Some exciting personal news this AM...

charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/and-now-for-…
Here's the TLDR version from @playbookdc this morning...
@playbookdc Many thanks to Talooka Studio--a small business here in D.C.--for crafting the logo and design. You can see more of their work here: talookastudio.com
One more thing: so, so many thanks to @lynnjohnstonlit for guiding me through this process. She’s been amazing in all this, and yet, none of her clients would be surprised by that.

There are countless laws on the books around the country that are now considered frivolous and often funny and the powers that be would never humor enforcing them. Some of the many, many examples...
In Little Rock, Arkansas, it is illegal to "sound the horn on a vehicle at any place where cold drinks or sandwiches are served after 9:00 p.m." (Code 1961, § 25-74)
In Rehoboth Beach, DE, it's illegal to whisper during a church service or utter profanity within 300 feet of a place of worship. (§ 198-22)

“As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

-- Isaiah 66:13
"Can a woman forget her nursing child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you."

-- Isaiah 49:15

Thinking this morning of all the PE teachers and school coaches who I saw throughout my childhood call boys and young men "ladies" and "girls" as a way of, uh, "motivating" them and now claim that using the correct pronouns for trans kids goes against their religion.
Well, shit, Bob, you sure didn't care about your religion when you were misgendering cis boys under your care because you wanted them to win in sports.
If you ask grown men who are like this for their reasoning, they have none. There's no logic. They'll get upset and angry that they have to explain why calling a boy a "girl" is necessary punishment because no one ever actually challenges their misogynistic bullshit.

The Vice President's "long weekend" tweet doesn't bother me because I'm a reasonable adult who understands "enjoy the long weekend" is something that even service members and veterans often say to each other at the start of Memorial Day weekend. This is ridiculous. (thread)
Now, would I have flagged the draft of that tweet if I were on her comms team? Yes, because it's the kind of thing egregiously taken out of context on this hellsite by people who engage in bad faith by default. But not because I find it offensive.
I find it not a bit surprising that the people complaining about Vice President Kamala Harris' tweet probably have no plans at all to honor our fallen service members tomorrow while the VP will spend tomorrow doing exactly that.

Example #8357 of people infantilizing women's sports.

"But there also may be a fear that Biles is so good that she might run away with any competition she enters simply by doing a handful of moves that her rivals cannot, or dare not, attempt."

We don't do this shit to dominant male athletes.

When it's Michael Phelps or Roger Federer, the commentary is in awe of them.

But when a woman dominates like Simone Biles? It's somehow bad for women's sports.
Remember Alex Morgan doing her tea cup celebration during the World Cup and people saying that was unsportsmanlike?

Women athletes are so often treated as fragile. It's fucking ridiculous.

They're competing. Treat them like the competitors and professionals they are.

Today, Rep. Liz Cheney will be voted out of leadership by her Republican House colleagues for refusing to back down in a condemnation of Trump and his role in the Jan. 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. A few quick thoughts on this.
Rep. Cheney is absolutely in the right, and yes, her speech last night was powerful. But it is critically important that we all acknowledge something: she was elected to this leadership position in the first place because of lies, disinformation, and an abdication of ethics.
Rep. Cheney bears a great deal of responsibility along with the other leaders among her GOP colleagues in fostering the conditions for what led to the Jan. 6th attack. We need to acknowledge this. More importantly: she needs to acknowledge it.
