When I checked this week, my registration was gone. Durham County, NC voter in good standing for many years, and I was no longer a registered voter.

Your periodic reminder that the decision to pursue a professional ballet career happens at similar or earlier age to most youth gender affirming care and has significantly more lifetime impact on peer socialization, how the body looks and overall health than social transition and puberty blockers.

This morning's sky.
Morning sky over a low silhouetted horizon of trees and rocks and hillsides. Reds and oranges spread on either side of a just-risen sun. Blue-grey clouds stretch out toward blue sky at the top of the frame.

What I don't get with the whole "AI is sentient" slop that they're trying to sell us is--surely if AI were sentient, it would be a living being and as such humans wouldn't be allowed to exploit AI with no pay, no rest and no workers rights?

My feelings are that winning a statewide election in Alabama is always going to be a lift for a Dem, and I won't be crushed or demoralized if we fail. But Tuberville is trying really hard to lose and I think people underestimate how mad folks are about the VRA & what SCOTUS did to us.

A U.S. Army psychologist Gustave M. Gilbert interviewed Nazi war criminals on trial at Nuremberg and famously wrote in his 1950 book, "Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy." It was the *lack* of empathy that made the Holocaust possible.

I am not a romance writer (yet, you never know) but I like including romance plots in my own writing and I like reading romance novels, especially queer romance and writing good romance takes tons of skill. It's tired and boring to see people continually put down this genre.
