If I don't know you I'm probably going to block you. I like liberal politics, board games, D&D, scooters, ska, St. Louis City, and delicious food. I'm mainly here to follow friends I already know. I have no time for bigots of any stripe.

When I was a kid there were only two sexes and you couldn't change them. There were also only two Kingdoms of life. And dinosaurs didn't have feathers. Basically we were wrong about a whole lot of shit.

TIL that Istanbul (not Constantinople) was not an original song by TMBG but actually a cover of a 1953 song by The Four Lads. I learned this when my 84 y/o father started singing it after Istanbul was mentioned on TV. youtu.be/Wcze7EGorOk?...

He offered some general platitudes about what Democrats need to do but nothing about what HE is doing. He kept coming back to "we need to take back the House" but that's a 2-year plan and I don't know what will even be left in two years. AOC isn't waiting two years and y'all have the same job

I boycott the NYT already in for sane-washing Trump so I didn't see they decided to edit their own story from "trans man" to "person".
