I'm so far behind, but I finished this book months ago, & needed a minute to absorb. Darkness by @robertaellis.bsky.social isn't a typical #mmromance. It won't follow the "boy-meets-boy & falls in love" setup. Cont'd 🧵👇

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster. Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture. S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies

The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

even if you don't give a shit about porn you should be doing your part to stop this. this is a direct attack on freedom of speech and the rights of LGBTQ+ people. queer peoples' existence is not pornography and neither is pornography evil. if you think this won't affect you, think again.

This whole speech is worth watching. So glad he’s is my Gov. He’s a billionaire, yes, but he’s taken his wealth & privilege & uses it to help ppl, create systems to better the future, & protect IL from harmful politics. That’s what ppl w/ that kind of $$ should be doing. Not raiding the treasury.
