Ha! I'm an introvert so I want people to read my book but never want to leave my house. Fame sounds exhausting.

Yeah I just wish some of the most visible of us werent the ones that sucked so much.

Maybe with HRC? She was a intern staffer with someone during the Obama era while at Georgetown. I remember that. Possibly a stint at a non profit lobbyist kind of deal. All inside baseball either way.

McBride is Brianna Wu if Wu had skipped the reddit/4chan life.

Same "high on their own brand"... same "pick me! I'll be a good one."

One is toxic and one is wrapped in "respectability centrism" is all.

Honestly, I think she's living in a bubble high on her own brand and truly has no clue the damage her statements do or how much most transfolk wish she had a spine. She too cooked on DC politics from her whole history working there even before she was elected.

Oh there's a trans Pokémon already. 😜 Sylvion gets us.

Easiest way I've found for people to just get it.

The only simpler one was coming out to my kids. Youngest was seven. I said "I'm like a Pokémon, just evolving to a new form." Done. He got it and has been the literal only person to never mess up name or pronouns.

Hell... state law says any single person bathroom has to be gender neutral. My employer is in the top 10 of the state and just ignores this. State doesn't really care.

As was pointed out in the article... half the shit they did goes against state law. Not that RI would do anything to enforce it. State depends on them too much.

Double and...

Don't forget the Brown family of said university.. made all their bank in the colonial era by bankrolling the slave trade.

Ivy League history there. Capitulation to bigots isn't new.

As an ex college radio DJ myself, WBRU was always a little extra cool cause they were the first college radio station ever... for BRown University. They lasted as long as they did cause half the staff was college kids getting school credits right up til the end.

Toad's Place in New Haven is legendary, but two hours away. Not so great when I am up at friggin 4am for work.

Very few things on earth will get me to drive to Boston.

The good shit rarely goes to PVD anymore since WBRU, one of the last indie rock stations, got bought by a church station

That said... Babymetal and Bloodywood together last year was epic.
