another data point of a Dem MORE popular on trans issues than they are in the abstract. As with abortion, the theory of a socially conservative electorate before whom libs must cringe is simply not borne out in general.

5. The CNU poll shows Spanberger with a commanding +10 lead in the governor’s race. When asked which candidate would better handle transgender issues, voters sided with Spanberger over Earle-Sears by a 50–37 margin, giving Spanberger a whopping +13 advantage.

"Patiently tabulating hundreds of minor edits that 'just change the style of the copy a little bit' until they create a Ship of Theseus situation and then miraculously figuring out how to make all the language legally compliant in the end."

What skills would you add to your cv if you were honest?
I'd add:
Wrestling care out of a reluctant health system,
(Special areas of interest: mental health, trans healthcare, chronic illness)
Shameless dungarees wearing
Worrying
Weird fact gathering

Once I left the company I worked for when I graduated college, every job, project, & opportunity I've had in some way came from social media.

Every dollar I've earned since 2013 only existed to be made due to my social media in one way or another.

(very little of that was actual social media WORK)

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

I meant that, as a continuity nerd, until DC re-established their hypertime approach to continuity from 2018-2023 it was hard to care about any Pre-Flashpoint material outside of the major established storylines of the big JLers, as it was unclear if any of it still existed.

Now it is more defined.

krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!) @krisis.bsky.social · 2d

There was no reason to care about pre-Flashpoint comics up until like 4yrs ago! 😆

Also, Simone 🤷‍♀️

Everyone is saying "glaze" everywhere now.

I like it better than rizz.

There is *literally* only one side inciting & escalating political violence & almost all NZ msm are claiming it's the other way around

This is the fascist turn happening in real time. Sorry to break it to you - a bunch of propagandists & decision makers across media & business have chosen sides

Look at this bullshit from NZ First and the kind of comments it incites!

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

Do they make pills to protect CEOs from brain rot?

It seems to be endemic (both publicly and in my personal experience).

I don't do DC omnis outside of Wonder Woman, WildStorm, and (sigh) Sandman Universe (scandal noted). Anything else I just keep my fingers crossed it hits DC Finest at some point or read it on DCUI.

Gotta draw the line somewhere!

(My little burst in omni buying was completing those lines!)

krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!) @krisis.bsky.social · 3d

the funny thing is, I truly am out of omnibuses to buy at this point 😂, I finally just picked up all the Wonder Woman books after years of abstaining

given my historical terror of doing ANY PHYSICAL THING that risks my ability to type and play guitar I think I am handling this quite well

just lightly nudged on my bike by a rather large bus 😂

all of my bits seem to be intact at the moment

Surely I can buy a new omnibus as a little treat if I got a little bit hit by a bus?

It's right there in the name!

Wow.

The first bit is deliciously 🔥, but PLEASE listen to Dr. Jane Goodall's words until the end of this clip.

Yashar Ali 🐘 @yasharali.bsky.social · 3d

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

Happy birthday to you, my first online Kiwi friend! Very thankful for you sharing your misadventures with your extended family and various doggos. I hope you have a truly wonderful day.

Literally even as I was flying off the bike my thoughts were "O NO NOT THE BIKE" 😂

(seems okay tomorrow but I need to take a fresh look at it later)

krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!) @krisis.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you! I think mostly just light bruises? Really thankful for my whole kit of pads at the moment.

krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!) @krisis.bsky.social · 3d

very very thankful for the amount of money I spent on gloves and pads and how I ignored the person at the bike store who asked, "you're buying all that just for road riding?"

krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!) @krisis.bsky.social · 3d

ha, my first thought once I was able to stand up was, "ugh, this bike was so expensive and it's only two months old, I hope it's okay" 😂

(looks alright, but I have to check the wheels a bit more closely)

krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!) @krisis.bsky.social · 3d

Today in biking milestones: first time knocked off my bike by a bus.

I was in full pads and I'm upright at the moment, but not really an ideal milestone for a person who will not risk ANY physical activity that might interfere with guitar playing.

We'll see about what it means for the triathlon 🤷‍♀️
