So today is exactly one year since I came out socially. What a year it has been.

A secret hobby of mine is making crosswords so I'm going to start posting them here. Anyone is free to download/print them and I'm happy to share answers by DM! This one is Boogie Time. Difficulty is like a themed Friday. This was my first ever puzzle and I love the result, but it is quite tough.

This website extremely prepared me for class?? It's a labor law class and we spent the first day talking about SC decisions: Cook, Slaughter, Callais, Raimondo, Janus, etc. The exact same stuff the nerds on this website have love to dissect in detail.

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Hook and Squeeze
How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

'When the sun rises, we are going to be in shock': Thousands evacuated in north Spokane as wildfire crosses river into city
Walls of flames destroyed dozens of homes and other structures in the Indian Trail neighborhood and more areas of Spokane on Saturday amid one of the worst natural disasters in the city’s history.

I talked to my family in Spokane and everyone is alright. But there are massive evacuation orders, and the city is shutting off power to whole neighborhoods to get people to leave. I'm hoping the fire doesn't hit Five Mile because that's a large suburb in a prairie, aka a complete tinder box.

The biggest lesson I've learned from my union is someone has to do the work. Doesn't matter how correct you think your plans/ideology/support are: if nobody is doing the work, it's not going to get done, and if it doesn't get done, it doesn't matter at all how "right" you were.

i will not forget the men who downplayed the earlier allegations of abuse against platner and said accepting them was just the price we had to pay to gain control of the senate. i hope they feel like fucking assholes.

beyond him dropping out, we need to reckon with the fact that people spent this long defending him. the maine left really destroyed whatever integrity it had so it could pretend having a fucking totemkampf wasn't bad and domestic violence was ok. its good if people turn on him now, but come on

The NPS will launch 850,000 fireworks in the middle of the night. (Last year, they launched 7,000) That will dump perchlorates and heavy metals into the Potomac River and cause the amount of soot and smoke particles to skyrocket (pardon), at great danger to any creature that breathes.

Lost in the discourse about establishment dems/centrists vs progressives/DSA is only one of those sides is knocking doors. Putting aside ideology for a second, DSA mobilized volunteers to knock 100,000+ doors for their candidates. That is as much their secret sauce as their broadly popular platform.

Liberal Hollywood should start making counterpart films as absurd as this. A bunch of hick car dealership owners think it's woke and transgender to treat city water, and after half the town keels over from cholera an aid group of immigrant Ivy League doctors cures them for free. Roll credits.

Very grim how many people are defending Platner after the newest scandal, and I can't help but notice that they're virtually all men. His behavior is inexcusable.
