I'm going to guess that this very unpleasant person is having a hard time finding someone willing to spend enough time with her to do a proper job with her coloring.

How a trans woman's removal from a restroom tore the world of competitive pinball apart Pinball is one of the most welcoming sports for trans players. But after a confrontation at an arcade last fall, pinball’s governing group is struggling to rebuild trust.

I keep reposting this article because it needs to be seen. This is what responsible journalism on a discriminatory act against trans people looks like. Jo put in the work.

It's no longer just my and others' personal accounts vs. random men with opinions.

The murderers of Alex Pretti and Renee Good had been in the DHS for years. Among some of the most "trained" agents in the field.

If your answer is not abolishing ICE it must instead be an absolute gutting of agency leadership, with impeachment for all the department heads.

You've got one problem though, many native St Louisans pronounce that as "Tower Grove Park" which will get confusing in conversation real quick.

Pretty proud of my bike protest setup. It was an inspiring day riding with my community to remember Alex Pretti.

I'm pretty sure that Palantir will work on enshittifying their process, so you'll just slide them some cash to get your records cleaned. Paying modern day indulgences.

Southwest is now more expensive than American when you include the cost of bags and seat charges. I give it 6 months before we see the non-stop flights from STL plummet.
