I just finished the first season of "Fleabag" and I think I'm just gonna lay here and zone out and softly laugh at myself for having ever thought I might try my hand at screenwriting someday. Jesus.
"Fleabag" is supremely good because it makes you experience anger, sadness, and laughter all within the same moments, scene after scene. It is weirdly comforting while being uncomfortable, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a fucking magician.
When Boo responds to the hamster news story, complete with the pencil observation, I just started balling, and I have no idea why.

I was doing research tonight and realized a Democratic U.S. Senator has had two official accounts on here for nearly ten years and has never tweeted the terms "trans" or "transgender" in all that time. Not a single time.
Not when Sec. Ash Carter announced trans folks would be allowed to serve.

Not when Trump announced the trans ban. Or any subsequent news cycles on that.

Not when trans kids were turned away by DoE.

Not any of the recent news items.

Not. A. Single. Time.
This is a warning to digital comms staff for Members of Congress: if your boss has time to give a shout-out to their fave sports team or muse about GoT or offer quirky commentary on whatever the hell, they have time to tweet about trans rights. We are watching.

The cruel actions taken by the Trump-Pence administration this week have made it clear what advocates have spent the past two years telling anyone who will listen: this White House wants to see us harmed and erased. Donald Trump and Mike Pence want to see us die. (thread)
This is another day in a two-year campaign intended to normalize and enable violence and discrimination against trans people. Step by step, they are working to dehumanize us. They are trying to make it easier for the American public to see us killed.
They have ordered the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the country's top public health agency, to stop using the word "transgender" in official reports, and no rational explanation has been given for this. washingtonpost.com/national/healt…

MONSTER THREAD: US President Donald Trump’s transgender military ban went into force at the start of this month. It is predicated on a number of false premises, but chiefly: that trans servicepeople are a burden to the US military; and that trans identities are illegitimate. 1/
I’d like to deal with both of these propositions, as well as why this development should be alarming for anyone — even those who have taken a more ambivalent stance because they don’t support what Eisenhower once called the ‘military-industrial complex.’ 2/
First, to the idea of a burden. I’m not going to deal too much with the actual costs, though Trump has made much of the fact that trans people are ‘too expensive’ for the Pentagon. This he even claimed in his first tweets proposing the ban. 3/

BREAKING: The White House has said that US President #Trump is canceling his upcoming South America trip to remain in the US "to oversee the American response to Syria." - @NBCNews
This sounds like the US is planning to strike #Syria and Trump will remain in the US to closely monitor responses by #Russia. This is terrible.
BREAKING - British forces are now mobilizing at their bases in #Cyprus for strikes against #Syria. It appears very likely that the US, France and U.K. will strike Syria in the next 24 hours. This is dreadful.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
