The Auntie Karen

I broke my nose while bowling.

An article link on fb talking about B-2 bombers mentioned that they flew out of Whiteman AFB. Some folks in the comments were losing their minds over the "security risk" of identifying the base. So I provided the link to the base's own homepage that noted the B-2s were there.

Cruel and unusual, even.

I've got 25 years supporting the program and I'm going to need to see something more specific from the organization. Sure, trans Scouts are welcome, but what troop will they join? Will trans girls be forced into boy troops? Trans boys into girl troops? They seem deliberately obtuse.

Three members of my family of four cannot donate, for various reasons. We thank you for doing so!

Especially because there are blue parts of Kansas where we're doing what we can to drag the legislature into this century.

Donated from Kansas!

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

GO DONATE.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow

It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker

This was never about woman's sports

My executive function actually showed up today, with bonus added multi-tasking! Five loads of laundry - washed, dried, AND folded - while also doing an online training module I've been needing to complete.

It's the fucking GOP supermajority in the state lege.

I hate car shopping.

Hard agree. Melon is nasty.

I feel like a lot of people are missing that.

And put his head on a pike at Westminster Hall for more than 20 years.

Mark Shera was my tween crush.

It's in the alt text.

If a Real ID does not *explicitly* state that the holder is a citizen, it will not meet the requirements of the act. Most Real ID do not.

Fundamentally, Republicans want Americans to die.

That’s the message from blocking new lifesaving vaccines.

That’s the message from gutting FEMA.

That’s the message from their street goons gunning people down.

Republicans hate Americans and want us dead.

"Erroneously". Sure.

So... women have all the power and men can only be in control if women are utterly powerless.

Because most states' Real ID requirements do not meet those of the bill.

One of ours is (was?) An OB/GYN who suddenly became "Doc" during his campaign so he could appear folksy. (And get voters to ignore the fact that in practice, if not quite legally, he doesn't live in Kansas at all.)

Alford is awful. A former TV newsreader who parlayed his recognition into a seat in Congress.

So my spouse.

Doesn't care much for music. (Their brain can't tell lyrics from music so it's all mush.)

Knows no Spanish.

Sat through the entire halftime show because fuck the racists.

"If they wanted me to allow that, it would be in the lesson plan. It's not, so that's a no from me."

Perpetually crappy sleep hygiene.

So, if you really wanted a hybrid minivan but were unlikely to get one, which hybrid SUV would you choose? Currently driving a 2010 Forester. Local Subaru dealers suck, so prob not another one.
Why I want a minivan: low entry height, cargo space, and I really, really miss my beloved Grand Voyager.

I have a cloth mask, but it uses an N99 liner.
