I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
Grifters be griftin
I have lots of huntsman spiders in my house and I always have to inform guests they are FRIENDS. Some are as big as a hand. But they do not bother people. They eat wasps, cockroaches, and mosquitos. I call them the staff of my manor. :)
Arrived in the US of Dumb.
I was super prepared. Logged out of services. Encrypted my Linux drive. Removed biometrics from my devices....
Steeled myself for being detained and having my passport confiscated as the orange turd threatened.
...and it didn't happen. Fully automated photo matching.
Never liked Planter from the get go. Do not understand why people are taken in by the grift.
It was a very good campaign. Better than Beto's by a lot. We will see if it carries.
This is not a bit. I have in fact two actual horns. A small bore tenor and a symphonic tenor with a Thayer valve F trigger.
We are in the dumbest timeline.
Just a constant Black Mirror or The Orville Earth Like Parody Planet episode over and over and over and over.

I made an Unknown Unknowns joke to my trombone instructor a few weeks back.
It was a sign.
Yeah that's the shit

So I'm fully back to playing trombone after 23 years.
Wait. Playing trombone seriously.

Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.
So it’s early 1934 in this re-run and already the public identification of trans people is becoming law.
Let alone the cis people who only had incorrect gender markers because of clerical mishaps.
My father only learned his name was mixed up because they put the wrong names on the lines when he joined the military and they told him he wasn't legally who he had grown up being.
These things happen.
I already know of several intersex people who do not identify as trans or GNC who are running into issues after a lifetime of seeing themselves as cis or "normal except for that thing I was born with and corrected." They didn't realise the fight included them. They do now.
As there is no difference in such certificates for clerical errors, intersex conditions, or folks who identify as trans, is Kansas just gonna fuck over cis people whose hospitals of states fucked up decades ago?
My guess is maybe yes!
I wonder how this affects those who moved to Kansas, changed their gender marker, but now have a correct birth certificate.
My sex assigned at birth is female. That's what my birth certificate says, and Illinois will tell you to pound sand if you try to assert previous documents as correct.
Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.
Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.
My weirdest creation is almost old enough to drink.
Yeah, but that's why I stayed. For all of the rightward political posturing and mulling mulling mulling, things are very predictable and stable here. Mundane is nice.
