The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events. -

Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P -

I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to. They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts. They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that. I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors. I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that. I really haven't watched TV since the 80's. I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets. From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself. After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering. I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries. The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it? There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up. If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs? We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world. We took material from those environments. What do we do now? How long can it last? -

I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out. Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. -

I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves. And what about threats of violence? Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom? Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence? I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you." Or spreading lies? (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth. Censoring books in schools? That was fine until the bible was included. (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place. You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited? Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn? -

I have noticed when anyone speaks against their though process they don't like it no matter what sided. Republicans are quick to defend Trump when he's not professional and treats his employees like crap. One employee didn't get paid at all and then he had the nerve to say that he would sue the worker. He already has a model as his wife and still goes after other women. Biden gets lost quicker than a 2nd Lieutenant gets lost at land navigation. Not to mention his open border policy which is flooding the country and can't even take care of the American citizens that we have now. I could go on about both sides. I personally don't get mad at anything someone says to me. I know it's not true so I'm over it before it even starts. You have to have thick skin. -

That's really cool, actually, and I don't even wear make-up :o -

That sounds like something I would do, lol, thanks <3 A lot of my classes have a lot of smaller, busy-work types of assignments, so it really added up O~O -

If it makes you feel better, I had a 41 2 weeks before I graduated highschool, and ended up getting honours because my teacher was awesome and let me turn in everything I was missing in one night. I believe in you! -

For some people, diversity of thought is okay as long as you agree with them. I have noticed this on both sides. Yesterday I got cussed out on FB for advocating the rule of law, which I thought an innocuous thing to advocate, because the danger a certain alleged totalitarian poses to our country. So we should throw out the law to protect the law in the view of this person. For that I was greeted with a long stream of obscenity. The cussing poster claims to be Republican, which is supposed to be all MAGA and right wing and all and law and order. Strange. I don't think I have been cussed out by someone on the left. I have been insulted in knowledge and intelligence and worship of Trump (which is false) but not directly cussed out. And they get bent out of shape badly if you disagree with them, typically. Come to think of it, I have been. Disagreeing with someone apparently is the worst thing you can do to them, invalidating their identity or something. There is REAL diversity on this forum, and for the most part we get along. Even if I were not dealing with trans stuff, it would be attractive that way. -

I was using an off the shelf product but happened to get an ad for Hims. Checked it out and found their prescription version was a little stronger so thought I'd try. It has worked very well for me. -

I put out an ad on Indeed for a campaign manager in January. I got 435 responses and had meetings with 2 of them every day for a month. No one was willing to donate enough time to my campaign to jump start donations so that I could pay them a salary. Reposting is an excellent idea. I don't have the time for it. I'd love it if people would just make creative clones of my website like in the old css zen garden days 20 years ago. I have $26.50 in my bank account today and need to sell my fancy, almost mint condition, Specialized M2 bicycle for less than $200 to buy food. Stepping into this executive level role like I have is very intense work and I've been sleeping 4 hours a night for the last two months to stay in character. In other words, I could use some help. I've had 3 Gen Z transwoman musicians living with me this year and all 5 of us that have lived in my house this year have significant time living in cars and the streets. My first wife is a symphony conductor, arranger, bass trombonist and carpenter who used to do concrete work on the freeway. I have a picture of her on a private plane with Yo-Yo Ma from almost a quarter century ago. I'm not just some crazy street person with $26.50 in my bank account. I've played music for Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton and I played a gig with Ray Charles in 1995. And that is just the beginning of my story. It's not easy to change the reproductive habits of 8 billion people. -

(I'm no poet, so this is more just melodramatic word vomit lol) Where did the hurt go? Where are the tears on my face? Hole in me, I need it so The sound, followed by a sting Feels empty now, staring into space Feels like I'm in a pile for discard Where are the things that made it home? Isn't home that place you're loved so hard that you want to die? Why aren't you louder? Why don't you tell me those things anymore? You're supposed to make me cower The iron hand turns to a feather Without your anger, I don't know what's in store I want it and don't, it's kind of hard Where are the things that made you home? Isn't home the place you're loved so hard that you want to die? Why doesn't he speak the same? Where are the comments that made me feel like a fool? Useless, B for bad, a weirdo, I'll take the blame Sharp words are too soft now I'll try to stay on these strings, play to his rule I need those words to go between my mind's shards Where are the things that made him home? Isn't home the place you're loved so hard that you want to die? Why aren't they loved the same? Why did you love me so different until now? A gentle hand guides them instead of the gauntlet's claim Was I special, maybe? You're supposed to be hard as steel, now you bow Or perhaps it was because something was wrong with me, on my guard Where are the things to make them at home? Isn't home the place you're loved so hard that you want to die? Where are the familiar things? Where are the echoes of a scream, the sting after I did something wrong? Should I fear what you're now doing? Too gentle, maybe you'll leave me alone like you used to Like the other one does, this was fate all along Hurt me, belittle me, please just make it home? I don't want you to leave, just love me so hard that I want it to end and keep going all at once -

China, India and Africa have the biggest population problems. I'm a jazz musician who does Zen meditation and cooks curries every day. Kamala Harris has Indian and African heritage and is strong on Planned Parenthood and abortion rights. I've reached out several times to Kamala in the last few months to try to get her endorsement. Susheela Jayapal is running against me and she was born in India and is endorsed by Bernie Sanders. I'd like to see Kamala Harris as president, me as vice-president and Susheela Jayapal and Maxine Dexter in our Oregon Federal positions. We can be highly visible and move the needle on population world-wide with this combination in my opinion. If we can't pave our roads in 75 years, how are we going to get food to all those people. I don't think there is a space age solution to our oil problem and our society must reverse course. As dire as all this sounds, what I'm suggesting is that we give up the rat race and literally have a world sports and music party for the next 40 years while we decrease population. A decreasing population will have no need for new housing, so that won't be a problem. I think we can give up this rat race finally. At least China recognizes there is a problem with population and has actually done something to address it. Yes, our birthrate is falling, but we certainly are not at the 1:2 ratio that I think we need to be at. Without making a big deal about this, we'll just be following the path of least resistance picking up our mochas on the way to work 40 hours/week in our SUV.
