I really wish I didn't have to care about US politics, but seeing Mamdani run on an explicitly pro-LGBT, pro-immigrant platform and win has been the first little glimmer of hope I've seen in a long time. Maybe y'all aren't quite as utterly fucked as I thought.

This is absolutely fucking reprehensible.
I don’t know if this applies outside the US, but if you’re connected to any nonprofit org, or any group that could be *considered* a nonprofit org, I’m going to suggest checking this out, because this is horrific.

As a foodie, there are some dishes that you just always love, and some venues that you will always defend. This is neither of them.
This came out of left field and blew me away. The last dish I had from this restaurant was pedestrian, but this version steak was exquisite.

At times like this, it's difficult to find the words yourself, and one feels the need to reach out and borrow the eloquence of a legend.

Yep. The very second you decide it’s okay to take rights away from trans people, you’ve decided that taking rights away from anyone is an okay thing to do.
A precedent will be set - either human beings deserve human rights or they don’t. Only naive dipshits think they can pick and choose.
