It goes to Chicago then DC them Atlanta. It is the dumbest thing.

Also the train ride from Atlanta to DFW is 65 hours.

I’m worried that I might not even get there. 😭

I’m doing my part.

Orchi is way less of a hit and can be done prior to vaginoplasty.

There’s only one solution.

I want multi-member congressional districts with proportional vote ranked choice so bad.

Dumping the accumulated knowledge or whatever is a reasonable idea, but I would hate for the state of the art to move or the doctor to be tweaking something for a particular patient and for there to be conflicting information leading to confusion.

In my experience a lot of girls also tend to be a little lax with the dilation schedules and techniques and that leads to their complications.

It’s hard because there really isn’t a huge body of work for how to do those surgeries. I’ve stayed in touch in my surgeons practice and his technique has evolved from when I had mine done 2 years ago and they are constantly tweaking the post op regimen.

Every single county shifted blue… but not one flipped. It’s wild that there can be a 10 point swing and it is still a 15 pt margin. Politics is wildly polarized in the US.

"hah look this law is stupid" is identical to "this law is clearly meant to be selectively enforced against its targets with plausible deniability"

It is shameful and embarrassing for liberals to not understand this.

Having 3% of the net worth is impressive when you make up 0.01% of the population.

People are good and deserve our compassion.
The more people that are able to do what they are good at instead of what they need to survive the better.
We can do more together than we can alone.
No one should fear their neighbor.
Those with power shouldn’t get more power because of their position.

Making carve outs and softening positions to appeal to people that are barely paying attention to you is too nuanced. Have principles. Make the best policy for those principles. Then hold the opposing principles against yours and make the argument that they are wrong!

The Dem strategy of peeling off the marginal conservative voters by being more conservative is completely tone deaf. If the option is a principled but shitty platform or an unprincipled shitty platform with compromises you’re going to go with the principled one because it’s a consistent argument.

She sucked me in! First few chapters it’s like β€œoh this poor baby being manipulated by Katherine”. Then just goes full on mean girl queen bee. K is exhausting, N just turns into a controlling bitch.

Don’t forget to make it so obviously hostile to people that don’t look like them that everyone leaves.

Does that mean I will be able to get a studio for less than $2500/month if he gets elected?

The US doesn’t even have a meaningful amount of shipping done under our flag. Why was the administration going after this?
