I'm on day 7 of COVID and testing my ability to exist in the world with a walk around the block. If I make it, maybe I can work. If I don't, at least it's a nice 55° to dramatically sit down in. Wish me...luck?

As a cishet dude, when I see a Dem ditch trans rights, it sends a message: you ain't got no fight in you, no principles, just another empty suit. Think I'm some too-online outlier? Go ask your expensive consultants why people don't bother to vote. It's because they know you're all empty suits.

This! It signals that trans people are up for debate, not a non-negotiable. Dems do it with people with disabilities, Black people...so it shouldn't be a surprise

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Drew this while listening to the Iowa Legislature debate stripping civil rights from trans Iowans — while watching thousands of people pack the statehouse in protest. Our banner will never stop flying. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Pancake brought up a few things with the Iowa Legislature today. Luckily, she got a response. #raygun #iowa #transrights Article: bsky.app/profile/catr...

Iowa will become the first state to strip trans people of their rights. There's not a bright side to this, but the community outcry is a reminder. The people in that building are a minority. They get their marching orders from thinktanks, not from constituents. This is what Iowa is actually like:

Next time any of you fixes to say anything about abandoning "red state assholes" this is the reality of the situation. This is their second stab at this monstrosity. We stopped them once before. They know nobody wants this. They don't care.

A bill stripping civil rights from transgender Iowans is up for vote today and I'm home sick. Just like old times — I’ve got live streams from both chambers of the Iowa Legislature running at the same time while texting half a dozen people updates. Feels like I should be getting paid for this.
