Remember to start your week with #transjoy #transjoyisresistance

I was 48 when I sold my first script, 52 when it got made, 54 when it was released.

Let me and tonight’s #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.

Don’t stop until you’re dead.

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.

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...

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 “protestor”today. They were out terrorizing the Children’s Hospital in St. Louis because they offer gender affirming healthcare. The “protestor” 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.

Broke the music industry, a few eardrums, and a lot of hope that this sh*t is dying anytime soon.

#JuniorDoctors #strike starts today, and so as before; when your appointment has been cancelled, when your #healthcare has been disrupted, please do not get annoyed at the striking #HealthService staff.

They have gone on strike as a last resort, after years of #tory attrition towards the #NHS and a radical decade long program of defunding of our health service.

Direct your anger & blame towards the #Tories & #JeremyHunt who have been instrumental in causing the #nhscrisis

#SupportTheStrikes

Wouldn't I have to do good before I do better?

So, my partner was sunning hisself on the varanda when he asked me to get him another beer AND open it,. When I asked him if he'd like me to press it to his lips, too, he said, "No but a sippy straw would be nice."

@geekyonion @ScottSoCal @peterb If I can be a plant nerd for a moment, I've always found the avocado toast thing to be hilariously strange. Avocados literally grow on trees in California, and anyone who wants to grow them in their backyard can plant one and in a few years have more than they can possibly eat. (We were getting over 2000 avocados a year from a tree at a place we rented a couple of years ago.)

Numbers DON't LIE!

@ScottSoCal I have Fireweed, a purple tall cover that bees love. But I need to put some between my apple trees to bring them close.

Have the banks considered eating less avocado toast?

Trans rights are under threat. This is “a road test for authoritarianism” in the US, says Imara Jones, as the GOP is working to “demonize and stigmatize an entire group of people in order to build the type of society that religious zealots want.” #velshi http://ow.ly/gX7n50NgeBx
