I know things are bleak and scary right now. But I promise you that you - yes YOU - can get through this. You don't have to fight all of this on your own. Find one person you can help, and help them. Make the life of one person better every day. Hold onto your joy. That's how we win.

I fucked up someone’s pronouns yesterday (no excuse, I fucked up) and a poster kindly reminded me of the correct ones. Listen. You can correct me on that anytime. Correct me on my birthday. Correct me on my deathbed. Because despite what terrible people say, your identity MATTERS.

1. Despite Republican attacks in recent years, America is queerer than ever before. LGBTQ+ identification has risen to 9.3% in the last Gallup Poll, a huge jump from 7.6% last year. I cover the latest numbers in my story. Subscribe to support my journalism.

They're dismantling the agency that can, if it did robust enforcement, fill the deficit. For every $1 it spends on enforcement it generates $5-$9 in revenue. We lose ~1 trillion dollars each year to tax fraud, mostly from the rich. Musk paid no income tax in 2021 www.propublica.org/article/the-...

My son is interning in DC for 3mths with our Congressional Rep, answering phones most days. He says calls are still coming, but it's tapered. Please, call your reps. The volume of voter comment matters. Immigrants at Gitmo & stripping lawyers from unaccompanied immigrant children are wrong.

Hey folks outside the US: I know folks around the globe are (very rightfully) livid and scared about the US political situation. But many (possibly the majority) of us in the US are too right now! Something to consider before you jump into our mentions to tell us our suffering is our own fault.

Public comment genuinely matters. Courts will overturn rules based on an administration not responding to substantive comments.

Ornithological societies partnered years ago to build affinity “flocks” to support members of diverse identities (race, ethnicity, disability, career stage, etc.), based in part on the 2SLGBTQIA+ affinity group I currently lead. The NSF funding is no longer an option so they’re crowd-sourcing:

This is absolutely a dangling plot thread. Everything Stede does is what makes Ed happy. He saw how Ed reacted when he was told Stede went back to Mary. How could he share more of what happened knowing how much it upsets him? Stede has never talked about the stuff that happens to him - he bottles.

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support

This this this is what I’m always saying to anybody who’ll listen: the seeds of our undoing as a country are sown into its very creation. The idea of “individualism” is a malignancy. It only exists for those with enough power to enforce their own rights by dominating others.

Looks like Elon Musk needs that yearly reminder that The Matrix is a trans allegory written by two closeted trans women. “You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”
