If you are a gay/trans/bi/queer teen, your life really fucking matters and we need you here in this world. It's our collective fault, not yours, that you hear any other message. We need to do better. We need to create a safer world. And we need to rid people like Ted Cruz from power who endorse and spread hateful messages.
@BobDevney Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty much what it does. But there's way more than 20 of these, so that's an extra boost of power.
The Respect for Marriage Act has just passed the House, 258-169, including 39 Republicans.
It will protect millions of LGBTQ families who otherwise would not have that protection. Senator Tammy Baldwin deserves enormous credit for her leadership in making this happen.
It is a very good thing that this bill is being passed, but it is also a signal of future obstacles. Do not get complacent. This does not end any battles for LGBTQ rights, but it does better prepare us for the battles to come.
@marcelias Having a House speaker who got any Dem votes would make MTG lose (what passes for) her mind.
I would so watch that on pay-per-view.
On Twitter it took us almost 5 years to reach to 50,000 followers.

Itβs been called βthe single most important case on and for American democracy since the nationβs foundingββand thatβs from conservative Michael Luttig of the 4th Circuit.
What exactly was argued before SCOTUS yesterday, and how did it go? I take us on a high level view of the very dangerous Moore v. Harper case and cautiously make some predictions about how the Court will rule.

Looks like MAGA wants to go back to the Dark Ages! No vaccines, no medical care, no electricity.

@BobDevney My sleep looks like this, and I just stay in bed so I can go back to sleep. The alternative - for me - is to stay awake all night.
@ashleygwinter Done and done.
Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, a favorite place of the townspeople and most of the guests of our big city. There are many monuments of historical architecture and a special positive energy. You can walk for a long time on the territory of the Lavra, itβs good to dream here and enjoy the silence and fresh air. My city of Kyiv is over 1500 years old, can you imagine how much ancient architecture and holy places there are in the city. I will be very happy if some of you like my photos.
@CoachMark@thecanadian.social Mine would be an album I picked up by mistake. Etta Jones, her greatest hits. She has an amazing voice.

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
