I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but please never stop being excited about the things you love. Your enthusiasm *will* annoy some people, and that’s great. It will help you weed out the people who don’t value the gift of your uncynical, unabashed happiness.

CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. ORDER YOUR ABORTION PILLS NOW.

If you live in an abortion-restricted state, order your abortion pills now. PlanCPill.org will direct you to a provider who delivers to your state. If you live in Texas, you'll need to go through AidAccess.org. Legal jeopardy is on the provider, not the recipient--for now. So order them now.

Last July, Neil Gaiman, author of The Sandman and American Gods, was accused of sexual assault. Lila Shapiro goes deep on the allegations and looks at his upbringing in Scientology and his relationship with his wife, Amanda Palmer, and what she knew.

saw someone asking what trans people did to deserve all the vitriol, & nothing actual of course. but transness breaks the rule #1 of the conservative hierarchical worldview, that your position is to a large degree defined by your birth. choosing to put yourself in a different tier is heretical
