@Alfred recently a member of a well known band was stopped by the police. The officers didn't believe him when he told them who he was and called for mental health officers. Who was he?
Society often espouses the view that vulnerable things are bad, weak, shameful. (Trauma reinforces this).
Bullshit. Undo that bullshit.
Vulnerable things are alive, honest, courageous. Vulnerability undoes the false veils we hide in, empowering us to see one another, unite, love.
Defend, embrace, love vulnerable things. That’s what we all—all living things—really are.

This is tasty. Trump is in hot water in swing state Wisconsin for saying Milwaukee is "horrible" He's trying to wriggle out of it by claiming he was only talking about crime.
So he may be staying in Chicago during the convention:

There's a frustrating narrative that many pioneers of the modern LGBTQ rights movement were not actually trans.
This focuses on one of the best known: Marsha P. Johnson, and shows that she clearly understood herself to be a trans woman, even if the language differed in her lifetime. (Marsha was at the Stonewall riots.)
@tgraph52 Sinclair is pure evil. They read these things as if they were pure, straight news, and it's not just attacks on Biden; I have a few pictures I snapped on my phone of a Sinclair station in Arlington where they went from a local school festival to "the multi-million dollar transgenderism movement is secretly controlling your kids" with the same news tone.
Someone commented that it was the largest convention of people with vitiligo they have ever seen. 💀
