One more word about the fines thing.

When my aunt was seven - SEVEN!!! - she lost a library book. She told the librarian who yelled at her until she cried and her son, a classmate of my aunt's, told her she would go to jail. She was terrified.

Then the fines came and her mom paid them...

Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction

In undergrad, I volunteered to work a film festival and ended up as serving staff for Ian McKellen one night. I brought him crab cakes, he asked to get them warmed up.

Somewhere there's a very awkward picture of us together about 9 years pre-E
Please Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction

Ran face-to-face into Frankie Munoz boarding the plane home from my FFS. I saw a minor celeb. He saw a woman who looked like she'd lost a fight with a lawnmower. Neither of us knew what to do. We just stared at each other for a bit.

Literally ran into Hillary Clinton as we we both sprinting in opposite directions and almost knocked her over. Many thanks to Madam Secretary for not having her security beat me senseless

I have done some truly excellent librarianing today. If anyone needs me, I'll be under as many cats and blankets as I can find.

I still don't get why people pay attention to literary awards. The Nobel Prize for Literature. The Pulitzer Prize for fiction. The Man Booker Prize. Not one of these have ever honored a book with an illustrated cutaway that tells you what all the parts of a castle are.

Regarding The Essay:

If you have not yet figured out in Dec. 2025 that an appeal to a strict and fair adherence to the First Amendment is a rigged game, I would like to inspect your wallet for just a moment.

The Essay was a trap designed to do just this - fail and then gin up far-right grifting 1/

My wokest opinion is that everyone should get a free name and gender change if they want it. Make it a bat mitzvah type thing. When you feel ready, you announce to the world your true name and gender. Everyone throws a big party and gives you $. Whether you’re making a change or not!
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

It's come to my attention that this is the second time I've gone as a Vulcan. Exactly 10 years apart. Estrogen is neat.

Fun fact, my makeup for Rocky Horror this year was an attempt at redoing the makeup I wore "as a joke" to Rocky in 2018. I've somehow gotten worse at eye shadow?
For any guys dressing up as women this Halloween “as a joke”, we’ll be here for you when you’re ready.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

It does feel like I only post on here when it's a timeline. But it's important to share the changes, not just physically but everything else too. It's hard to even say I'm the same person from before I felt comfortable enough to come out, but I get to be me because of the people who went before me.

"Democrats want transgender operations for everybody" is something the president says frequently and that no mainstream media source (to my knowledge) really highlights or presses him on even though it's batshit.
Trump cancels his meeting with Democrats ahead of a potential government shutdown.

It's not *me* who made my very existence in the world a matter of political controversy. They're the ones who don't want me to exist or to suffocate in the closet. No matter how empathetic I try to be, I can't put myself in the shoes of someone who is so needlessly cruel to harmless people. Why?

It’s actually super annoying that my purpose in life is to be joyful, raise kids in a gay ass household, and do live art but now I’m forced to care about geopolitics because of like 5 fucking white men in a group chat. I should not have to care about men who don’t wear heels.
