While setting up a "Wrapround Wednesday" for the Comico Comics Celebration I came across Lancer/Yellow Dancer's debut episode.
Oh, Yellow. My first real in depth look at a gender bending character (even before Boy George, mainly because I thought they were a cis girl at the time).
I knew I was trans at the time, and while I didn't put the trans label on Yellow/Lancer, it was nice to see. Especially when we got to episode 71 which explains Yellow's origin as a survival tactic and the fact that Lancer lived as a woman (And enjoyed it) for some time.
That kind of positive influence was something I needed at the time I realized I'd literally just figured out I was trans, even if I didn't have the vocabulary for it.
Oh, hey! New Ghostbusters movie coming! Looks like a mix of the original cast and the "new kids."
Still looks more serious than comedy, which is something I think they forgot about in the last movie, but I'm in.
DO YOU EVEN KNOW THE HISTORY OF THEATRE, TEXAS?!

Tuesday is Election Day, and while most of the nation isn’t paying much attention, there are four states where the vote plays outsized importance. I cover that in today’s Political Lightning Round. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/a-political-lightning-round-ahead?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Trump is already talking about using the Insurrection Act on his first day in office, if he is reelected, to put down any civil protests. I can’t stress this enough. No matter what you think of Biden, his age, his policies, he is no dictator. He believes in democracy. We cannot let Trump anywhere near the White House again.
@zx3 - Back in the 2000s when IW as job hunting, I'd walk into an in-person interview, and would get "The Look."
The Look was that look of "Oh, god, a trans person." And I'd lost the job before I said anything. I'd have appreciated just them telling me "get out" rather than spend 15 minutes knowing I wouldn't get my foot through their door.
