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

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. 💜

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.

Except for hating the Republican ass clowns that are our domestic terrorist enemies.

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

#Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR)
