Finally reading through the Foundation series for the first time. Ask why if you actually have the time. Asimov's style reads like someone who collected a lot of "gotchas" that he never got to use in real life, so he wrote a bunch of books so he could insult everyone who ever misunderstood him.

It’s important to understand how the right’s obsession with “protect the children” is a smokescreen to push through policies to legislate the existence of all queer people, but particularly targeting trans people. It doesn’t stop when a person turns 18.

Katie is up to $465 which doesn't get them far enough for the deposit on their new apartment. If you have a spare $5 or $10, will you please throw it towards getting a trans woman abused and disenfranchised by her family and her wife, a victim of multiple sclerosis, a stable home? #MutualAid

Ty for all the shares, they have had 3 donations totaling $165 so far, only enough to cover an apartment application. Please share and help me get this up to $600 which would cover their deposit! They only have 2 weeks before they could be homeless.
