Wouldn’t it be great if every Congressperson were out there, boosting important spaces like this one?

Such a wonderful week at home! Including our visit to the @tgrcnm.bsky.social. This center is an amazing resource that provides safe spaces to connect, get access to healthcare, casework, housing, and hot meals, a donation closet, and so much more!

Thank you TGRC for the incredible work you do! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️

Yeah, "fancy biglaw firms are unwilling to rock the boat" is not exactly news.

I also have pretty awful dysphoria about it and similarly refuse to use any euphemisms for it.

Hoping that the people at the carol sing at a neighbouring parish listen to me and don't do "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" again this year.

Had to listen to that word while literally sitting in a pew in front of four Inuk children. Totally unacceptable.

Told a YouTuber to stop using the E slur in their video. Now got people telling me off.

Just another day being Indigenous and trying to tell folks to use human decency

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

You need to know that stretches of "this sucks" & "I suck" & "this is impossible" & "it's not worth it" are normal parts of trauma recovery that every survivor experiences.

Don't overreact. Just meet it all w/ compassion, patience, & acceptance, & focus on the next choice point.

considering that back in the day I made a bunch of trope pages that have since become really massive, I'm getting paid for this right?

they're paying the users who did the actual work of making everything on there?

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea
