Scenes from a personalist regime
The small rally has become an open mic as attendees offer their thoughts and feelings on attacks on trans people.
"To be trans is to be disrespected, gawked at and misunderstood," a speaker going by Angel says in a poem. "To feel the projected insecurities of the cis body."
Happening now in Chicago's federal plaza:
A rally is underway in solidarity with trans people in Kansas whose drivers' licenses were suddenly invalidated last week, due to the enactment of a new state law that requires a person's gender on their license to match their assigned sex at birth.
"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways
Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

What if I told you some of its treasures had vanished?
What if I told you that I found them?

A pile of valentines, including a gulper eel saying "you make my jaw drop", a grimalditeuthis saying "I find you a-LURE-ing" a whale skeleton at the bottom of the ocean with snailfish and two octopuses making heart arms under the words "I've whale-fallen for you", and an anglerfish saying "You're my light in the darkness", and then two packs of cards that are all nice and tied up
Hey cuties. Everything sucks ass. Get some valentines and send them to your friends.
I'm sad. You're sad. They're probably sad.
Send them a valentine.
It keeps Skype a Scientist running, which hey, is very good too.
