iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I notice that none of the men in my life react like their comfort must come first in a discussion of how abusive men are. Wonder why that is. Maybe they're solid knowing they're not abusive and aren't rapists and don't support them and don't need to make it all about themselves. Who knows.

There is an overarching mystery connecting the series, but each book contains a stand alone mystery that is solved so you're not left feeling like you're left hanging.

Let's fix that. The first three are an omnibus now, so it's easy to get started without feeling like an ATM. The Waverly Jones books are delightful. Our times aware, ACAB, character forward mysteries for the angry. If you yearn for justice but you live in the bad timeline, these are for you.

Tho I actually like this post better. IMO, one smart response to these ads is to taunt GOP MoCs that Trump is still sitting on mountains of $$ and instead using taxpayer dollars to remind voters what a corrupt asshole he is.

The inept White House political propagandists are using our money on government-sponsored campaign TV ads for the sinking GOP. The latest commercial tries to rally the dwindling MAGA base by reminding them that Trump once posed as a fighter against warmongers and a corrupt political establishment, but the recycled ad just sharply reminds everyone that the lying Trump is the war-maker-in-chief and presides over the most corrupt presidential administration in U.S. history. You can’t use our tax dollars to fool us.

Jamie Raskin calls out the shitty ads as a crime (this was cited by CNN and other stories). This is the kind of Xitter post that I beg of @raskin.house.gov or other MoCs to cross-post over here -- not least bc more people over here are likely to magnify it.

@RepRaskin
This may be felony criminal theft and conversion of government property for political campaign purposes. 18 U.S.C. § 1641. It is a Hatch Act violation for any government employees who worked on it or used government resources to make it. It is blatantly unethical under numerous federal ethics provisions proscribing the use of government resources for political campaigns.

And I don't mean this in an "everyone is a little gay" way. Maybe you're 100% het. But you are sort of un-straightening yourself in this process and you need to be able to say "yeah? So what?" Otherwise, you will be caught between wanting to help, and letting yourself be passively weaponized.

I think that a big piece of this is needing to surmount internalized homophobia. Not HATING gay/trans people. Afraid of being punitively homosexualized by others for involving oneself with us, especially with trans women. There could be consequences, but you have to be kind to yourself too.
