Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
The government can legally scoop up and read Americans' emails and texts, track everywhere they go, and feed huge amounts of data into AI without court oversight. Next month, Congress will have a chance to rein it all in. I'm leading a bipartisan bill to restore real privacy.
Whats worse... even with all of this, it's nowhere near as good as it could have been if I had access to care when I was young.
I knew who I was back then. So many of us do.
They deserve the chance I never got to have.
Release the hell out of it. We need good things right now more than ever. And if you need to, schedule out all the posts and stay off social media while you do it
It’s little, but helps me a lot. Laying on the floor with my feet on a chair, legs all 90 degree angles, for ten minutes or so. Also standing on a step on just my toes and the balls of my feet and letting gravity pull me straighter for a few minutes. But make sure you have something to hold!
Trans people are trying to build a world where this would be up to the individual and society accepts that. We do not live in that world now. 99% of the pressure on trans people right now is to stop being trans
The fact that we still exist under these conditions is evidence enough of our existence
if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately
I want this convo:
Republican: “Why are yall always annoyingly putting everything to votes you will lose? It’s annoying.”
Dem: “Because I want you on the record for the trial, mfer.”
Totally get it. Starting a new project and I just 180 flipped from a dark dark academia to a sports romance this morning.
The only acceptable dem platform is "we will do what we failed to do in both Reconstruction and Denazification, brutally punishing everyone responsible and draining the billionaires into destitution to fund the 50 year program of fixing what they destroyed", and dem leadership is incapable of this.
came on here to post about how i'll be at impossible moon in hapeville at 4pm today. then i saw the news.
please drop by impossible moon to celebrate the opening of a Black woman-owned bookstore in the ATL area.
hello cis people could you please give a shit
Hey yall this is your chance to show the trans community you really are an ally and you're not just saying it for brownie points!!
-Do not support ANY of this
-JK Rowling has said on numerous occasions that her income goes DIRECTLY into anti-trans legislation in the UK
-Seriously. NONE. Of it.
democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly
Ok, Ilia. Crying like a baby wasn’t in the plans for today, but fine.
A leader who is willing to cast away the most vulnerable groups as a concession is willing to do so for any group if it means they can attain power. The Trans community is the Canary in the Coal Mine warning us that Newsom will not address our current horrors if he is willing to sacrifice them.
That men’s free was just… painful to watch. I’m so happy for the winners, but I can’t imagine winning like that feels like it should
I doubt it’s how he wanted it either
Literally just had to explain it to my aunt last night because she had never heard anything and she’s lovely and supportive of me, a trans person
Blue dinosaur stuffed toy laying on its nose in the middle of a cat play matt.
Not sure what this arrangement is telling me about my cat’s brain, but fairly certain it’s something interesting.
So I’ve had some kind of stomach bug for the past few days, and I’ve reached the level of tired where I’m watching figure skating training. Low stakes skating in circles is about all I can handle, it seems
As February is the month for love, because you know, Valentine’s Day and all, all my contemporary #mmromance and #mmfromance books are on #sale for 0,99 each. If anyone feels like grabbing one, you are so welcome.
This includes the whole Love in L'Ancorsa series:

The summer Olympics are “people doing extreme things with their bodies likely to result in chronic pain.”
The Winter Olympics are that raised to the power of “can also be deadly!”
It’s not heroic to work when sick or race or play when injured. It’s damaging and dangerous and those that encourage or force it are doing their people an awful disservice (and ultimately harming their own and everyone’s interests too).
I do so miss having a downstairs neighbor who paid both of our heating bills…
Exactly! So, though it totally sucks for last nights thoughts to be disappeared, it probably wasn’t your next bestseller :)
I mean, I don’t know if it helps, but when I actually read my notes or listen to my ramblings, they’re usually not nearly as good as I thought in the moment
That’s the worst! I send myself voice memos sometimes, or jot it down in notes, because it’s happened too many times
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
