Definitely not.
Itβs traditional after 100 days in power to assess how things are going with our leaders in Washington. So how does the GOP House Majorityβs record look, at just over 100 days in?
In #TheBigPictureβs installment today, we look at the failed promises, emotional distractions and rudderless agenda of the Republican House Majority. Read more here: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/first-100-days-gop-house
If they don't, I say it's time for some good old-fashioned smiting.

@KFuentesGeorge @ScottSoCal I remember how people justified the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice. Someone said the park/playground where Tamir was playing was in a bad neighborhood; another said the kid was 5'7" tall. (I guess they never heard of growth spurts among 8th graders.)

That? That was all for this moment. To make it harder to get rid of us without anybody noticing.
I'm under no illusions that the political situation for trans people is going to turn on a dime. Bad things may come. But I will promise that you're going to have to hear about it. I'm not planning on letting anyone pretend what's happening isn't happening.
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.
