Are you seeing ICE recruitment commercials during #AEWDynamite or Collision?

In AEW, we say ABOLISH ICE, ABOLISH FASCISM.

Tell the networks to SAY NO TO ICE during AEW!

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

Paul McCartne, Elton John and others signed an open letter.

So SCOTUS apparently is going to say a state can ban care that is recommended by every major medical organization (gender-affirming care), but can't ban care that is condemned by every major medical organization (conversion therapy).

They're legally mandating/protecting medical malpractice.

With Daisy, we have #Rapunzel. A wealthy blonde trapped in high place, only to escape with the help of a beautifully roguish young man who's willing to fight the entire world for her. And yes, he will break her out of any tower she gets stuck in.

Lily, meanwhile, has the #LittleMermaid as her motif. She needs to tell her love interest, Cris, that she loves him but can't say it due to self-loathing and dysphoria. She needs to use BODY LANGUAGE and slowly find her voice so she can become part of his world

1 other thing about the BG books is that each Flower Girl has a specific #fairytale motif! Rose aka Briar Rose is of course #SleepingBeauty, which is played with by having her forced back into the closet by her mother and 'woken up' by her one true love, Kyle

glad you approve! And since she's so used to the cold, she's constantly wearing sundresses (even when it's snowing out lol). Tho her love interest Adam would probably just say her natural warmth is that powerful ❤️

And now book 3 gives us Daisy, who, despite hailing from cold as heck #Minnesota and being a former hockey star, is easily the brightest, lightest, sunniest of the flower girls.

Book 2 gives us Lily. It's something of a meme amongst #transwomen how many of us are named Lily, and I decided to name the character as such because part of her arc is learning to accept that her NLOG ass is in fact exactly like the other girls

Book 1 gives us Rose, named for her red hair, as well as Briar Rose aka #SleepingBeauty. I think this one is pretty self explanatory.

#booksky For those unaware, each FMC of the Beginner's Guide saga has a flower name, mostly because I think it's cute and lends to girly vibes of the whole thing, and also because flower names are VERY common amongst #trans girls
