#SpookySunday London's Bleeding Heart Yard is named, apparently, for the grisly fate of Lady Elizabeth Hatton. In return for wealth she sold her soul. But one night the devil came to claim his due and danced off with her. She was found next day dead in the yard, her heart still pumping.

Still get out there and VOTE. There's no perfect candidates that align with all your beliefs and morals. Go with the one who's closest. We can work on them.

Andy Beshear has an entire chapter in his new book about backing the LGBTQ community and it's worth a read. He talks about how the anti-trans ads were tested in KY during his election and how vetoing anti-trans legislation didn't hurt his reelection campaign.

Sometimes I browse through heritage auctions and I find the occasional odd gem, but today I stumbled upon the mother-load: these ridiculous grocery store ads promoting the release of The Jungle Book, and each one has me absolutely reeling. Sharing them here so you too can share in my bewildered joy

attacking trans people hurts dem politicians and that take is missing from this whole news cycle. dems attacking trans people makes it more likely you will lose, defending trans people makes it more likely they win I want democrats to win so they need to defend trans people
