I hope with ** all of this ** that Lin-Manuel Miranda is inspired at least. We need the morale...and jesters with funny hats maybe?

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

JFC indeed.

When I lived in CO, a woman was tortured and they called it an "alleged," hate crime because they had no protections for LGBTQ yet. Nothing "Great" comes from hate, ever. His name was Sam Nordquist and he was a person with a heart and feelings above all else.

Even government sites that reference "LGBTQ" have taken the "T" off, as if lesbians, gays, and bisexuals are the only levels with any protections--and those protections happened within my lifetime! I was present at two of the meetings where they instated LGBTQ protections in Oregon.

I can't look at the articles because it's my worst nightmare as a parent. Sam Nordquist was tortured for days because of other people's unfounded hate. The current iteration of the US emboldens creatures like Sam's captors with its ignorant and hateful anti-trans rhetoric.

I just learned about "Aquafaba" and it's blowing my mind. I wanted to eat cookie dough (don't you judge me) and had no eggs (because **flails wildly**) and looked up substitutions. Apparently Aquafaba is the liquid in a can of garbanzo beans(!!??) 3 tbsp = 1 egg. 🤯🤯🤯 The cookie dough was delicious.

I'd had that terrible thought too but had struck it for word #'s in making the post. 😭 Ye Gods.

I worry that the next US President will have to spend the whole time re-erecting the systems that were in place to support the people before Trumpmusk tore them down. May we be the Donna, bringing them the finest muffins and bagels in all the land. #WestWing youtu.be/A8CtGDzHYgk?...

Last night I dreamt that a family had left their home due to too many #bigfoot on their property, and I was cast opposite Phil on #ExpeditionX. We were looking for ghosts in the PacNW but I was obsessed w/ bigfoot, and (off camera) Phil was sleeping with Rachel Maddow. I love having dreams again. ❤️

I'm not cis-het or middle class but have been researching how to leave should things get too unsafe. I hope if you see those posts you're able to view them as resources only. Love the hat!

Republicans retort "Then leave!" But expatriation isn't easy. Canada's adjusted influx numbers rely on ~2m CA's leaving. MX has solvency restrictions ~US$7k/mth. The lowest $$ visas I've found ~$130k before addtl & per dependent fees (in the tens of thousands). For those safety planning, any advice?

I feel like we need direction from democratic officials on how to proceed productively in resistance without freaking out. NOT "Keep Calm and Carry On," I mean: "Here's how to resist and why we promise you won't be put in a camp for taking your kid to their gender clinic appt." #panickingrationally
