hey masto, anyone know of resources in the Madison/Chicago area to give to parents of a 7yo who's showing some definitive signs of being a trans girl? they wanna make sure to be supportive in the right ways so they don't mess this up. (boosts appreciated)

I was in Providence for Pride and there were actual honest to diety trans folks here. I saw them. So like... where are they all hiding now??

looking for resources on dealing with an email i received via the contact form on my website.

it was TW-level harassing and the person provided a gmail address, though the form was not submitted via gmail, so google's policies don't help much. probably not even a real email address, but beyond saving the email i don't know if there's something i can/should do.

i'm in the US, btw.

So some dingus came into a Devo fan forum the other day whining about how they made fun of Trump at a show and how it hurt his feelings as a conservative and can’t they just stick to the music?

Dude. The only reason Devo even fucking exists is that the founding members saw the National Guard kill four peaceful protestors in cold blood. Devo is an inherently political band, and 100% leftist politics too.

At least the dingus got banned for being a dingus. So that’s good.

It snowed here last night, on the mountaintops - snow in this part of South Africa is pretty rare, so my friend picked me up and we went driving over one of the local mountain passes to go through the snow, and took the doggies with us. This was just after coming down the pass on the other side into the town of Franschoek.

Big explosion of day lilies today, so I couldn't resist taking a shot.

Centrism is childish, petulant and obsessed with the aesthetics of politics instead of the realities.

I was someone who was frequently bullied at school and was constantly implicitly taught to expect nobody was going to do anything meaningful about it precisely because the school system didn't want to upset anyone (other than me, incidentally, they seemed fine with that).
