If A equals B and B equals C
Then C equals A, obviously
The transitive property of equality
If one is in chains then nobody's free
And this is a story about you and me
What letter comes next after LG and B?
The fact is you cannot simply delete T
Without erasing the whole of our history

Obergefell v. Hodges made me believe in the whole "arc of history bends towards justice." In the 90s, I didn't think gay marriage would be legalized in my lifetime because homophobia was so deeply ingrained. We would have never gotten here without the decision and now it may be overturned.

Absolutely my favorite book
This year, "The Great Gatsby" turns 100.
On "The Daily," our book critic tells the story of how an overlooked book by a 28-year-old author eventually became the great American novel, and explores why we still see ourselves in its pages.

the core idea that can radicalize people is so simple:
there is enough.
there is enough food to feed everyone. enough resources to house everyone. money and technology and medicine to stop the suffering of people around the globe.
once you accept that there's only one question:
why don't we?

To spell it out, the reason I hate democrats so much and criticize them more than I do republicans is because they take up all the space for opposition to republicans and use that space to give republicans whatever the fuck they want.

This sums up how a lot of us feel. I’m Gen X so I was crazy for the computer, for what it could do. I worked as a computer journalist a few times. I love games and tech and all that stuff.
Where we are now isn’t that. This is the worst kids in the world being allowed to be their very worst selves.

If you want to know why I drip with disgust about these companies it’s because I love technology and I hate them for what they’ve done to the computer. It has never been perfect, but four or five companies decided that it had to be this bad, and they should be treated like war criminals for it.

On the one hand, apparently I'm not allowed to pee anywhere when I'm out and about.
On the other, impending nuclear annihilation.
From the sublime to the fucking ridiculous. What's the point of anything any more?

There is a new day dawning
Over this world of woes
And I arise to meet it
A discordant caw of crows
A whirlwind and a torrent
Before softer breezes blow
A countenance of clouds
Devouring my glow
Indignant and resigned
Disaster well composed
Fury my intention
To guide the wellspring's flow
Over this world of woes
And I arise to meet it
A discordant caw of crows
A whirlwind and a torrent
Before softer breezes blow
A countenance of clouds

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare.
It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process.

We never get a voice. It's always about what cis folk think or feel about us. These people will bemoan their grief at the loss of their trans child that they cut off, and never even consider the trans child that is grieving the family that couldn't just love them for who they are.
Funny how they didn't talk to the child, whose body it is. And of course, the parents are 'long-suffering' and just want the best for their child. 🙄
Surely there's no way this can be used to abuse trans youth. of course not. /s

Republicans won’t raise the federal min wage of $7.25 because they Claim it will tank the economy—hasn’t budged since 2009.
California raised it to $16.50 statewide, $20/hour for fast food—and in cities like West Hollywood, it’s $19.61.
No collapse. No chaos. Just the 4th biggest economy on Earth.

Not only is California the 4th largest economy in the world—it’s growing faster than any of the top three: U.S., China, and Germany.
Red state Republicans love to hate us… but they sure don’t mind cashing the checks.

Many, MANY people tell me how I would ostensibly be brutally murdered in Gaza for being trans and they will laugh because I deserve it.
But my favorite is the *many* cishet men who say how much they're definitely not attracted to me in the slightest bc I'm obviously a man and they'd never want me.
