    LBGTQ

    Pronouns in an email - more likely than not - signals to people like me that if they were to find out about my status things would not change or be impacted. Some may have been be forced to oblige but most did so voluntarily. It’s kinda of a big deal.
  2. I’ll be honest, I wish there was a path for me. I’ve considered moving to a state where I could but those states don’t need people like me to run. Plus my wife would divorce me and the discord and threats are too much now. I still think about it often though.
  3. back in my HRC days she and I were peers. unfortunately Texas would execute a trans lady for no good reason before Texas would elect one. good for Sarah, hope she can stay the course. at this point I don't know how anyone does politics anymore. you know she's getting death threats. there's a woman in the state house in VA that set the precedent on how trans people represent in legislative bodies - you don't advocate much at all for trans rights, that comes across as a selfish act, instead you keep your mouth shut and deflect back to the economic issues of your constituents. The mere fact that they voted you in is the only act of defiance required.
  4. There’s nothing political about your post.
  5. UT baseball playing coastal aggy tonight on SEC+ that’s actually enjoyable. Fuck Chester.

    LBGTQ

    Pretty much. Took me a while to come around - mostly ignorance, fear and inward focus - But give me drag queens over just about any other form of human and I’d be just fine.
  8. 3 happy to buy them of course.
  9. I read a few years ago that US forests coast to coast are actually in the best shape they have been in since before we were clear cutting with reckless abandon. Out west drought is a concern but the US has tons of forested land like 800 million acres. US forests are actually a major carbon sink for the earth, one of the top countries in terms of forest resources. There’s a ton of forests east of the Mississippi and most of the time we think of Rocky Mountain forests. I think there’s plenty of room to grow the timber industry I just want it done wisely and not on old growth national parks and done in a way that is truly sustainable. but to your point - no one wants a sawmill by their home.
  10. What’s the best place to buy secondary market tickets for this weekend? Looking to take my two sons on Saturday.
  11. came to find out about this fire, client mentioned a friend of his is being evacuated but it's not even on local news yet.
  12. Okay my fault. If deviance is only related to shitting in public then I - theoretically - would be guilty as charged. I took it as an insult of who I am. I apologize for jumping to that conclusion. Hopefully you can appreciate why I’m on edge.
  13. not sure why you thought calling me a "deviant" was funny when you typed it out, unless you're 11 years old or something.
  14. being super serious - total NP/SP hack - go see the Humboldt Redwoods and Rockefeller Forest right before thanksgiving or during the Christmas holiday. NO ONE is there. You could literally shit right next to the bear and it wouldn't happen because no one is there to see it. One of the greatest moments of my life standing there int he forest by ourselves with only the sounds of the forest and our tinnitus to hear.
  15. Thank god some of the best forests are actually California state parks… you haven't lived until you've spent the day in Humboldt Redwoods State Park with no one else around.
  16. what trump wants is one thing, who he's handed the reigns over to and what they want are something else. Trump wants money, ego strokes, and power. I thought I read he was considering a far left run but Bannon convinced him the far right was already packaged up and ready for the taking. Trump is apolitical, I don't think he gives a fuck except for money, ego and power. He's had to work with the far right to get what he wants, but it's a means to a end not a goal itself. The far right is a combination of pain for the unrighteous and theft for the oligarchs. marriage made in heaven, especially for the religious oligarchs.
  17. dat hair. fuuuuuuuuck.
  18. thanks for the link. i'll check it out, you are correct some will always care.... I think our fellow citizens really wouldn't care at the level that is required to legislate like they are now. but I could be wrong.
  19. I’ve used the term “tranny” for emphasis and self empowerment - but even I should probably stop. It’s ironic because in the before times I really didn’t care about language I cared about outcomes, but here I am being the language police. It matters, I just wish times were different
  20. And apparently Quentin Tarantino ….
  21. that's bad ass. honestly brisket's use and francisco's use didn't offend but it's a slippery slope and invites all the fuckstains to come out with even more gusto.
  22. no, legislative cruelty is what is making me/us nervous.
  23. Dems squandered their alliance with the working class, middle class and immigrants. It’s true. Biden and Harris had the right policies and spent equal time on equality, working class issues and saving democracy. It’s the right platform, but it was a generation too late. no one will care about trans rights if the middle and working classes aren’t being robbed blind, at this point though I agree we need a celebrity - to be clear a middle aged straight white guy - who preaches Bernie Sanders’ message, and once elected does all three - restores and promotes equality (super easy with one law passed - the federal equality act - and it’s done and done), saves democracy (rebuilds the federal work force strategically) and with the most focus and fanfare - builds back the working class and middle class. He needs to spend nearly all of his visible focus on working and middle class issues, full stop.
