A donkey, who in US symbolism typically represents a democrat or the democratic party, is standing in a doorway shaking a first at a woman wearing the colors of the trans pride flag and a black eye. She is slightly hunched and caring a bag. The donkey is shouting, in comic sans "Bitch you better not leave! What are you going to live in the streets and vote for nobody? You'll regret this! I'LL SEE YOU IN THE CAMPS BITCH!"

There's a hand written caption along the bottom reading "Vote Blue No Matter How Many Times He Hits You"

Alt text is making me crazy today, why can't we just attach it to a file? I'm spend more time describing this one frame over and over than I spent drawing it. Also the entry field keeps slipping behind my screen keyboard. 

Anyway the art is sloppy and rushed and I wished I'd included the phrase "I'm the best you'll ever have" into the donkey's rant.

"I know they don't support separate drinking fountains in New York and California and other coastal states but if a Democrat needs to back separate but equal facilities in Alabama to win, progressives should just hold their tongues" - how you sound defending Democrats opposing trans equality

Whenever a beloved celebrity dies, I check to make sure they weren’t transphobic. Gloria Steinem went from Transsexual Empire-inspired transphobia in the 70s to full support in later life. Heroes change their opinions when they realize they’re wrong. www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...
Anti-trans views and reconsideration
In February 1977, amid increasing anti-trans sentiment surrounding transgender athletes in general and Renée Richards in particular, Steinem published an anti-trans article titled
"If the Shoe Doesn't Fit, Change the Foot." Steinem claimed "transsexuals are paying an extreme tribute to the power of sex roles. In order to set their real human personalities free, they surgically mutilate their own bodies..." Steinem also embraced the conspiracy theory of "the transsexual empire" promoted by Janice Raymond.
In 2013, Steinem addressed z "words circulated out of time and context" from those previous writings:
So now / want to be unequivocal in my words: / believe that transgender people, including those who have transitioned, are living out real, authentic lives. Those lives should be celebrated, not questioned. Their health care decisions should be theirs and theirs alone to make. And what / wrote decades ago does not reflect what we know today as we move away from only the binary boxes of "masculine" or "feminine" and begin to live along the full human continuum of identity and expression.
In 2021, Steinem signed an open letter supporting trans women and girls, saying, "I am proud to sign this letter because we all must fight against the unnecessary barriers placed on trans women and girls by lawmakers and those who co-opt the feminist label in the name of division and hatred."

Until very recently, the word “woke” conveyed something beautiful: political awakening in the context of the African-American liberation struggle. The way it has been forcibly stripped from that context and transformed into a ubiquitous term of derision is shockingly cruel & inherently anti-black 1/

I ended up having more extended thoughts on Dolly Parton over on Facebook and I thought I would share them here as well.
When I was much younger, I knew her mostly as a caricature and the object of jokes, because young men are kind of stupid that way and I was no exception, and because she willingly played along with the joke, in part because she knew it would happen anyway, and this way she got to shape some of how that would play out for her, and use it for her own ends. It took me a while to realize how canny that was. 

When I got older, I learned that underneath the caricature was a formidable songwriting and business mind. I had an inkling of what a rare combination that was in any person, but how even more rare it was for someone who was who she was, in the field and environment she worked in. Hidden in all those sparkles was a spine of steel. 

When I got older than that I learned that in addition to a brilliant mind was a heart of kindness, which directed so much of the good fortune she amassed to herself right back out the door through philanthropic work, helping those in her communities, state and country, and which allowed to see the worth and dignity in those whom so many others treated (and still do treat) with contempt.

She was always all the things she was. What changed was my ability to see and understand who she was. I'm glad I was eventually smart enough to see it all.

Today is July 25th, often celebrated as the fall of Italian fascism. Mussolini passed draconian controls over pasta production which he considered decadent and overly reliant on foreign grain. Today, we celebrate his fall with a simple, defiant partisan dish: 1) Pasta 2) Creamy butter 3) Parmesan
