Heh heh. Involvement in MIT's _thursday/monday_ in the mid-1970s had a lot to do with my not going to class, eventually dropping out

When I was later on a faculty elsewhere, I had at least one advisee who had to drop the campus paper because they just couldn't not put 100% in there

The songs are out there like the paintings in Twilight Zone opening

I've tried to figure out if this works for Biscuits' sets/shows. It's like that portals games where you go in and out of the different songs' lives with inverted and dyslexic and all that. The songs are there in their worlds all the time, and the set/show(/stand?) threads through them at moment

I won't guess. That and alt.sex.bondage were about the only places I ever had a presence

Trans rights are civil rights. If you aren't willing to die on the hill of trans rights, then you aren't willing to die on the hill of Black rights. Of Jewish rights. Of disabled rights. Of gay rights. Of anyone's rights. Human rights.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.
