Ah Reddit. It should be known that giving even a sliver of power of moderation within it seems to turn a lot of people into grandiose douchebags with itchy trigger fingers. Hell, they have are subreddit on the drama of power vacuums and other soap opera behavior r/subredditdrama since it happens so many times.

Abortion aside, being a moderator is a shitshow. I was one on a popular site and something similar happened. It was site on relationship woes. I was a frequent commenter and then was made into a mod. Until another mod, became obsessed with me. Like obsessed. He first started by trying to start side conversations with…

No, it’s still considered money laundering. You can steal funds, money launderers have now converted it into a different asset, which they can sell as a loss. The loss is pretty much the cost of doing business, but once they get the payout the funds now look “clean” and can be converted back into cash.

Firstly: Yes, girl YES!
But secondly, I’m wondering if anyone has told “...local outlet, Advocate Magazine...” that they’re named after the world’s premier LGBT media organization.

I need more info on this girl, where is she going to college? What does she need? How do we keep this up??!!? As someone who is 41, who lives in California where my daughter will hopefully be able to get an abortion should she need one, we need to support these young people from red states. I think its the only hope…

Paxton Smith has all my respect. I hope the women in her class, and community recognize the bravery and truth of her words and rally around her because the backlash will likely be frightening and worse than we can imagine. I share the hope that abortion rights organizations seize this opportunity to lift her up and…

And, therefore, all people.

Or stays and tries to make it a better place for all women. 

As a former valedictorian, former Texan, and current abortion care worker: Hell to the Fucking Yes. What courage and smarts she has to do this. Talking about abortion bans in a valedictorian speech is gutsy even in a liberal state. To do so in Texas, even more so times ten.

Low stakes it’s not when you consider that for many of these girls are competing for scholarships. And in some less common sports the number of available scholarships in the state can be counted on one hand.

It is very frustrating. If I didn’t live in the city I do, I’d probably move. St. Pete is one of the most progressive cities in the country and I love it beyond all reason. That being said, the one to three time daily “Breaking News” alerts I get that this asswipe is putting on another circus aka Press Conference is…

Rounding down, approximately zero percent of high school athletes are going to actually go pro (and even fewer are going to go pro out of high school). Scholarships are a more realistic opportunity, but few high school athletes are even going to get that (only about 7% of high school athletes go on to play a varsity…

I think the NCAA requires that trans athletes be undergoing hormone treatment before they can participate in the sport corresponding to their gender. I believe the IOC has something similar. That seems like a fairly sensible policy for sports at the college level and above (I’m cis, incidentally). Below that, when…

I have a relative who is a transman. Testosterone has deepened his voice, increased his facial hair and packed on muscles. He looks like a man. He sounds like a man. He thinks like a man. He is a man.

The hilarious part of that story is that the race Soule sued over she finished SIXTH in. So even if the trans girls who finished 1st and 2nd had been banned from competing, she would have finished fourth and not gotten a medal. Like, I could ALMOST understand the frustration if you were denied a gold medal because of…

Dolly must have some heavy-duty skin care products, because my skin breaks out if I haven’t washed my face before bed.

I have good news as an update to my dispatch last Saturday: the job offer came through and I was able to put in notice at my strenuous current employment with some days off in between to recharge before the next gig, which sounds much better. I’ve scheduled some fun stuff already and very much looking forward to it…

I made humming bird cake!

Sorry, but these men and women who stormed the Capitol are not being tried for their ability to be duped, but for their actions. They actually stormed the Capitol, so they need to reap the consequences.
