From the way the people I’ve observed “transitioning” react it is more like they are going at long last to the right sort of water to thrive.

Imagine going through a change later in your life that makes you seek an environment that would be toxic to the living things you were surrounded with for most of your life. -
There is a book in The Library of the Lost.Of course!

We might just have to put the whole "teach people critical thinking" thing to rest, friends.i’ve always struggled with the notion of “teaching critical, thinking” some of the time it can just seem like a fancy way to say, teaching people to apply a wider sphere of self-criticism. It is a flaw that can never be fully rectified; and where we encounter or present or discover our own obstinance may either be matters so trivial they don’t warrant debate or matters so foundational that to debate them is terrifying.

There is a book in The Library of the Lost.The rules for inclusion in the book are strict. The rules of The Library of the Lost always are. This is where your chapters go if you destroy them unintentionally. This must be the fault of the author— not of some later catastrophe. Somehow highlighting the entire document, typing some nonsense then closing the application so you have no recourse to “undo” — no document history ..,since you were writing on a phone.
Gone forever. Or no?
This is where those chapters go.

There is a book in The Library of the Lost.There is a book in The Library of the Lost. In a way, it is The Book of this long sought after library: a multi-volume set. The binding methods span the ages- the first in bone slats hinged by lovingly replaced red string, later volumes in papyrus scrolls. (We will not speak of the clay tablets in the basement.) Most of the great book, sprawling over many shelves and rooms, the life’s work of countless librarians of this institution, is bound in paper. The Book of Accidentally Deleted Chapters.

After The Obama Years and everyone noticing police violence, which is a 100+ old problem, with Black Lives Matter for a few years Black Issues(tm) have taken a back seat in mainstream discourse because no one can make hay over them at the moment.The odious Woke Ideology, existed for a reason. Maybe DHS will tell the AI to add some non-white people in their future posts. And do not be shocked if they do this ... and it is met with backlash from their fans.
I'm curious to see what they do.
I do not envy trans people having "the spotlight" there is very little good about the spotlight.
Now is a great time to be loudly pro trans rights and try to soak up some of the damage.

Someone recently said "Isn't the lack of diversity a little odd? Most of the people in America don't look like this one guy."
But such criticism is "woke" and we are not doing that anymore.
The contradictions, the strain only increases. It will , eventually, break.

There is a significant, and disturbing group who see America as a White Christian nation. These people think that one might have a debate about the merits of interracial marriage. They do realize this wouldn't be popular so they are starting with trans people.
Meanwhile many participants in this movement have vague notions of a post racial America.

Immigration, Transphobia, Islamophobia are being centered by the right, but their anti-black racism is less direct and obvious.

That sounds horrible and it was very hard for me to understand this problem.
Which is good to be aware of.
When I've had mandatory open ended social events in my life it was like this.

Removing Pica from the new cat bed each time she got in it just after setting it up?Removing Pica from the new cat bed each time she got in it just after setting it up? And both of us saying "oh no she can't sleep on the THAT bed"
She is now obsessed and loves the new bed.
Hope she misses this post... #PicaTheCat
