I’m not interested in rebuttal.

People in three inflatable costumes at the No Kings protest: a T-Rex, Frog, and Eagle dressed as Uncle Sam. Faces have been blurred purposely. A sign is held that says “Let’s Keep Attack Pedophiles! Show us the Epstein Files!!!”

My quote of the day

In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Bank managers literally follow the BSA and other bank regulations aimed at stopping fraud. A bank manager thinks about fraud every time someone requests a withdrawal or loan. I worked as a bank teller. Among the many ridiculous statements he made, that one is up there.

“More than 50% of HIV diagnoses now occur in 48 counties in the United States. Cuyahoga County, home to Cleveland, is one of them.”

Stay safe out there, friends

We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

“Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have.
It is the very last inch of us.
And within that inch, we are free…It is small and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.”

That’s horrible, I wish that hadn’t happened. I hope she names the business.

Plexus Cleveland has a job board of Cleveland area businesses hiring, if she’s in the Cleveland area.

The WSJ should pay every trans person $2,000 just for the shit they pulled yesterday.

A bit of good news

Are you knowledgeable about state redistricting maps? Ohio must facilitate the public submission of new maps for review. You could help fight Ohio’s gerrymandering.

Fizzgig, my red-footed tortoise buddy, soaks in a small reptile bathtub. He’s a tiny little tortoise and looks small in a small tub of water. A tiny little guy! 2021, under 1 year old.

Fizzgig is much larger here! We’re working closely with a vet specialist and following advice on keeping his shell healthy. He’s standing on some greens and already chomped his strawberry treat. 🍓 4 years old, 2025.

I’m brainstorming a new indoor enclosure for my little tortoise buddy, Fizzgig. 💚 🐢 This little buddy has grown so since 2021!

CINDY MCCAIN: “The desperation is overwhelming.”

Tim Walz : trans rights are human rights

JB Pritzker : we’re taking names of all you fuckers and coming after you

Gavin Newsom : lol my pr firm made another meme while i guest starred on another right wing podcast

Governor stands with trans kids & won't take 'soul-sucking path' of sacrificing their rights - LGBTQ Nation "Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only, a punch in the face.”

I have been appreciating Governor Pritzker since he first caught my eye early this year to call out Trump and Congress.

In a year where other politicians decided it was too “difficult” to support trans kids, Pritzker solidified his support.

I don't know how Pritzker will ultimately handle this. He may not know either. But he's establishing a line here: Federal troops and National Guard troops from other states are not welcome in Illinois.
