I will miss my people. I will miss this community. But this is what is best for us. It’ll be an adventure. Right?! 5/5

The task of moving is enormous and adding saying farewell to so many people that I love makes this even more daunting. I will do my best to see as many of you as I can. I’m planning a couple trips to Atlanta before we go so I can visit with some of you there. 4/5

But the America that I loved no longer exists and I cannot justify continuing my fight here at the risk of the safety of those I love most.

So here we are. I’m both excited and terrified. 3/5

I never dreamed that I would be doing something like this. I never imagined that I would feel forced to.

I’ve spent a good deal of time trying to reconcile this decision with my lifelong activism and love of my country. 2/5

Hello friends. I have big news. Jeff and I, along with Rabbit, Derek, and Ada have decided that our family is no longer safe in the US. This decision is the result of a long, painful process. We will all be leaving mid August to make Uruguay our new home. 1/5

Doctors are overrated. Why don’t they just let us make medical appointments directly with insurance providers?

To be clear, Fuck Donald Trump for all of it. Not even this, really. This is just a symbol of the whole fucking dumpster fire that used to be our country. Fuck him and every single person who didn’t vote for Kamala.

Screen shot from the official White House facebook page with a picture of a be-crowned Trump with LONG LIVE THE KING in all caps in the lower left corner. The NYC skyline is in the background. The text of the post reads:

"CONGESTION PRICING IS DEAD. Manhattan, and all of New York, is SAVED. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

Luckily they shouldn’t be able to override the inevitable veto.

Pay attention and be ready to make your calls if it comes to that point.

Tbf, hyenas actually kill more prey than lions, but lions push them off their kills. The hyenas are the victims of lion propaganda. Scar was a tyrant, but the hyenas were just doing regular hyena shit.

The OPM (federal government HR) created a snitch line for anyone to report DEI in the federal government.

The email is DEIAtruth@opm.gov

It would be a shame if the email was flooded. I want to be clear. The trans community is absolutely definitely not well known as tech savvy people.
