My whole life kind of feels like an onerous task that I'm not even good at.(But that doesn't stop me from feeling competitive with others over things I don't even really want.(Wish feeling like a thought was stupid was enough to stop me having it, but not usually.) Scola, I've yet to go, but that seems like a very NYC thing. Laura, she's like a judicial village idiot, but that's on-brand. Ugh.(Wish I felt better about my phone stuff, too)
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I’ve got tickets to see Captain America tonight, and I don’t expect the movie to be very good. I did not expect that what’s happening at the SDNY right now to be way more entertaining.

Today has been okay, though. Galentine's apps with Mom. (But she still won't let me pay.)

Holy FUCK, what’s going on right now is AMAZING, and it’s happening in real time.
Trump ordered the SDNY to drop all charges against Mayor Adams, and the SDNY did not take it very well.
Not only did the NYT post the acting head of SDNY’s resignation letter, they also posted the bitchy response from her boss. (The acting head of SDNY was just appointed by Trump, is a member of the Federalist Society, and clerked with Scalia).
Several other prosecutors also resigned, in both NY and DC.
Meanwhile, someone tipped off The New York Post that prosecutors were prepping additional obstruction charges against Adams.
The SDNY prosecutors must be THRILLED that their suspect lied to them, and they have to let him go.

Serge, remember when your motto was "Don't Be Evil"?
Yeah I remember when they changed that and it was like “this does not bode well” and lo and behold these years later it’s definitely giving evil vibes.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.

The National Parks website for Stonewall National Monument has removed all mentions of trans people, and changed "LGBT" and "LGBTQ" to "LGB." [link]

Fuckin' A, I didn't read the whole thing but that letter is a scorcher!

STONEWALL?! Good god, that is so very wrong and upsetting. Feel like heaving some bricks.

And if you click on the link to the 15 part video series (which surely must mention trans people) then it is a 404.
