I should probably pin Britt's ref sheet.

If you're trans, remember: the point of changing your appearance and presentation is to feel better living in your own skin. Anyone who gives you grief for not meeting some arbitrary standard is welcome to go shag a cactus.

First note: they'e redacted "section titles*. §III.D is "Trump Campaing and the Dissemination of Hacked Materials". Subsubsection 1 is redacted. Kinda central to the entire conceit of the endeavor, and we don't get to know.

If you want to read along, here's the link I used: https://games-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/documents/f5fe536c-81bb-45be-86e5-a9fee9794664/note/a8d336ef-e98d-4a08-987d-b4c154b22700.pdf

The reason we haven't impeached him yet is entirely political, not a lack of evidence. The Democrats would much rather get to be seen fighting valiantly (if ineffectually) against a cartoon villain than have to be put back in the situation they were in in 2009–10, namely having to explain why they weren't doing anything major to address the major problems that their capitalist funders/backers have created for the vast majority of humanity.

But I digress.

Heck, even failure to divest should be impeachable: it's wrong for exactly the same reasons obstruction of justice is, namely that it precludes effective overusing of and accountability for the potential misdeeds of someone who wields enormous power.

Sigh. I'm home. I should probably read this thing.

Not that I want to. It's irrelevant. There are already plenty of good reasons to consign the spray-tanned shitweasel to an oubliette: child separations, the Muslim ban, the trans ban, etc.

Just saw a Tesla with the license plate Drives U. And no it €£^#kng doesn’t. That sort of overhyping of automation’s (impressive, but limited) capabilities leads to exactly the overconfidence/overreliance that has already killed a few people.

Psst. Hey. Cis men.

Yes, you. I’m gonna let you in on a secret that’s just too good to keep to myself.

Skirts are fantastically comfortable.

And they are not in any way incompatible with your bodies. You could wear them if you wanted to!

You could even get one made with trucks and swords or something worked into the design of that feels more manly for you.

But either way, enjoy freedom and simplicity!

When you know someone before they transition, it can be hard to get their deadname out of your head. I know people who’ve deliberately practiced using a trans person’s new name out of earshot to build up the habit.

It can be done.

To fail to do it is to let yourself hurt another.

Good morning.

Still have Halcyon+On+On stuck in my head.

Aaaaarrrrgh. This skirt has no pockets and I forgot to bring a purse.

Today, we find out what evidence of misdeeds a Republican cop couldn’t overlook it well-it-might-be or define out of scope and a Republic can hack with a history of cover-ups can’t redact out of sight. Preceded, of course, by a few hours of spin to soften us up.

I’m probably going to ignore most of the coverage until I get home this afternoon and can start reading. I’ll start at CW’d thread then.

People who would claim that the wheel or the lever or whatnot is humankind's greatest invention seriously undervalue soft, fuzzy flannel PJs.

Some day a topology professor will explain the complicated contortions required to get my bra strap into this position.

I’m steaming a pound of broccoli to eat for dinner. That’s normal, right?

I haven't read the cited research, but given what we're already finding out about crime and led in petrol, is this really surprising? http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20190415-how-air-pollution-is-doing-more-than-killing-us

Have any cishets ever voluntarily listened to Erasure?

Remember, kids, when you give your data to some private social media company, you're giving valuable intel to people whose motives might not be acceptable to you and they can and will do whatever they like with it.

Yoda, you sweet, privileged creature, *not* having our minds on where we are or what we are doing is an essential defense mechanism for life in a shitty universe. I dream prettier than anything you will ever see.
