You are cursing your trans children into a lifetime of hurt by not allowing them access before puberty. Take it from someone living that hurt.

While I wished we could have moved from Jodie directly into Ncuti (or, frankly, just stayed with Jodie), I am glad to see Donna back with David Tennant. She's my fave companion of the new series, and those two were just amazing.

Question: "Why are you so worried about visiting Texas, Jenn?"
Answer: https://travelwhiletrans.com/#/us/tx

Well. She may not be in violation of the SAG-AFTRA strike, she (and anyone working as a writer) is totally in violation of the WGA strike.

Half a scab is still a scab.

Growing up in San Antonio in the 80s, I walked to school because I enjoyed being alone. On my way, I walked through the woods (also storm drains) and gained a healthy love for forests and trees. That first scene of Frodo in the woods in Lord of the Rings? That was me.

I love love LOVE that San Antonio has turned a lot of my walks into parks and walkways through the woods. I miss being surrounded by trees, but knowing the walks are now protected makes me happy.

Sadly, my "home base" woods has been completely cleared out for flood control, but the rest is still there and open for everyone.

Usually, every September 11th, I post a link to an amazingly well done site that has researched pretty much everything about the attack and events leading up to it. Sadly, the site is gone and no longer updated, but it is archived at Archive.Org.

History Commons had a 9/11 timeline spanning from 1945 (when the Empire State Building was struck by a B-25) to 2018, each article referenced by a media link. It's an interesting (and reliable) read, with some surprising little known info, including a possible fifth plane that never made it into the air (United Flight 23).

Sad it hasn't been updated. It had some other timelines that could well serve us today.
