Lily says, “the goal is survival.”
Now leading Chloe’s chant: we’re here, we’re trans, and we’re not going anywhere!
“I don’t want the rest of these people to be treated the way I am on a daily basis.”
“I am transgender. I know we’re not all transgender here, but by the power invested in me by absolutely nobody, I declare all cisgender people here today to be honorary trans for the day.” — Chloe Schwenke
(Lots of cheers)

@ggwash "Lesson learned: Single-stair multifamily designs enabled narrow buildings that fit on narrow city lots; adding more units means more narrow buildings, instead of making big buildings even wider or taller. Smaller buildings allow more builders to participate in neighborhood evolution." #ArchitecturalHistory #DMV #preservation #SingleStair #BuildingCodeReform #Housing #Architecture

Dammit. It's all well and good to live in a state that believes in science except when a virus jumps state lines and you're immunocompromised.
Measles have made it to the DMV (Maryland so far, but outbreak suspected at Dulles Airport, so who knows...). 
This week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle stands up for Democracy, the rule of law and the international order that the U.S. helped establish over the past 75 years. This week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle stands up for Ukraine and against kakistocracy. This week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle also has cool music: https://bit.ly/VAV030525
The District Dharma Collective met yesterday. More than half the people in the room have lost jobs, or have been told that they will lose jobs this week.

Instead of watching an unprecedented breakdown of century-old democratic institutions, listen to an unprecedented mixture of a century's worth of excellent music (while contemplating ways to fuck with the regime).

This week's Vinyl Assault Vehicle is a HAWT rerun, originally broadcast on 2/8/16 before anyone had ever heard the name "Drumph." Now we cry into our bottles of aging crème de menthe, ignoring the thick layer of goo at the bottom. This music will remind you of the GOOD TIMEZ! https://bit.ly/VAV021225
Allowed to go to another county for it in Minnesota, and had the most pleasant 2 experiences at the Winona DMV to try and get my "Star ID*".
Couldn't finish the first visit because my utilities didn't have my name on the receipt part. Made sure to not pay my utilities so the name was on it the next visit. Done.
Maybe it's just that one county, but it was nice.
*mainly for air travel, but also because sometimes my spouse needs me to drive her car.
Most intense gale warning I've seen: 3-6ft waves expected on the Chesapeake Bay. 2-5ft on the Potomac!
