I grew up in Oregon. This plan to clear cut Oregon's old growth forests is terrible in multiple ways. This article gives info on the situation and also where/how you can submit a comment to the BLM. Comment period closes March 23.

It's just so satisfying to never see them talk again.

Coffee bags, one is Tom of Finland with a Tom of Finland image on it. The other is Moomin with a Moomin leaning on a blueberry. More details: in the photograph of two "Art Roast" coffee bags on the shelf of a store with prices in euros. One of the bags is large and black and says HEAVY DUTY dark roast coffee beans, exclusive blend by Robert [I can't read it, it's in script]. The other is blue and says Blueberry coffee.

I liked it, but the reasons I enjoyed it were reasons I now believe are exploitative. Very competitive child. Basically.

But i just never remember thinking about them as anything more than those stories church people like.

What's funny to me generally is that although we did not go to church and I was raised very secularly, my parents weren't actively avoidant of Christian stuff so I did step my little feet into babysitter/friends' churches and heard plenty of the standard bible stories.

Well, GS at least has an organizational history of trying to accept trans girls. I never really understood the cookies thing, but that's a matter of taste and now me being one of those crotchety olds who dislikes child labor fundraising.

Omg yes. I remember not liking it much as a teen right after it came out, but I hadn't yet developed the taste to enjoy Geoffrey Rush devouring the scenery.

Buddy Guy: Tiny Desk Concert With a little help from his Sinners co-star Miles Caton, the near-nonagenarian legend gives the Tiny Desk a history lesson in the blues.

Legendary, and brings back memories of when I was fortunate enough to see him play live. β€œFeels Like Rain” outdoors, perfect.

It really depends on the troop I think I was pulled out of GS after a few months when i was 6 or 7 because my mom thought it was too much like a cult. I also basically only remember getting visited by a gulf war vet, being told to eat raisins whether i liked them or not, and making angel decorations

To the Kehrli who lives in Kodiak- your holds are ready to pick up and the library wants to know if you want them, but you used my email instead of yours so i guess they'll never know

As an intersex person whose assigned gender was medically enforced from infancy

As an intersex person whose body does not, cannot & never will conform to neatly-labeled boxes of M or F

As an intersex person public about my identity in the media

The Kansas ruling is a bleak omen of horrors to come

If you work in a company, let's say a publishing house, and there's been a quiet roll back of trans inclusion and you have not stood up or blown a whistle you are complicit. There's no room for error anymore.

We can still keep our trans homies safe. But only if we fucking fight, and that means risk

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

I mean, Harry Potter fans who support Rowling's work because of their unending nostalgia are not the biggest culprits, but they do have the easiest hurdle of ffs grow up and move on, so i probably have an unreasonable level of ire in that direction

If you wake up this morning, miss the news and go to work in Kansas while trans and get pulled over in a traffic stop for any reason and the cop is a piece of shit, you can be charged with a misdemeanor. Out of nowhere because your valid ID was invalidated for no good fucking reason.

And for anyone not clicking the link, Kansas just up and told all trans people in the state with their preferred sex marker that their state ID and DL is invalid. No warning.

New Law Puts Kansas at Forefront of Anti-Trans Restrictions Some transgender Kansans are considering leaving the state after Republicans overrode a veto to pass the law.

Hi, good morning. A massive, absolutely huge, fuck you to every single person who worked to get us to this point. time.com/7381312/tran...

"But democrats also suck so I don't vote" - fuck you

Other linguistics gripe: pretty much any complaint that a language not spoken by the complainer is ugly, too difficult, too weird, etc. I'm extra annoyed by this when the language in question has been banned or otherwise made unusable for significant or legal purposes in areas it is spoken.
