It is kinda damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you don't keep up to speed on what's going, you could wind up fucked by the bigots, and if you wade in too deep you can get overwhelmed.

I was scared for a long time, too. After I nearly died, I decided I'd rather be happy for the time I am here than hiding in fear.

If you're aware of this, then why do you question what's currently going on? There's a multinational campaign against trans people. Organizations that study genocides have been sounding alerts.

I don't even use it when talking about slowing down the timing on an engine, because while it is the technical industry term I don't want people to misunderstand what I am saying.

Nazis didn't start with extermination camps. That didn't start until 1941, a full 8 years into Nazi control. Instead, Nazis spent years vilifying via propaganda and passing laws criminalizing their opponents.

Honestly, I could see where a woman could exclaim that (not talking men, because ewww, men...). They are something that others could be envious of.

Restraint is to be respected and applauded, but we would have respected and applauded your lack of restraint too.

Any person with eyes and taste would say that.They're spectacular.

Not even with someone else's penis.

I would. I mean, you're stunningly beautiful, plus wicked sense of humor and so intelligent.

God, you're gorgeous.

How are they better than Green? Also, how are they not wrecking things for trans folk?

Dead trans adults.

Totally adorbs!

I realize that. I am just trying to figure out what mechanisms he could have worked with to prevent her from performing there.

Could he have had permits revoked for the event if she still participated?

I've been sexually assaulted twice. Neither person was someone I was attracted to, but instead that they forced themselves on me. Both times I was cornered without realizing it, because I hadn't seen it coming.

After some bullying from friends, we then finally went out. 6 months later we were married.

Now I don't recommend getting married that quickly, but health insurance things sped up our plans. Funny thing is, the weekend we found out she was losing her health insurance, we were ring shopping.

After my late wife died, I didn't think I would date. I mean, y'all have seen the modern dating scene, it is all swipe left and right, with no actual attempt at connection. Then I met my current wife at a widow support group. At first we were just friends, but then things developed.

I am gay, full stop. Sorry boys, I'm not bi.

I don't blame you. Unfortunately, not many places I can go. I'm one generation too far out for Ireland. My wife is working on stuff for Canada.

I'm thinking I'm just going to have to hole up, bunker down, and see if I go out like it is Ruby Ridge

Don't blindly trust AltNP, they've been caught making stuff up before.

You're leaving Colorado?

I do! I even shared it with friends who aren't on Bluesky!

I've had Protestants tell me that Catholics didn't believe in Jesus. I'm fucking Catholic, I would know if I believed in Jesus or not.

Yeah, that card got played when they sent letters to everyone who had changed gender markers. The letters started going out just a couple days after the Senate overrode the veto. How could they do that if they weren't keeping track?

Unfortunately, it flew under the radar for most.

I really just need to see with my LFCS if I can have stuff auto added to my pull list if you wrote it.

This past week the Trump Admin is asking for all the medical records of employees from their insurance company. Kansas was found to be tracking trans people. Tennessee Senate today is hearing a bill that will create a transgender registry, and that bill already passed the house

Be vigilant, be safe

The counter intel program that Juno talks about here is a very real thing that the FBI has been found doing multiple times. There is nothing to stop them from doing it again. We need to be weary of what they may do in the future.

Most people are taught that the Black Panthers were violent criminals, but that was largely BS. The Black Panthers were trying to protect and improve their communities, and the government actively resisted them. The criminal storyline is propaganda, and any who did get charged largely were acquitted
