it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

I remain authentic to who I am and a large part of the past 4.5 years for me has been my sobriety journey. I think I’ve been an inspiration to many that if I could get sober, anyone can do it.

But just when you think it’s easy, it ain’t. I briefly relapsed. I say this to admit my mistake and publicly hold myself accountable. I am a human being who makes mistakes and it doesn’t make me a bad person. I hope those who are around me support my choice to be sober.

I went back to Day 1, again. 

Time didn’t stop, my journey continues.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

The Democrat who just flipped a very Trumpy seat in Pennsylvania’s Senate made opposition to Elon Musk front and center in his campaign. (lancasteronline.com/news/politic...)
Malone said Saturday that his campaign volunteers have heard concerns from thousands of voters over Musk’s work with the Trump administration to reshape the federal government, which he said has led to “benefits for veterans, retirees and students” being cut “so Elon Musk can get a tax cut.”

“Josh Parsons might be OK with that but I’m not,” Malone said. “On Tuesday, you’ll get to make the choice between more Musk, or Lancaster values.”

in slightly-early honour of St Patricks Day, I will once again remind the world of the time Amazon united Ireland (and apologized for the Troubles), still one of my favourite moments on twitter
A Twitter thread.  Amazon Help replies to a (not visible) tweet saying "Autumn Nations Cup coverage is available to Prime Video customers
based in UK only. Prime Video doesn't support streaming content through Virtual Private Network (VPN) or proxy
connections. Are you using either of these?"

Chris Jones says "No."

Amazon Help says "Thank you for that information. We
apologize but upon reviewing your
location you're in Northern Ireland.
Rugby Autumn Nations Cup coverage is
exclusively available to Prime members
based in the UK. We don't have the rights
to other territories."The thread continues. Chris Jones says "Northern Ireland is part of the UK."  

Amazon Help says "Many apologies, but we don't have the broadcast rights for Ireland or other territories." Another twitter user says "Northern Ireland *IS* the UK, "UK" is
short for The United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland.
(This tweet does not reflect my opinions
on the matter of a united island of
Ireland)" 

Amazon Help replies "Thank you for reaching out to us. We'll be sure to pass your feedback along to the appropriate team." Amazon Help replies to a different tweet, and leads with "Hi there! We apologize for the troubles."
