I came across this several years ago, when I first started to transition. It still hits hard.

Why, yes, ethics reports about our elected officials SHOULD be public.
Can't believe I'm actually agreeing with the howler monkey.

Today is and my thoughts immediately go to our CoSo friend Mouses. She was loved by many of us here, as she shared her life and brightness with us all.

We love and miss you Mouses. 💜

While Day of Remembrance is officially about those we've lost through direct violence, I choose to expand it.

We lose many more Trans people (and other groups) to indirect violence - suicide. Those who choose this option aren't doing so because the world is all sunshine and flowers. Their world and hope has been whittled away until they see no other option but to sleep forever.

Forced micro-dosing of hate & violence can kill you as easily as an asshole with a gun.

Currently watching my manager and the project manager for the proposal I'm on very politely bitching each other out.

It's really clear that they're frustrated with each other, and the exchange is amusing.

(All pretty low stakes stuff about the process.)
