Protect Trans Care Now As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.

Just a reminder. I used to love HP. I do not support it or anything Rowling does. I will not support her POV/bigotry in any way. Period.

Ready or Not is one of my go-tos.

I say without exaggeration—Whalefall by @danielkraus.com is a masterpiece and I am better for having experienced it.

Tonight I heard Sekhmet snore for the first time. Her voice is high pitched and soft, even when snoring. Little angel.
