I get sick of being told “well, we have to take their concerns seriously.”

No we don’t! Their concerns are completely made up! We shouldn’t even gesture at maybe taking them seriously, especially when what they want is to take rights away from someone!
The problem isn't that transphobic parents are being ignored, it's that they're *lying about basic facts.* This is the dynamic on nearly every issue of public interest, from guns to climate change to economics.

"The bigots are lying again" is a fucking great message for democrats and it's true.

I got some tiny Studex earrings at the chemist to wear daily to get my ears used to wearing earrings again.

Tried to put them in & the posts are so thick they could sub in for the railroad spike that got Phineas Gage.

(I think the issue is they're piercing gun studs? IDK but a fail.)🫠

Sometimes I see a ridiculously frilly skirt/dress with a cinched-in 50s waist silhouette that would go hard with a petticoat, and I think, "Man, pre-pandemic, high-masking, Me would have ate that shit up with a spoon..."

I'm so sick of people sending me stroppy emails about how something doesn't work, then when I give them details on how to do what they want to do, they get even more stroppy because it's not helping them do the secret other process that they can't do because IT DOESN'T EXIST. please.

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

Read an article about superannuation & what you need to save to live comfortably after retirement and at the end it said the estimates are based on the assumption of home ownership. Lol forever. That's a pretty big assumption mate.

Lord, if you love me and want me to be happy, you'll grant me the opportunity to yell "Highlights!" as my nemesis falls prey to a downfall of their own design... #Hamilton

Hamilton: You strike me as a woman who has never been satisfied.
Angelika: I'm sure I don't know what you mean, you forget yourself.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
