I was at an airport today, and now I'm happy.

This Carbon Cub is going to become a good friend of my XCub pretty soon!

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Quick visit to the visa office is all it took. One of the few unrealistic parts of the show :)

I'm sure it was related. And if not directly, then someone's cousin was.

It's quite remarkable.

The Wall Street Journal. The Guardian. All the other outlets who failed to confirm their reporting.

I want to see fewer cowardly, shrugging "editor's notes" on these stories and more statements of "wow, we really failed in our reporting on a grave matter, and here's how we're going to do better."

These guys are behaving like they will never face consequences, almost like they know that somehow, the 'other side' will never be in power again.

Seen this going around but I’m
Reposting it with the full alt text bc everyone deserves to read this glorious reply from Boy George

A Twitter reply from Boy George to JKR. JKR said something predictably terfy.

Boy George’s reply:

This is your obsession and it's pretty relentless and for no reason. You don't get to decided who or what anyone is except when you write. In the real world people can and always will be what they want to be. You can't stop it but you can continue to make young kids lives more difficult. You are cruel JK, you have started to look cruel in pictures. All this obsession is wearing on your expression. The pictures of you mocking 'trans' people like Winston Churchill after the Supreme Court ruling. Your endless comments about how rich you are. It's depressing and tacky and proves you are desperate to mean something but sadly you are just being mean.
As my hilarious friend David Hoyle always says.
'Ladies & gentlemen and those of you still deciding. There are two type of people, nice people and c***s.
I do not expect any positive response and you will continue to be supported by women who see you as some kind of gender hero. Women are not better than men and men are not better than women. As a man, a biological one, rah, rah, I have no issue with a girl becoming a boy or the other way around. As a gay man who has worn make-up since 14 l had lived my entire life feeling awkward and afraid using male public toilets.
It's not easy being different and you are only making it harder. Why don't you buy a nice Scottish island or a farm and start a JK commune for traumatised Terfs. Or listen to your fellow Scott Sydney Banks and he will hopefully help you understand that this is all in your head.

Allyship matters. This is why being an ally is part of my identity. Everyone should feel like they belong. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

For noen kan et lite regnbueflagg bety at vi føler oss tryggere. Man ser flagget og tenker; « her kan jeg passe inn»
En enkel måte å vite at jeg også blir satt pris på.

Veldig fin video
