Obama was a state senator before being a US senator and was a community organizer before that. Again I'm not too deep into Platner's background but I don't think he has any experience like that.

And also I'm not in his state so my opinion only goes so far, but I guess I was questioning why people were so set on the only two choices being Mills or Platner this early in the process.

Ok, but I feel like if for example AOC had gone straight to run for Senate, the amount of people telling her to take it slow would really dwarf the pushback I'm seeing on Platner, and I feel like some of the wider acceptance of Platner's candidacy is at least partially rooted in privilege.

My point is, with people worrying about another Fetterman and those saying Platner isn't fit for elected office, I feel someone with the background Platner has might want to aim for something with a shorter term limit or something a little more local as their first foray into politics

What I don't understand is why he's jumping straight to being a senator. Am I missing part of the story where he's been in politics before? I feel like he should start off in local politics to actually have some legislative accomplishments to point to in order to get people to trust what he says

Maybe this is all a lover's spat

Realizing how much of that scarcity is a construct of our current economic situation is frustrating

Went to the No Kings 2 in Livermore CA today because I have work out here later, but still was energized by all the people upset with the administration exercising their right to protest. #NoKings

Had 2 things 2 weeks ago that I'm still "riding the high" from. First I got to meet up with my sister who I hadn't seen in almost 3 years and like myself had also come out as trans in that time & on my way home I stopped in at the college I attended 20 years ago to meet with the revived theater club

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Protest sign with bold black text saying "Out and NOT Going Back!" over the trans flag.

Sign from first no kings is my current profile pic. Putting the pic from right after I finished making it so it's bigger in the thread. Probably bringing it to the second No Kings protest as well

So great to see a game I really enjoy getting a shout-out, and more people learning about it in the process.

probably more about my hobbies and work I'm proud of. But really I'd post less overall and probably spend less time on social media as I have come to rely on it as one of my sources of information on what is happening against our community

Didn't see insidious recommended for an adjective yet

Just pointed out to my friends on facebook that the HF proposal would likely get me labeled a TIVE because of my protest sign I had at the no kings protest and also linked your article

I could see it. That goofy axolotl smile could belong to a Mr. Massacre

4 performers standing on a sand colored stage with their thumbs out like a hitchhiker during a movement piece. They are wearing worn-out costumes and no shoes

4 perfomers in a movement piece where the central one is being restrained by the other three. Red tones coming from the left side of the frame and blue coming from the right

4 performers on a darkened stage meant to represent night with stars projected on the walls behind them and a red glow coming from a barrel on the right side of the frame.

came across a post in other social media about a show I designed lights for in 2013. while my audience here is very different, I figured why not post the pictures here too. Here I can actually tag the wonderful photographer @ladybedivere.bsky.social

Congratulations!

That was indeed an awesome setup and reaction. Also adding you are an amazing GM and have a wonderful group of players there

it really was a fun watch

Opinion | The Truth About Detransitioning

Just to be clear about what this says--not only is transition rare among the general population (<2%) and not only is detransition rare among those who do (lowest estimate is 1%, highest is 10%), but *transition regret* is only a third of detransition. A fraction of a fraction of a fraction

I think the original post was deleted as it was an article from last year. That fact doesn't really change my disappointment in my governor.

Original link shared in the deleted post:

the part that bugs me about this is I watched the video he put out in 2024 and it's clear he no longer holds those positions or wasn't being genuine, and now he doesn't really seem interested in engaging with community about it. It feels like he assumes our vote so he chases the conservative voters

I also think those in the wealthy class learned that letting workers have free time to ponder their life meaning and direction hurt their ability to pay workers less than they were worth. Now they need to crush work from home and keep workers from self reflection and self actualization.

As a person whose egg was cracked by the pandemic some of this makes way too much sense.

the only reason I am considering getting a new passport is if the government start publicly using data from forms like that, I would want to leave the country ASAP
