My parents took me to see Dog Day Afternoon when I was 11 yo. It had a 12yo+ rating in France, so they lied to get me in. At one point my father leaned over: should we leave, was it too much? Nope. My eyes were glued to the screen. I didn't fully understand the film, ofc. But 50 years later, /

"Professional" travel agents have nothing on me. They were telling me that there was no way for me to get flights to the DR to see Conejo Malo within the time frame I wanted. They lied. I found several ways. VAMOS A BAD BUNNY! Million other things were more urgent that figuring that out. 🤷

DO NOT NORMALIZE INDIFFERENCE about how the right and most Dem politicians trample on fundamental human rights of trans people and terrorize them My daughter is afraid to leave the house and we live in San Francisco It’s real.

“Anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage. Trans people are afraid to leave the country, let alone leave their houses. The right-wing ecosystem has gladly spent years creating these conditions, while Democrats have by turns avoided saying anything about them at all” 😞 👉🏻 archive.ph/ewBhT

"I don't care that he's dead." "He's not a hero." "He's a scumbag." "He shouldn't be celebrated." No, no. I'm not saying that about Charlie Kirk. Charlie Kirk said that about George Floyd. Just in case anyone's interested in what he thought was fair to say about someone who was killed on camera.

Yeah, but it is incredibly clear right now that your moderation process leans heavily toward censoring trans people and away from protecting them. You allow slurs and death threats against trans people to exist for hours (if you act at all) while suspending people for "rest in piss" within minutes.
