Did last night. Felt pretty good tbh, considering I was forgetfully paying for the big bundle and basically rewatching one show I've been meaning to buy on physical media. No more excuses.

Whenever I criticize Newsom online, I inevitably get a "You're why we have Trump, you didn't vote for Harris!" I don't think these folks realize how much trans people understood the assignment and voted for Harris despite our MANY valid concerns. So they can do us a favor and do better in 2028.

We've been so inundated with GOP "Christianity" that it's lost that some folks can be Christian and use their faith in positive directions. Gov. Beshear comes to mind. “My faith teaches me that all children are children of God and Senate Bill 150 will endanger the children of Kentucky.”

I like Beshear and if not for Walz, he was who I was hoping for the Harris VP pick. I appreciate his willingness to go to bat for trans folks, too. I see this "birthing persons" example a lot and maybe I'm not in the right trans circles, but I rarely hear this term. Is it really that commonly said?

Like access to healthcare and civil rights are a "kitchen table" issue for me. If I don't have those first and foremost, how could anyone expect a trans person to care about or have the energy or mental capacity for anything else. I want to care, but like I gotta survive first.

In addition to the unhinged replies from the "VBNMW" crowd, why are people settling for Newsom when there are better candidates on both trans rights AND other issues. We have a lot of time until 2028. Spend that energy yelling at Dems to do better rather than shaming trans folks for wanting rights.
