Went to the bakery near our house today, and the barista was also selling jewelry she makes, so for $25 I got this ring with a piece of Skaggs jasper, from the Ochoco mountains in Oregon.

Something I hear a lot from other trans people is “I wish democrats would stick up for us more forcefully.” And I’m on two minds about that. Like everyone else, I’d like the reassurance of knowing they see us and will fight for us. On the other hand…

There’s a scene in “It’s A Mad Mad Mad Mad World” where Milton Berle says of another character “if he’s not a crook, it’s only because he doesn’t have the brains or ambition even to become a crook,” and there are people I’ve used that to describe.

Uncut Gems. Brilliant film. Totally shut out at the Oscars. And Adam Sandler (I cannot believe I’m saying this) deserved a Best Actor nomination, and I think only didn’t get one because he’s Adam Sandler.

Every time I talk about my fears about the Texas Senate race, I hear this argument. “If Republicans win a senate seat in Texas by demonizing trans people, they’ll run every campaign on demonizing trans people!” I admit I find that argument utterly baffling. Do you think they’re not doing that now?

I always ask if people think hearing a digital piano programmed to play a concerto is the same as hearing my dad — who’s been playing for 79 years and still practices hours a day — do it. And funnily enough no one has ever agreed that it is.

Cat: "How do you pronounce 'GIF'?"
2. Jo is seen lying on her back. She is petting the cat, who is resting on Jo's torso. 
Jo: "Personally, i like to pronounce it like 'GIF' but I know a lot of people prefer saying it like 'GIF'."
Cat: "Ah, that's actually quite interesting!"
Jo: "I know, right?"
3. Close-up of the ragdoll cat and Jo as they both stare at the viewer. They both share giant cheeky grins. No words are spoken.

This is one reason I do it. Longtime readers who are old like me will remember that in the Bush era, I was a political cartoonist. I did that because I felt like my viewpoint was underrepresented. I was against the war, against Bush, for LGBT rights. Those positions were being shouted down.

The perfect way to put it. They found a way to worm a subscription between you and your normal work.
A screenshot of a post on Threads by Joe Hill. The post reads: "Here’s a thought about the purveyors of AI. They aren’t selling assistance—they’re selling dependency. You give up on acquiring one skill after another, give up on the knotty, meaningful struggle to acquire those skills and AI takes over. It isn’t freeing up time so you can make more of yourself. It’s encouraging cognitive surrender so you can be less."

The thread being screenshotted actually says “don’t vote for Dems and tell others not to.” Seriously. “Here is a map of how things have gotten worse for trans people, exclusively in red states, while democrats have held firm. This proves you should stop voting for democrats.” This is…deranged.

I consider myself very successful. I’ve felt that way for about a dozen years. Since my first Phoebe book blew up, basically. One unexpected benefit of that is, I stopped feeling like I had anything to prove to anyone. That was a big change.

“Shut up, my arguments against trans rights are TOTALLY NOT the same ones people used against gay rights 30 years ago.” 30 years ago I was hearing the same thing, except it was anti-gay people being like “shut up, ours are NOTHING like the arguments racists made against rights for black people.”

I consider myself living proof that everything the transphobic goblin in the screenshot believes is wrong. If my lifelong feeling that I’m actually female is a delusion, how come I’m much more emotionally and mentally healthy than I was before I started living as one?

Or maybe country music is itself a bubble, and the rest of us live outside of it. I wouldn’t say that about hip hop or any other popular genre. Country really is more cilturally sealed off from the rest of music culture in a way other popular music isn’t.

In out latest failed attempt to find a Nazi unicorn, we interviewed Dana Simpson, famous for being a unicorn, writing unicorn, and basically being an expert on the topic of unicorn. She says Nazis suck, she always thought Nazis suck, and every unicorn ever thinks Nazis suck. Her mane is fabulous.
