@marcelias Good. These election denying nutjobs need to be forced to pay for their garbage lawsuits - without consequences, there's zero incentive for them to stop doing it
The final part of my #trans #comingout narrative, Opening the Black Box, is now up. For all the terror, uncertainty, worry--all of it--this day was the day that built the foundation of the woman I would become, and I will never be able to tell my wife how grateful I am for her love.
I promise that I didn't plan out a happy ending for the day after Christmas. It just... sort of worked out unexpectedly. Which, I suppose, is exactly how this particular story ought to end.

The independence a big podcast would give me would free me from facebookβs fascist algorithm which suppresses liberal ideas. Thank you in advance.

But here is Tesla, Ford and GMβs stock price.

Somebody needs to remind these people that you can't win an election just by saying you won it. You have to actually get more votes than the other candidates.

All over the country, there are emergency responders and workers actually, actively taking care of life.
To all the emergency responders, snow plow drivers, utility workers, medical professionals, service workers, and those like the people who showed up here to take care of freezing, mistreated migrants- to all people that had to brave the elements to the benefit of others, thank you. The public owes you debt of gratitude.
On the other hand, scorn should be heaped upon Greg Abbott. Oldest trick in the authoritarian playbook: scapegoat and demonize a racial group. Give your angry supporters--for whom you feel nothing but contempt anyway, by the way--someone to feel superior to. Frees you from the need to actually do anything for them, doesn't it?
It's ugly and wrong.

Albert Einstein called Meitner βour Marie Curie." She also adamantly refused to work on the atomic bomb during WWII. https://www.aps.org/publications/apsnews/201502/physicshistory.cfm #women #history #science #energy

Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing.
