Misophonia win!

State Rep Brian Lohse is the second Iowa House Republican to say publicly he won't support a wide-ranging transgender discrimination bill. In a Facebook post today, he cited equal protection and civil rights problems as well as unintended consequences. www.facebook.com/BrianLohse4I...

It was a low-stress group, they didn’t argue much or antagonize each other for fun, and were fairly restful to be around, as long as they didn’t try to talk or interact with me in any way.

'It would be better if they could think of you as a person who is trying to help. Because that’s how I think of you.' My insides melted. That’s the only way I could describe it.

Re-upping this: beware of disinformation accounts.

The Iowa Down Ballot podcast is back! This is a group project of the Iowa Writers' Collaborative, with Dave Price hosting and a rotating cast. New episode dropped this morning, and there's a transcript if you would rather read than listen. iowawriters.substack.com/p/22125-iowa...

If you see this, post a fungus #Fungifriends 🍄

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I killed my Patreon, moved it to a membership system for my online store (pepperraccoon.com), and instead of losing my patrons, everyone came over. I’ve replicated, if not exceeded, the patronage from Patreon, with fewer fees and restrictions. In one month.

And here it is, my Joker moment. I am insane now.

A five-alarm fire for LGBTQ Iowans: Iowa House Judiciary Committee chair Steven Holt introduced a bill today w/many discriminatory provisions including removing gender identity from Iowa's civil rights act. www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/... (my post in progress but won't be done tonight)

Trump's lawyers are absolutely flailing in the courts right now

Was just sitting in my loaner Jeep at one of the Sax-Zim feeding stations when this character stopped by for a peanut butter snack. It’s a pine marten! Feb 19, 2019

They never funded the trust Iowans voted for and now they want to end it. Politicians... www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

It's reassuring to see how excited Wells is for this show, knowing she's seen some BTS. I'm terrified they're going to fuck it up.

There’s unrealistic that takes you away from reality and unrealistic that reminds you that everybody’s afraid of you.

Why would anyone follow "her" back? (Blocked, btw.)

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

I don’t know what I was going to tell them, but it was going to involve the words “I can’t do my job if none of you fucking listen to me”

If you’re happy and you know it, stay in bed If you’re happy and you know it, stay in bed If you’re happy and you know it, getting up will surely blow it If you’re happy and you know it, stay in bed

Please tell people. Please share. Folks don’t know, even those who would care to know.

Gurathin said, “I can’t tell if that’s you being passive aggressive or you being willfully obtuse.” I would be more pissed off about him saying that except a) he was right about the passive aggressive thing
