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.

What they really have trouble with is that, even if you're talking only about biology, gender is more analog than binary.
One of the reasons conservatives target transgender folks is because if you accept that gender is binary and immutable, you'll be more likely to accept that gender roles are too.
Because I am super earnest, I like LinkedIn Learning's marketing line about "creating a culture of learning."
I mean, sure, it's corny, but the only way we get better is by dedicating time to learning.
Many years ago, I was photographed for the Dear World project, and the motto I chose to write on my body was "keep learning."

I was 48 when I sold my first script, 52 when it got made, 54 when it was released.
Let me and tonightβs #Oscars be your reminder that it is never too late, you are never too old.
And ladies, as #MichelleYeoh said, we are NEVER past our prime.
Donβt stop until youβre dead.

I know it's related to work, but I see IPA and my only thought is "IsoPropyl Alcohol" You don't want to drink that.
@moliver @Talia_christine OMG what is it in the PNW that makes everybody crave IPA? Iβve yet to find a pub in Victoria that serves Rickardβs Red or Guinness on tap, but every one of them has eleventyone varieties of IPA (mainly local) with descriptions of how hoppy they are. Likewise the liquor stores have a zillion IPAs & maybe two brown ales if youβre lucky (& that will be a honey brown). Hopps per se are bitter, they should be used sparingly. Do not approve.
And if they're wearing a fancy dress and stole your Aunt Tilly's tablecloth to wear with it, you really have to panic.
Stop saying that Charles is king now. The Queen had so many corgis. Any one of them could be the rightful heir. It's 2023, and we still have not seen a single dog rule over England. This is an opportunity to correct our past mistakes.

No one who drinks coffee black can be trusted. And mixing coffee with bourbon is just unnatural. Friedman was obviously one of the lizard people.
Three reminders:
"Handmaid's Tale" has already been here the whole time, it was pointed at racialized women.
Racism is fascism that hasn't yet come for the white people.
The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed.
My latest newsletter is all about the the debate that tore the trans community apart back in 2001, and why I think we've moved past it. Gather round, kids! It's story time...

They knew, and they were trying to raise money to cover it, and I've seen reports that they actually had it lined up - preventing this failure - but Peter Thiel, buddy of Elmo, buddy of TFG, buddy of Putin, had his VC company put out a statement that everyone must withdraw all their accounts immediately. And the bank crashed.
SVB was stupid, and irresponsible, but Thiel was evil.
How can a bank go that long not realizing they don't have enough cash on hand to cover their ass?
That was just my little pouring out of my heart, because a friend of mine was threatened by an anti-trans βprotestorβtoday. They were out terrorizing the Childrenβs Hospital in St. Louis because they offer gender affirming healthcare. The βprotestorβ aimed their car at my friend, threatening to run him over, swerving at the last moment.
And my brave friend DANCED.
He found a reservoir of unstolen joy in his heart and used it to make his trans Jewish self more visible as a counter to the hate.
It takes almost nothing - a few thousand sales - to make a "top iTunes hit." Just some context.
Broke the music industry, a few eardrums, and a lot of hope that this sh*t is dying anytime soon.

We "made America great again", with child labor. Education and leisure are for the rich.
