I don’t want to make this about me but .. two days ago, I told someone off for using the word tran*y and was instead subjected to more transphobic commentary, and this was someone who I was close to, and I was coming out to them. I identify as genderqueer and this interview & along with what I had to go through two…

I posted this above, but I feel like you would appreciate it too:

People are so effing lazy. It’s like those assholes that leave their shopping cart in the lot because they can’t be bothered to walk 5 fucking feet to put it back properly. Geezus! This poor kid.

I don’t want to hijack the thread, because these stories are amazing (and almost uniformly sad). I have a request, though — I’m the father of a 9-year-old daughter, and I’m genuinely curious if there’s anything I can do to help prepare her for what’s coming.

Listen to me, WishBone of Arc: you can walk away right now, without looking into this. You will be better off if you just decided that LadyGrinningSoul was exaggerating. Or lying, even. Tell youself she lied and walk away right now.

Hey, family, good news...

Larry has written in Bernie Sanders for decades!

this is very true. most dems are republicans at this point. that’s why warren looks WILDLY PROGRESSIVE when she’s all ‘i really like the idea of kids not going into debt for their education’

I like to think that Larry didn’t want people voting for Hillary because she isn’t progressive enough. Larry was more of an Elizabeth Warren guy.
