Ann Arbor City Council thoughts, and also random nonsense.

DJ on WCBN-FM, 88.3, https://wcbn.org/. Tue 6-9am Eastern time. I play music that is made primarily by people other than cis men. And then I talk about city council stuff.
That doesn’t sound like someone who takes lgbtq rights seriously, especially combined with doing a fundraiser with Dave Chappelle. When I saw he was doing that, I was like “okay, you need to make a pretty strong case that you care about trans people”. And this is all he’s got. We didn’t make it into his priorities.
How did you find that? I couldn’t find it by navigating from the front page.
I especially couldn’t find it linked from his “priorities”.

Hill Harper had a fundraiser with reprehensible transphobe Dave Chappelle. He also did not say anything about trans people on his website. You don’t count as a leftist if you’re transphobic.
Alas, she’s our POS senator. We need to care what she thinks in that we need to control what she thinks, because she thinks a lot of wrong things. There was an anti-trans bill in the senate, and the Democrats filibustered it, and on the cloture vote, amazingly, All the Democrats correctly voted No on cloture. Except Slotkin and, like, one other, who did not vote. We needed her vote and she did not show up for us.

Yeah, I was definitely into girls in a gay way and couldn’t explain it. People would say that a girl I liked was gay and I’d be real excited and people would be like “but that means she’s not into guys and you’re a guy” and I’d be like “does not compute”
I couldn’t find a link to coffeestains the package except in the image, so I transcribed it out here in case anyone wants to click it.
Y’know, come to think of it, Wikipedia might be a better project to point to here. All the content on there is hand curated. When I’m interested in a subject, I usually go to wikipedia first instead of a search engine. Sometimes I am directed out to other websites from there.
I set up a quick keyword search so I can type “wp blah blah blah” into my url bar and it searches wikipedia.
Yeah. Sorry, I was hesitant to post links at first before I vetted them.
It looks like “Curlie” is the official continuation of the DMOZ project:
The other ones I was seeing, it turns out, are static mirrors of 2017 DMOZ.
It looks like there’s a couple projects to continue the directory DMOZ. I hope they’re sharing work with each other!
“Well hey, now, let’s not get hasty. If you investigate me for crimes, you will find that I committed crimes! That would be bad for mee. Is that really what you want?”

Okay, but if the social pressures were equal, which would you rather be?
Cuz, like, being scared of the social consequences of transitioning doesn’t make you not trans.
I’d be like “Oh boy, I just heard that this girl I like is gay!” and people would be like “Why does this make you excited? Doesn’t that mean she won’t want to date you?” and I’m like “Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm”
A cis man on egg_irl? Uhhh, yeah, me too!
Yeah, a lot of roads are designed so that people drive fast and feel safe not paying attention. Roads inside cities should be designed so that people drive slowly and pay lots of attention.
I’d say well designed roads are the first line of defense. Cars crash into people who are not in cars all the time.
@haileyscommit
Same. I’d get excited because I would find out a girl I like is gay. My friends would be like “but you know that means she won’t date you, right?” And I’d get confused. Oh yeah, why was this exciting to me??? 🤔
