Pissed off liberal mom. Proud wife to my wifey. The 808 State is in my blood. I will never stop learning, reading, gaming or fighting fascists.
She/her
Met my neighborhood Karen at 6am on Saturday morning. She was pounding on my door so hard it knocked the curtain rod off the door. She was also rage pressing my video doorbell button.
I went and opened the door thinking she might need help.
Nope. She indignantly asked me how I liked being woken up at 6 am in the morning and screamed that my dogs were waking her up at 6 am every morning.
Plot twist.
I don't have any dogs.
Hate against #transgender people isn't relegated to the #US.
Due to #politicians passing laws against, and media outlets ignoring #science and spreading lies about #trans people, murder rates are way too high worldwide.
None of these trans people should have died. We need to stop the hate to save lives.
Please remember Erika Quintana Ávalos, a 31-year-old #Peruvian #transwoman killed in #Moche, #Peru on January 21, 2023.
This is fascinating! The Braille Institute has developed a font - free to download - that's designed to be clearer for readers with lower vision.
An example of one of the aspects of low legibility that they tackled attached.
It's named Atkinson Hyperlegible. Atkinson was the Institute's founder - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Robert_Atkinson

One of the very few sports events I will watch IF it happens at all.
Potential is there every winter in Hawai'i. Only happened 9 times in the past 34 years.
Eddie would go.
West Virginia is doubling down on their transgender bans. Today they introduced another bill, SB278. This bill, if passed, would fine trans people no less than $1,000 and up to 6 months in jail for just going out in public. Absolutely terrifying.

Y’all I really don’t think you understand how dire this year is for #trans people. We are now at 134 anti-LGBTQ proposed state bills in 18 days. We have had 4 passed to floor votes with one of those already passing a floor vote.
- 51 banning gender affirming care
- 21 banning trans people from sports
- 21 Don't Say Gay/Forced Outing
- 15 Banning Drag
- 7 Eliminating legal recognition of trans people
In 2022, there was widespread discrimination against #transgender people.
Even the #NewYorkTimes contributed to #discrimination in opinion pieces.
Every day this year, please remember a transgender person who lost their life.
None of these #trans people should have died. We need to stop the hate to save lives
Today, please remember Marisela Castro, a 39-year-old #latina #transwoman who was killed in #Houston, #Texas on July 29, 2022
On our Vegas holiday vacay, my nieces taught me there were these things called "croc charms". Them things are expensive!
Alas, yes. I bought them the expensive ass "croc charms" they wanted. (They have me wrapped around their little fingers and they know it.)
At least I now know how my mother felt when I was a kid and wanted another 20 erasers from the Sanrio (Hello Kitty) store.
