Play time is important.
Good to know, but I hate the entire controversy over trans women in sports because it treats the possibility that we might often as a problem.
Another Study Confirms Trans Women Have No Advantage in Sports. I Hope We Can Move Beyond Conversations About "Fairness"

Late #Cretaceous Winton Formation, #Australia. A huge Australotitan cooperensis ploughs ahead, paying no heed to bothersome #pterosaurs (Ferrodraco lentoni) or a puny Australovenator wintonensis. A group of Diamantinasaurus matildae observe the commotion from a distance. #dinosaur #paleoart #sciart

NYT, WaPo, The Atlantic, all these -trusted- media names now existing to gaslight us. To tell us we're not seeing what we're seeing. Because they've long been captured by the bigots and billionaires.

Let's keep this going for today--a day without a Super Bowl--too. Get rad horror books, support folks needing rental assistance during the ICE occupation!
Today, all Cursed Morsels store proceeds that would normally go to me will instead go to rent relief for 16 St. Paul families affected by ICE detention and occupation.
Check out our store if you love weird horror and supporting neighbors during times of fascist terror: www.cursedmorselspress.com
