Finished @rfkuang.bsky.social 's The Burning God last night and am feeling that emptiness when a good series ends. I was surprised by the ending, but it also fit. Looking forward to more from the author.

I'm holding two feelings at once here. Support for the first transgender member of congress getting there and being ready to work on issues that matter to all Americans, and complete support for the anger that many (less privileged) trans folks are feeling at her decision not to fight this.
Friends, we do not have time for lateral violence. There is an emergency facing trans people and we need each other.
I know Sarah McBride. Sarah my friend. I see in her a powerful voice in the most hostile circumstances imaginable, a Republican trifecta led by an authoritarian madman...

I keep thinking about those congresspeople kneeling in the rotunda wearing kente cloth scarves, very performative. There has been no loud, visible, unified support for Sarah McBride from the democrats. It’s a real disgrace. That is your colleague! They are bullying her in your faces. And silence!

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

It's trans day of remembrance where we remember all of our siblings we've lost this year to violence and hate. We know we've lost at least 350 trans and nonbinary people have been murdered in the last year.

We honor the dead and fight like hell for the living.

I am finding it quite unbearable to watch Sarah McBride bear the grotesque attack of her colleagues with so much grace. I know it is what we have been taught to expect of trailblazers, but I am increasingly struggling to accept this.

New book time! Just received North Continent Ribbon (by @yarntheory.bsky.social) by mail and am excited to begin reading. It's always nice to have cool friends.

Another day, another cross stitch. This one is A Miniature Sleigh and a Jackalope by Lola Crow Designs from her Cryptid Christmas series.
