I may not have understood the words, but I totally understand the dynamic.
For my dear #transgender friends here & IRL and especially the deeply talented gender non-conforming folk in our Onlea.org company. Today and all days, together, #WeRemember #TransDayOfRemembrance #TDOR
I've seen similar programs in Italy before. Typically, you need to prove that you have the funds to renovate the property, and may need to prove you have the income or funds to live there.
But it's definitely intriguing.
Today is #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance 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. 💜
Because there's no algorithms, it's really hard to monetize your presence here. Not that we don't support the endeavors of people here, but it requires actual engagement and it's just not going to be at a level where people can make a living from it.
Folks who rely on their social media to generate income give up on CoSo quickly. Though I keep hoping some will just hang out because they value the interactions.
I absolutely consider suicide due to lack of acceptance and outright bigotry to be a form of murder.
While #Transgender 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.
Some of those AI recipes are even deadly... most are just boring.
10 truths I know
1. It's the grid, stupid.
2. Immigration lifts all boats.
3. Prohibitions don't work, regulation does.
4. The US federal government cannot run out of money, just as a baseball team cannot run out of points.
5. Continuous economic growth is a cancer.
6. 16 inches of topsoil is all that stands between you and extinction.
7. There ain't NO away, to throw stuff.
8. Cars bad, trains good, bikes better, walking best.
9. Plastic is a crime.
10. Love is not a noun, it's a verb.
Today is Transgender Rememberance Day. Hug your family and friends, let them know they are loved and supported and deserve a place in the world. #LGBTQ #transrightsarehumanrights
At best, they'll pick one nominee to sacrifice. But I mostly see Republicans rubberstamping them. I thought Gaetz would be that one, but we'll see.

Yeah, they're already being vicious. And we know MTG can be really persistent with her bullying.
Great list. Several are intriguing.
I love this guy's shorts about his Octopi pets.
