@MKSinSA One time while on a walk, Kassy the dog was confronted by an inquisitive hummingbird, who hovered a foot away from her face. After a few seconds, Kassy made her move. “Woof!” I don’t have that shot, but here she is with a butterfly.

"'It turned out that one of the biggest risks to our business model was catering to a very tightly knit group of investors who exhibit herd-like mentalities,' said a senior executive at the bank. 'I mean, doesn’t that sound like a bank run waiting to happen?'"

When I was in Luxembourg this weekend, I saw these embossed markings on crosswalk buttons that show the layout of the crossing. This one shows multiple car lanes, tram tracks and inbetween pedestrian islands. #accessibility

Had to explain to a friend about credit unions yesterday, their funds are at a "nickel-and-dime-you-to-death" big name #bank. Surprised not more people know about credit unions. (also NCUA insured, but funds are collected from members, nonprofit).

Particularly appreciating my local B-corporation bank today!

“There is no debate to argue here. Trans people have been here forever and aren’t going anywhere. There is no ideology here. It’s simple. Trans rights are human rights. Anything stating the contrary is wrong.”
Jamie Lee Curtis.

Yummy.... uggh 😂🤣👇

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 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.
