When you feel like you might really be a real playwright because one of the biggest theaters in Chicago sent you request to submit an excerpt for their emerging directors program...on the same day you knocked out another 10-page script.

10 pages of robot-related family drama in the bag and stamped it with such a dumb, punny title.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Today I got a text from the Congressional Black Caucus PAC concerned about MSNBC’s ratings being down. Yeah, sorry, that’s not high on my list of concerns right now.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Yeah, sure, just like all those votes Puerto Rico and Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands and D.C. get. New York Times forever on its bullshit.

I wrote an 8-page musical inspired by protest folk and it's going to be performed by actual humans in two weeks (both in-person and over the Internet). If that sounds like your jam, I'd sure love it if friends checked it out.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

I had the great privilege of serving in the EIS Class of 2015, responding to dozens of disease outbreaks and novel health threats. The program is a crowned jewel of U.S. public health and a model for other countries. Cutting this program does not, in any way, make our country healthier.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

Yeah. I love my SSRI. It lifted a cloud in me that I had thought was impenetrable. This some serious bullshit and needs all the resistance. This will hurt so many people.

This is so dystopian. Note that there is a spot near the bottom of the page where you can leave feedback on whether the page was helpful and you can definitely sound of on how the lack of any mention of trans people with regards to Stonewall is not at all useful.

Finished my first embroidery project (pattern from @badasscrossstitch.bsky.social). This was fun. I got used to the stitches as I went along, listened to them and let them boss me around. As someone who can have a perfectionism problem, it was good for me to let things be a little imperfect.

Popular or not Dems cannot bend on the need for trans people to be treated with basic humanity and respect. If we give up that because the right made trans people unpopular, we give up everything. They’ll dice us group by group like a salami. We die on this hill or we die alone in a ditch
