Seems like a good time to re-up this post. It is a list of 26 Dems at the statewide/national level that have made anti-trans statements or voted anti-trans policies. I do not advocate for abstaining from all of the ones on this list, but if the worst offenders who call us “biological men,” I do.

If you're trying to propose to people with trans children in their lives that their lives are a worthwhile sacrifice for other Democratic priorities, consider whether you'd be convinced that your children should be sacrificed for the greater good of someone else's family.

Hurricane Dolly now has a high chance of forming in the Tropical Atlantic.

In an unbelievable coincidence, Dolly is the next name on the Atlantic hurricane list, and country music legend Dolly Parton passed away today at age 80 in Nashville, Tennessee.

Invest 96L currently has a 70% chance of development as it moves across the Tropical Atlantic.

If this system becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Dolly.

#DollyParton #9to5 #RIP
A black & white headshot of Roger Ebert next to a quote, black text on a white background. The quote reads:

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and
on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted
a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a
strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was
healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact
same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this
mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”
