I'm in LA right now and had a chance to see some of the damage. Experts estimate the cost at $150B.

$150 BILLION

Only thing crazier than that massive price tag is the fact that it can be paid for in full by at least 3 USA billionaires, & its only 1.5% of the net worth of USA's 800 billionaires.

When billionaires take control of vital communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

And when those billionaires justify their business motives by citing “freedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Don't be fooled.

This policy change makes sense when you remember that Project 2025 architect, Dustin Carmack, is in charge of policy at Meta. When I uncovered this, he deactivated his LinkedIn.

Project 2025 wants to classify trans people as pornographic and ban us from public.

Today, someone read out my name as Elsie G’Moore, skipping over the fact that the G is a middle initial entirely. I can honestly say in the history of mispronunciations of my name, that has never happened before. Amazing.

Out of curiosity, how do you guys respond to someone’s toxic positivity given the current news cycle? Not necessarily pro-Traitor-elect, but a full “Stay positive!” when you discuss your fears about the next four years. Ignore it? Tell them to fuck off?

I’m reading A Restless Truth by Freya Marske. Fantastic sapphic follow-up to A Marvellous Light. A little magic, a little steamy romance, and beautiful prose make for a sumptuous read!

Bills for the 2025 session just dropped in several states, and y'all, it's bad. I'll be reporting on all of them soon but:
- Adult bathroom bans
- Drag bans with bounty provisions
- Removal of gender identity from nondiscrimination protections
and more.

Physical. I like how the pages feel, the smell and weight of books. They get banged up and well loved in my house 📚
