We're in court today asking a judge to block a new Kansas law that invalidates the IDs of transgender people and allows anyone to sue a person they suspect of being trans for using public restrooms.

This law has been wreaking havoc on trans people and we're demanding an immediate end to it.

Evangelism is a cancer trying to infect the rest of the country. I still think that we must mandate critical thinking skills, communication, literacy, & actual science & history be taught at every level of education to get people to question the bigotry they're being taught by family.

Violent. Anti-Abortion. Anti-Trans. Tweets from Trump's new DHS pick preview more of the same. Sen. Markwayne Mullin new role would grant him leeway to control how detained immigrants receive reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, Trump’s next pick for Homeland Security secretary, consistently uses his social media to share anti-abortion and anti-trans content.

And his new role could grant him leeway to control how detained immigrants receive reproductive or gender-affirming healthcare.

Don’t let mega-constellation-building billionaires steal your night sky Satellites are wonders of modern technology that have improved all of our lives. But having more than a million of them in orbit could destroy our view of the heavens and seriously damage our planet

Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.

Yes. A MILLION.

This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

I would like to be present when government lawyers tell a 78-year-old judge “we can’t follow your order because the computer won’t let us.” That’s always fun.

I'd love to talk about Amazon being kicked out of the Paris Book festival (found out via Shelf Awareness), but every news article I can find about it is paywalled or in French I am not confident enough to translate.

Suffice to say I laughed aloud with delight at the news.

it's sparkling conflict you fool, it's only called a war if it originates in the Department of Wa- hold on, my producer is gesticulating violently and handing me a note

If anyone is up for boosting, Bandcamp is holding a fundraiser for the Trans Continental Pipeline to help trans people escape from Kansas!

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. / was asked whether she felt

DOJ has posted some pages of the missing Epstein files related to the FBI’s belated investigation of Trump’s participation in Epstein crimes after Epstein’s arrest and death in custody in 2019, and they are as bleak as you might expect. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

CALL YOUR REPS & tell them NO banning books. Period. Ever. This bill will remove ALL trans content from public libraries in the name of keeping kids "safe" from every having to know we exist. Another part of this regime's push to kill all trans people by criminalizing our existence.

Platner is a Nazi fan. Newsom is a power-hungry, transphobic creep. We don't need people this awful in office, ever, at any level of govt. Don't fucking come into my TL praising or promoting either of them, or useless, spineless Schumer, or backstabbing fascist-lover Fetterman. Kick them out.

Followed up with "and our deranged leader is happy with killing kids as long as they're not white & wealthy."

"Does your leader view the lives of armed services personnel as disposable by mocking their service or saying things like 'that’s the way it is' whenever they are killed?"

I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.

"It puts the treats on the desk, or it gets the chomps again."

Make a point of requesting eachother's books at your libraries. I don't know how MANY requests it takes to get a library to stock a book, especially an indie one, but there's only one way to find out.

Yes. But some may be flexible about fees or payment plans. & anyone writing a character, esp a main character, or culture that the author didn't grow up in, ought to budget for a sensitivity reader & deeply consider their notes. Funny how the authors who object most are cishet white guys.

Neat! To me it's a portmanteau of cat & kitten, which this ornj goober absolutely is. Allegedly 4 years, acts like 4 months.

Seriously, once I learned this is a thing, I've engaged at least one for any lived experience I don't have. INCREDIBLY useful resource to vastly improve books & I don't understand why more writers don't do this.
