It's nice to have allies. Still, wish we had more though.

Black Saturday: The Day the United States Ceased to Be a Constitutional Democracy Black Saturday, March 15, 2025, will be remembered as the day the U.S. ceased to function as a constitutional democracy. A sitting president defied a federal court order, proving that judicial authority no longer constrains executive power. This is not a warning—it is confirmation that democracy has already collapsed.

Buckle up. This crap just keeps getting thrown at us.

Watching For All Mankind. The characters are amazing so far, but halfway through season 2 and Molly might be my favorite.

I watched that press conference a few weeks ago where the President signed an executive order attempting to ban us from engaging, where he trotted out all the usual nonsense and falsehoods. Lots of lies

I'm so tired of this crap. It's been ramping up for two or three years now even from the usual background radiation that is trans and homophobia, but it's been coming to a head recently.

I've put a lot of work into it the past few years; it's important to me. And yep, that makes me a trans athlete.

Yes, I picked a niche sport. No, I'm not and will never be a pro athlete. But I do consider myself an athlete, on a good day (although right now I think I have about three months of work to go before I get up to where I was pre-recovery).

Working my way through Silo now. I'm glad I'm enjoying, because John (old friend) was the one who introduced me to the books.

Season 2 of Foundation was good, and I honestly think the books were not fleshed out enough that the details of any adaptation are all that important.

I've been rewatching Babylon 5; I am surprised that my fondness for this series is more than just nostalgia. It's not an exact allegory for the times, but it's very good. It's amazing how much 90s sci fi holds up. Or maybe I am nostalgic about it, lol.

The Chilling Line Trump Just Crossed On Transgender People With the latest trans military executive order, the administration has given up all pretense of "evidence-based care," and has moved to the kind of dehumanization meant to justify atrocity.

Cool. Great. Fuck. This is probably going to be immediately held up in court, but who knows with the current state of things how long that will last.
