A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.

As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Davy = fact. Autocorrect is stupid
Just wanted to explain the absence from social media. We have still been producing the pod and putting out regular episodes tho. I just haven’t been on here or other social platforms to promote it because I’m honestly just hoping to lay low and unnoticed. Because being noticed seems terrifying atm.
There’s the fear of the hate and the sheer amount of dehumanizing comments and attitudes that lead to someone committing violence on our community. So yeah lots going on.
And of course there is also the Davy that my saying anything will probably not amount to much #transrights #babytrans #lgbtq
So I feel that alongside calling my representatives (futile I know but I have to) and writing to them and participating in trans community events I need to say something but there is real fear in that you know? Besides the fear of losing my employment for not fitting in or being too vocal
I am a #babytrans as they say. Only two months into my transition but 48 years into the personal struggle to accept myself and love myself as opposed to wanting to end myself. #transrightsarehumanrights #usagonecrazy #lgbtq
I try very hard to keep politics and social issues stuff out of the pod. Plus we are a tiny, itty bitty, zygote of a pod. Beneath the notice of all really. But, despite that I feel like I should still say something.
Sorry I’ve been quiet on here all. (This is Rob) But life here in the #unitedstates is just weird right now and I’ve been trying to make sense out of how someone like me is suddenly hated and living in fear and it feels like no one cares except those in the suck with me. #transrights #trans
So it’s fine if you and tons of others voted for trump then and now. I get it. I just hope that when the evidence is staring them in the face, they do what you did and wake up and turn that fervor against him instead of entrenching themselves because being wrong feels bad. No one likes to be wrong.
More often than not. They way people vote has very little to do with logic or metrics or evidence and almost exclusively about “vibes” (I hate using that term but it’s very apropos)

They vote for the person that makes them feel accepted and feel like the preconceived notions they have are valid

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it.

“When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.”

What do you do when you’re feeling way too lazy to get off the couch but still want to play your #pcgames ? Why you do some #backbonegaming of course! #pcgaming #genxgamer
I’d say the most terrifying aspect of water bending is blood bending.
Every element, when compressed like that, is utterly terrifying. Compressed fire? Plasma torch. Compressed earth? Diamond pick. Or metal pick if they know how to bend metal. Compressed wind? Same as water really. It’ll blow a hole right through you.
This week we do #ffxiv newest raid #jeunofirstwalk and answer the question: how many times can Matt die in one raid? #mmogaming #finalfantasyxiv #gamingpodcast
