If you're a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate who has built out the issues/positions page on your website and don't specifically address transgender rights in some way, it's noticeable. It's glaring. And that is all I will say on that for now.
Shout-out to Kirsten Gillibrand, Pete Buttigieg, John Delaney, Bernie Sanders, Mike Gravel, Marianne Williamson, and Andrew Yang for at least expressing clear support for transgender rights in their issues page. Some candidates haven't built out an issues page yet.
But some have. One candidate who I will not mention built out an entire issues page and didn't even include LGBTQ rights as a whole, which is curious.
Also: kudos to Mike Gravel for proposing the Presidential Medal of Freedom for Marsha P. Johnson as part of his platform. That made me smile.

Like every writer on here with more than 2,000 followers, I occasionally get PR folks who ask if they can send me a product to review, mostly things I would never want or need. And all I wanna do is review your candy products. What does a girl gotta do to get some free candy?
Why is no PR person ever like: "Charlotte, we'd like to send you a 50 lbs. bag of weed gummy bears to review, but we understand if you're so overcome by them that you don't actually get around to reviewing."
Also, @thegoodgodabove, can you send me a good president for review?

As of 1:51am ET, 2020 Dem candidates who responded to Alabama:

Gillibrand (3:28pm)
Williamson (4:46pm)
Inslee (8:33pm)
Booker (9:55pm)
Sanders (10:15pm)
Swalwell (10:25pm)
Harris (10:27pm)
Castro (10:56pm)
Warren (10:59pm)
Ryan (11:17pm)
O'Rourke (11:26pm)
Klobuchar (1:01am)
This is what I tracked on all associated accounts for announced 2020 candidates. If you don't see someone on here, take it up with their campaign. I think this is important to point out for all the obvious reasons.
One error: Hickenlooper responded at 11:53pm. My mistake. He somehow got lost in the shuffle of 23 different candidates.

When he appeared on "Inside the Actor's Studio", Dave Chappelle said something that's always stuck with me. He said when he was new to stand-up, still learning it as a teen, he'd go to the local comedy club on two nights every week. (thread)
One of those nights was open mic, where novices and amateurs would try their hand. Chappelle said he'd see folks bomb constantly. The other night was for established stand-up comics. He'd go on these nights to learn the ropes. Figure out how to write.
He said the tandem of these two nights taught him how to work at his craft. The open mic, the amateurs, illuminated what doesn't work. Sometimes, we have to see how things don't work in order to appreciate the value of when they do work.

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg compares Iran's variant of Shia extremism and Wahhabism — which is the source of the overwhelming majority of Islamic terrorism — to Christianity
Buttigieg made the comments on Hugh Hewitt's radio program this morning
The Congressional Research Service says that Wahhabism is the same ideology that the 9/11 terrorists had, which led them to kill 3,000 Americans

Again, Buttigieg compares this to Christianity

Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker told reporters Sunday that he would withhold judgment on the alleged attack on "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett after calling the incident "an attempted modern-day lynching" when it was first rfoxnews.com/politics/cory-…ps://t.co/T6glIlB47s
Harris & Booker applying political pressure re: Chicago PD re: Smollett False Flag case?
What Bill did the Senate recently pass re: lynching?
Who were the authors of the Bill?
What FF event took place just prior to the passing of the Bill?
Did the FF event involve a 'noose'?
Did the FF event sway Senators in their decision to prevent FAKE NEWS attacks re: Smollett case?
Did #FAKENEWS contact many Senators prior to vote seeking out pro/nay in attempt to coerce using #Smollett case as foundation for possible future smear?

It's May, meaning a lot of my artist friends are graduating! Some of my UK friends are considering freelancing, while searching for jobs or even jumping into it full time and getting themselves out there! Some advice. Do not undersell yourself. You have #rights! (thread!)
As of August 2017, the Artist's Union England determines the following hourly rates for an artist to be fair; £21.04 p/hr for a new graduate artist. That's about $28 dollars for my US friends. This goes up to £27.27 p/hr for 3 yrs+ exp, and £31.47 per hour for 5 years or more. /2
If you are doing sessional/daily rates such as presentations, consultations and installations. You should be looking at £166.24 p/day (£ 83.12 p/ 1⁄2 day) for a new grad artist, £218.19 p/day (£109.10 p/ 1⁄2 day) 3 yrs+ exp, £270.14 p/day (£135.07 p/ 1⁄2 day) 5 yrs+ exp. /3
