they taste really different to me. I've been sans period for almost 2 years, so it seems like a weird time for that to change, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ #menopause
