"Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom - poets, visionaries realists of a larger reality."
-Ursula K. Le Guin

With New Momentum, Republican States Push Broader Limits for Trans Americans In states that once focused mainly on health care and sports for transgender minors, debates now revolve around the validity of transgender identity.

The subheadline on this NYT piece is going to turn me into the Joker.

Like... this... is exactly what trans people have been saying was going to happen for years.

Child abuse?

You'd think so, wouldn't you - but Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office i.e. something over which the UK Director of Public Prosecutions has jurisdiction. This is tangential to the debacle in the USA.

Andrew was arrested for messing with the country's money, not child rape. Proving that there is a bigger chance of financial fraud bringing people down than the trafficking horrors. Same as it ever was.

Read this before going to this morningβ€˜s Ash Wednesday Eucharist, which was beautiful and where my vicar invited me to administer the ashes to him, and honestly, I have thought about the line β€˜Courage is visible. Hope has taken flesh. β€œI am coming to the cottage.” a lot today.

What an absolutely incredible half time show, so proud to be Latin-American. Bad Bunny/Benito not only made Puerto Rico proud, he made America and all Latin people everywhere proud. πŸ’™πŸ‡΅πŸ‡·πŸ‘Š

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Everybody has it backwards.

Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.

They’re creating a world they control completely
