...her policy preference is that she wants my transgender ass not to exist, my guy. I don't have to give her credit for shit and I certainly don't have to want to work with her when she wants me to *not exist*. These are not arguments over how to fund universal healthcare.
And if you refuse to give someone credit for standing for liberal democracy just because they don’t agree with your policy preferences, you’re missing the big picture. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-marjor...

something very important for Dems to realize is that the tech overlords are not people you can win back by promising a lighter touch and saying a few nice things

they’ve gotten a taste of mask-off fascism and they are not going back, they don’t want to play nice with the peons anymore
There’s a funny Politico story showing that the latest polling on AI shows 80-20 in favor of heavy regulations, an absolute slam dunk platform, but Dems are worried about not winning back mask-off tech CEO donors

SCOTUS tells Trump no on deployment of Illinois Nat’l Guard, finding a valid exception to the Posse Comitatus Act doesn’t exist. Huge loss for the Trump Administration. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

We already knew that, of course, but this is basically an admission, and we should remember this in the case we are ever able to impeach the motherfucker.

A creator posts a viral video, generating 20 million minutes of views and $200,000 for the platform. They pay the guy $1,300 and keep the rest. But instead of calling the corporation greedy, they call the creator privileged.

So I am going to say something about romance as a genre.

A lot of people think that romance is ignorable because <insert thing they think about romance> and romance authors don't count because <insert thing they think about romance>.

This thread is not about whether you have to like romance.

If you have federal student loans, it’s REALLY easy to get out of default - you can consolidate out (easiest but you can only do this once) or rehab out (need to make 9 payments in 10 months). Go here to see your options

I went and picked him up from the rescue. He is very very sweet, zero spice in him at all. Found rurally, took himself up to a house and screamed for help.

He's had a bath, and is currently purring under my chin.

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know:

you are loved

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

And here's Scorsese's storyboards for the final massacre in Taxi Driver

This applies more generally: people seem to think you need to have a background as a Big Two artist in order to do storyboards, but that's not what they're about - they're visual writing. You're writing for yourself AND others
