Conversations around CR have fuelled this, but this goes for any TTRPG situation: if someone you perceive to be cis makes a character that isn’t cis/isnt their perceived gender, LET THEM. There is no faster way to shut down someone exploring gender than to say “but you’re cis”.

Rescued six dogs in Leland, NC, after the owner LEFT THEM locked in an outdoor cage that filled with flood water that was rapidly rising. We got them out, but by the time we left, the water was so high that they would have drowned. BRING YOUR PETS WITH YOU! #HurricaneFlorence

If the anthem made them want to stand they’d stand. But they kneel. Peacefully. In protest. Forced patriotism is not freedom. It’s facism.

Sean Hannity: The New York Times is trying to distract you. They say Trump tried to fire Mueller, but our sources aren’t confirming that! Sean Hannity, minutes later: Alright, yeah, maybe our sources confirm Trump wanted to fire Mueller. But so what? That’s his right. Anywho...
