An Ode to Centrists & Radicals

A keyboard “radical” asked me why Democrats didn’t have a plan B for Harris’ loss. There is no backup plan because she was the last line of defense. Biden messed up when he appointed an AG who was more interested in bending over backwards to give Trump every out possible rather than going after him […]

You were wrong about me

I was talking to a close friend I’ve known since I was a teenager this week, and I noted that I was about to reach a significant milestone in my Ph.D. program. She commented that it was amazing because when she met me, my dyslexia was so bad that I couldn’t write a decipherable sentence. […]

When Putin attacked Syria, the West really didn’t seem to care, I think, because we were mostly talking about the murder & suffering of brown people & Muslims. When Putin attacked […]

The KKK, Passing, Race, & Gender

I grew up at a time when the KKK and evangelical leadership teamed up to fight against queer employment equality. I grew up during a time when the KKK would pass out fliers with caricatures of effeminate gay men warning the public that people like that were vile and dangerous

Another cool thing

You know, it’s a cool thing to wake up and find something like this in the morning. It helps to offset the Q-level ranting that I tend to get from people who are convinced that I’m being paid by George Soros to trick all the little children into deciding to not be cisgender anymore.
