just so we're clear: i am an unapologetically queer & pro-trans-rights educator. young people deserve support, facts & love as they explore their gender & sexuality. anyone who's ever met me IRL knows my stance, including my employer.

tl;dr TERF trolls need not waste their time.

Service starts at about 2pm UK (10 EDT, 7 PDT) - if you're here early, enjoy the sights and sounds behind the scenes. The tech might fall over completely. If it does, the session will be recorded on at least 1 other camera and we will share the recording.

Emerson's passing was from coronary artery atheroma; his coronary artery got furred up so badly that blood couldn't get through to his heart. Sarah and I will hold a memorial service in Athens, GA later this month first, then a second one in London after. Details to follow ASAP.

Em's husband Chris here. Emerson passed away on the 15th. He'd had breathing problems in Dec; tests showed half his heart was struggling. He'd felt vaguely sick the prev night but no worse. I assume the heart was the cause, not sure if a post mortem is needed. More at Facebook.

You don’t just save yourself once, you have to mentally & emotionally save yourself every time the original trauma is triggered.

@rooflizard Same here! A blessing and a curse.

Shoutout to Ryder M with @NYTGames for being a total hero!

Woke up today & discovered to my horror that Tuesday’s xword was blank despite my having solved it, reducing my streak from 528 to 1. Sent a plea to support & Ryder sorted it all out!! Crisis averted, streak saved.

Three recent approaches to a coup plot:
1) Germany -- stop the coup before it starts
2) Brazil -- round up insurrectionists after they attack
3) US -- Seat the seditionists in Congress, pass the buck on investigation, and allow the head insurrectionist to run for president again

Today's gender is tired.

Wild as hell that UGA saved its best game of the year for the National Championship.

That’s a helluva flex.
