I once worked a 3rd shift by myself because the dude who was supposed to be serving passed out from a coke binge.
A drunk girl and her drunk friends came in during the bar rush, and besides being cool as shit, she popped her tits out on the high bar so I'd make her hash browns with extra love.

once again, thinking about this. I do not know how much more collective grief and fear and death you need to see from us before it moves you to action. call your reps. okay, you don't wanna call for xyz reasons; understand that your next moves will be less effective but still, MAKE THEM.
if you're a U.S. voter and you claim to want more for trans folks than just visibility, you can dedicate 2 to 8 minutes to us a week.

This this this. And if you, the public, cease to care, why should the President?
NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader.
So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

i spent a lot of time talking to people who disagree with me. after having a certain number of guns and knives pulled on me and having a couple bones broken I decided conservatives aren't worth the trouble.
CNN has a show with a similar line. That the problem with this country is we just aren’t talking to each other.
It’s the kind of diagnosis that a toddler would land on.
