when you tell a trans person that we are brave, you are reminding us that it requires bravery to exist as a trans person, that we are under threat, that many (including you?) would not choose to live as we live, or to be as we are (as if it was a choice for us)
do you think we need these reminders?

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

"Silent mode off" is a weird way to say it, doesn't "sound mode on" make more sense?

Settle in for a chilly winter around D.C., but snowfall looks modest
Our forecast calls for 8 to 14 inches of snow in the D.C. area, and up to a foot and a half in colder spots north and west of the city.

The strike is not about whether or not you approve of Starbucks coffee. It's about the workers, who like all workers deserve equitable treatment and fair pay. That is the issue. Why bring up your personal feelings about the coffee? Nobody in this conversation cares. Start another thread about it.

I am just gutted by the thought of all the innocent people harmed by powerful men (and occasionally women) operating with seeming impunity

Avoiding any mention of those emails as a survivor of sexual assault is perfectly okay. You don't actually have to subject yourself to triggering shit to care about it.
Be gentle on yourselves, pals. You know your limits. No one else does.

really getting tired of how "just being aware of what's going on" at an even superficial level makes one sound like an absolute conspiracy nut if you try to talk about any of it to someone who's simply not following the news closely

Reminds me of a newspaper executive who once asked me "why do we need copy editors?"
“Standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She asks ‘What’s the point of standards?’

Bring back Dalton or Brosnan for a one-off "Old Man Bond" film and give him a line where he says, "wait, you found someone actually named James Bond to replace me? Poor devil. How did it end for him? Badly? Well with a name like that I should think so."
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
