@adamcsmith @ScottSoCal people who believe in hell 😡
The GOP is on an all-out crusade against the trans community. Red states have weaponized their gerrymandered supermajorities to pass laws outlawing gender-affirming care. This care is considered safe, effective, and medically necessary by major professional health associations, including the American Medical Association.
We need to tell the Biden Administration to undertake every effort to block these dangerous laws. My team and I urge you to take action with us: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/transgender-youth-biden-gop-attacks
Good, Big Banks pay -not Americans (directly): In the wake of the banks' failures last month, the FDIC est.: total losses at $22.5B, with $19.2B attributable to uninsured deposits -revised those -downward, to $15.8B stemming from uninsured deposits -bc the US's largest banks benefitted the most when the agency covered uninsured depositors' losses, those big banks would bear the brunt of these costs.

I'm old enough to remember when Joe Biden made a phone call to the hospital connecting Chris Licht with a top neurosurgeon who quickly assessed Licht's condition (near fatal brain aneurysm) making his treatment a top priority.
Licht later credited Biden for saving his life.
Yesterday, Licht set fire to democracy and Biden's agenda.
Chris Licht made it to the List of Deplorables.
Hello, hi.
I picked up a whole ton of new humans today so I'm making a post to help you acclimate.
✨ I own a portable planetarium and I take it to the smallest towns and weirdest places I can to reach people who would/could never visit a planetarium and show them the universe.
🧠When not doing that,I visit schools and daycares and do hands on STEM enrichment to foster creative problem solving and critical thinking.
When not doing that, I am obnoxious... on purpose.

Sexual assaulter" doesn't roll off the tongue well, and "sexual predator" downplays what #Trump did to #JeanCarroll.
Despite the possible redundancy, I'm going with "sexual molester" unless a more apt description presents itself.

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.
