Ugh.

I've appreciated Jammidodger on Youtube (Jamie Raines) doing breakdowns of the actors being cast in the books or tv show, and it seems like most are genuinely clueless, but (as Jamie says)... they need to not be. It's so frustrating.

This sound exhausting... I'm so sorry you're having to go through it and face long waits for answers 🫂💜

1. Wow we could not ask for better allies!
2. AND some perimenopausal women can get estrogen prescriptions from which they could, you know, um... have extra. And they could do something to help the trans femmes with that extra!

Tagging in @sienoel.bsky.social to comment on IHOP part of this!

just saw it drop and can't wait to listen later today probably!

Drop what you are doing and listen to this right now!
@imarajones.bsky.social is doing such important work with this and, as a public school teacher there is so much in this that I want everyone to know.

I mean it's just a difference of opinion, right? Can't we get along with the people who want us to not exist? Why do we have to be so stubborn in demanding rights? We should really have some compassion for those who hurt us - we're really hard for them to understand.

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yes!!! T!!!!

Oh right, yes to all of those!

Just finished Season 3 last night and omg the ending is so good. I missed so many things the first time.

OMG I love it. Now I'm going to have to do *another* rewatch of Season 3. (oh darn lol - will probably do it before Season 4)

Wait - does this create all the triangles, too? Like Keeley/Roy/Jamie, Colin/Trent/Issac... are there more?

woaaaaaahhhhhhhh 🤯

Things like Zava and Jack really bothered me the first time, but it was because I was worried the show was wasting time with them. On a rewatch, they're a lot shorter and are just plot devices for other characters to grow.

And the Amsterdam episode is a *gem*.

I've got one episode left in a rewatch of Ted Lasso (Seasons 1-3) and on this rewatch, I am *loving* season 3, which I originally had mixed feelings about. The negatives aren't around as long as I thought, and there's a *lot* of highlights (Sam, Colin/Trent/Issac, Nate, Keeley/Roy/Jamie, etc).

RIGHT?!?! And AOC has been out there doing her "Fight Oligarchy" thing, and Walz has been good, too, and and and... we have options, and again I say... we have more than two years, we do not need to coronate a winner right now. Let's make would-be candidates work for it!

(oh and I also voted in W v. Gore, but honestly don't feel confident characterizing Gore the candidate - I was 18 at the time and didn't know much)

In my voting life, the dems ran Kerry, HRC, Biden, Harris; all were perceived to be centrist liberals whose whole campaign was "I'm not the republican." Other than Biden 2020 which was a wild year, they all lost.

Obama was at least seen as "progressive" and won easily.

Why can't we learn this?

I'm thinking it might finally be time to do a reaction series to the witch trials of jk rowling podcast, though! I've been wanting to since it came out.

Agreed - I signed up for the free trial and then immediately cancelled, and then got through them before the trial period expired. but that still means I can't go back and listen to them again and, like you said, they're unsharable.

It does still look like he has until the end of the week to pass a bunch of LGBTQ+ protections, and I'll be calling him this afternoon to encourage him to do so. Still, the one veto is unconscionable already.

And they tell us that we literally have to support him without question *NOW*, when there's over two years until the primary and he hasn't even declared yet and primaries are literally about finding the best option and he is *NOT* it and I just want to scream.

I just got done listening to all of the @ifbookspod.bsky.social eps about her last week and it's hard to disagree with your take here.

Absolutely true. All my life I was told "it's a free country." And I know it never was, but my goodness - it's awful to see people with "freedom" bumper stickers cheering the demolition of those freedoms we did have.

If only...

But they seem to be focused on "talk therapy" not being "medical care" which has *far* reaching implications.

I was today years old when I learned she's queer 🤦‍♀️

Makes her throwing trans people under the bus even that much more of a betrayal.

YES!

omg yes.

Also I'm seeing somehow people missing that she was behind the horrible "Witch Trials of JK Rowling" podcast, in which it is argued something along the lines of "JK Rowling isn't transphobic, but if she was that'd be good."

The venn diagram of people who think Bari Weiss is a fair/balanced journalist and people who think Charlie Kirk was a fair/skilled debater is a circle.

Yeah - I have no words. Hannah, I'm so so sorry. 🫂💜

literally no idea - but i hope you get to write a book!
