I'm a non-presenting trans woman wandering on the net; I'm part of the SF, Comic, Fantasy, Role-Playing & Furry fandoms, and mostly I want to make people happy. FYI, I'm 60. :P I block and report bots and trolls on sight. And sometimes go a-huntin.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Trump has pushed GOP-led states to redraw maps and add more Republican seats—tilting Congress away from the country we actually are. America is more balanced than that & our representation must respect that

Prop 50 is how Californians can defend a fair, representative democracy. Vote #YesOnProp50
Stylized poster promoting Proposition 50 in California. The top reads “Vote YES on Prop 50” in bold, capitalized letters. Below, a bear-shaped illustration contains iconic California imagery: the Golden Gate Bridge, mountains, ocean waves, palm trees, and a sunset. Beneath the bear, “CALIFORNIA” is written in large, bold letters. The bottom features a scenic landscape with orange poppies, rolling hills, and a river—symbolizing California’s natural beauty.

This is terrific. A great profile of Great Lakes shipping (and mandatory reminiscence on the Edmund Fitzgerald) featuring my all time favorite freighter, one I’ve seen dozens of times, the still hardworking “antique” steamship Wilfred Sykes. Gift article.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Takeaways after fab 2 days hosting at Everything Electric:

- vehicle-to-grid charging might FINALLY be here

- sodium-ion batteries are advancing quickly and could be made in the UK with local materials, reducing reliance on China for lithium.

- People want this. This was our biggest UK show yet🎉

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

Real. One of THE most freeing bits of writing advice I ever got was, "you should be unafraid to alienate some people from your work. Trying to please everyone makes for boring storytelling, and that's worse than poorly-executed storytelling.

No, you god forsaken subliterate.

*my* audience can understand me. And I do not have respect for anyone who thinks the way you do. I am not in favor of dumbing down to appease the incapable, the lazy and the willfully ignorant. Learn to read or get out of my face

Because I'll never forgive Netflix for cancelling the series, go and watch the documentary on the original film. The work that went into it is *incredible* and deserving of respect.

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent

Purge, Merge, and Surge
Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state

can sort of feed into a loop, and reinforce that negativity. Not saying you're doing that, just something to consider. Never wise to beat one's self up. :)
