I’m going to delete the app from my devices for awhile.

Keeping the account though.

I’ve been spewing horrific vitriol for which I’m deeply embarrassed and ashamed.

Don’t get me wrong.

Our anger is justified.
More extreme measures will be justified.

Clearing my head for that day.

Thanks!

Anger has been clouding my thinking lately.

Time for a break from social media.

People like you said the same thing about AIDS activists in the 80’s and 90’s.

β€œGay militants” was perhaps the most polite moniker used by people like you.

β€œReasonable” people like you, and the revered NYT, labeled ActUp as β€œcrazed activists.

40 years later, WE have to suffer your ignorance.

How many days before the first reported suicide?

Even money that it’s before August 31st.

And then a few each season.

But hey.

At least they canceled the LGBTQ+ suicide support line.

I hope the 7+ rating is deserved.

Perhaps.
But neither will do so publicly.

Neither has the courage of their convictions.

One is trying to be a reporter.

The other is trying to be a representative of Delaware.

Neither wants to explain their position.

Bet we hear crickets from Brianna Wu and Sarah McBride.

They must be pleased as punch today.

You’ll never hear from them about trans issues.

They’re too busy trying to fit in.

F**k them for their silence.

Sarah McBride and Brianna Wu

The dynamic duo of centrism

Creating standards and norms for trans women everywhere

How lucky are WE to have them

Mike Lee needs to tickle my bridge.

No more high road ffs

I want Mike Lee to SEE his children die horrible painful cancerous deaths.

And his wife kill herself after testing positive for syphilis.

Fuck it.

No more etiquette for the undeserving.

When this is all over, will there be an audit to determine the amount looted by this administration?

Nope.
Not if dems are in power.

Best we can hope for is a negotiated exile.

Like they did for the Shah of Iran.

As a SIGINT analyst in West Germany until 1988, I can attest that the USSR collapsed before 1991, without the help of US intelligence.

Reagan needed the appearance of an β€œEvil Empire” for propaganda purposes.

I had this album in high school circa 1982.
Most of it still bangs today.

You’re not alone Lina.

Late-life transition is fraught with emotions that, frankly, much younger trans women will NEVER have to experience.
They are fortunate.

FWIW, though, you look FABULOUS!

Found out today that 13-year old girls are experts at being mean while making it look innocuous,

AND

That 13-year old boys are always one decision away from committing a felony.

That I’m talking about suburban white kids is a given.

What kind of adults will they be?

Less optimistic each day.

What happens when the NSA is forbidden by current allies from conducting SIGINT operations across Europe and Asia?

Regional proxy wars, financed by the superpowers and private interests, that’s what.

Armando Iannucci writes the story and directs this wickedly funny film. Peter Capaldi shines.

My upper arm flaps are the next stage of human evolution.

Flabby arms that REFUSE to become toned despite regular exercise and diet.

Did I MISS that on the Florida Board of Medicine consent forms i have to fill out to receive HRT?

It’s a NOTICEABLE jiggle, too.

F**k

It’s crazy how much press they give him.

That they choose to ignore his overtly fascist worldview is astounding.

Mainstream journalism has died.
