Boosting the shit out of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enabling_Act_of_1933 - Because y'know, THIS IS JUST WHAT FUCKING HAPPENED TODAY.
Ye gods, I hope if #aliens are passing by, they just nuke the fucking planet and put us all out of our misery.
Portland, OR!
There’s a call to head to City Hall with camping gear tonight to protest the camping ban. I hear there may even be a drag show at 9pm!

So how do we actually build resilient communities? Asking for a few generations of trans people who are about to lose everything. #uspol #TransRights
An argument I’ve been trying to make in my writing about “Project 2025”:
A second Trump term would be worse not only because the radical Right would be better prepared, but also because they would be operating under much more favorable circumstances.
With a much more extreme Supreme Court, for instance. 1/

Ugh. Having to listen to people set off fireworks tonight like they have no idea what happened today just feels beyond the pale right now.

My birthday is coming up. You know...if you...wanna...yeah....
The Presidency was always meant to be an equal power alongside Congress and the Supreme Court. And most of all, the President was never meant to be above the law. The changing of the presidency towards kingship, begun in the Nixon administration, is now here.

This Week's Fancy Pants Meal: Meatballs Niezgocki
I has this at a Christmas LGBT Potluck last year, and it was FANTASTIC to the point I had to seek out who made it and grab the recipe. Turns out, it's SUPER simple with one exception: You need a crock pot.
I don't have one, and seeing as this was the first time I needed one, I don't really need to get one. But I did need to find a substitute. After finding a site that told you how to "convert" crock pot instructions to dutch oven instructions, I ended up burning the heck out of them last week.
This week, though, I just followed the crock pot instructions instead of the conversion, and they came out GREAT. They're a bit of a carb-bomb, though, so be careful. :)

We can fight for a better and more equitable future for everyone AND VOTE. This isn't an either/or, you need to do both. This isn't about idealism, it's about survival for a large amount of people. I get it, I don't love it either, but a good amount of life is choosing the lesser of two evils, there are no utopias. Maybe you're lucky, and come from a place of privilege, and Trump being President won't really effect you, but here's a group of people who will be affected:
Women
People of Color
Disabled
Children
Vets
LGBTQ+
Immigrants
Homeless
Poor People
