Yes, there are many others to blame — even more directly — but The Atlantic and The New York Times platformed and mainstreamed those voices in America, and now trans children and their families are paying the price.

Oh yeah, I never think anything is going to be “the thing” that finally pushes everyone too far anymore. I truly think the only thing that’s going to stop him is that which will stop all of us eventually.

We are having the same issue this year! Weird MFF

My mother would have- with my oldest sibling. But then if she had survived that, she would’ve died giving birth to me. Both of us were breach babies.

Your vision sounds a lot like my wife’s. She’s been using a stick for the last couple of years and it’s really improved her quality of life. There really isn’t a point where you are “disabled enough” to use aids. You should use them when they will help you.

She is a disgrace to our profession

You’re right, I misspoke. Haven’t had my coffee yet.

Is decriminalizing hemp part of the deal? I’m trying to find a source for this, but coming up empty.

I was 19 years old. I’d just realized I was a Lesbian. My neighbors were debating whether I was a second class citizen, unworthy of a normal life. Then they all voted that I was and I didn’t. I felt so betrayed, so angry. I moved on, and moved away, but the memory of that election still rankles.

Like I said, I’d like to see the data on it. I could see driverless cars eventually being safer - especially compared to non-professional drivers. But I’m not exactly holding my breath.

I am not at all opposed to getting away from car culture, as long as we invest in public transit infrastructure at the same time- especially if we prioritize disability access. But, alas, I don’t think it’s ever gonna happen.

I doubt that we will ever be in a position to have no deaths on account of cars. If driverless cars cause less death I could see myself eventually supporting them. But I want to see that data first.

Weirdly, opposite issue for me. I have low impulse control and it’s better for vendors to have as few barriers as possible between me and giving them my money. I should probably be encouraging not putting prices up - for the sake of my wallet!

As a frequent con-goer, I usually pass on tables if I can’t see the price. Either the person running the table is busy with customers and I don’t want to interrupt them, or they are not busy and I don’t want the awkwardness of deciding not to buy right in front of them if it’s too expensive.

Make sure you order it as a Chicago Handshake. You’ll want the chaser.
