You can not gab the air
You can not grab the air...
You can not say I’m sorry, easily, when it’s too late.
Madison Avenue rebates
possess no oxygen.
We all scream for ice-cream
holding on to each other, melting away
as the Big, sugar cone is filled.
The Captain has no rudder
as long as Bulls run in the narrow street
Shuttering
gasping for “Starry Nights.”
You can not grab the air
I hear it all the time. We transgender people just have to wait for our time; We're just too new.
A team of trans people are busy putting the lie to that. We've Been Around is series of documentary shorts that chronicle the lives of Lucy, STAR, Albert, Little Ax, and Lou. They are directed by Rhys Ernst, produced by Christine Beebe and the narration is done by transgender people. The team includes Transparent actress Alexandra Billings, writer and filmmaker Susan Stryker and trans historian Monica Roberts.
I know it's terribly bad form to write a diary that asks the readers to go somewhere else and then come back. But I sure hope you do. The videos do not embed well.
This evening's music features blues rock guitarist Guitar Shorty. Enjoy!
Guitar Shorty - You Don't Treat Me Right
WARNING: NOT SUITABLE FOR DAILY KOS. Please do not repost there. Thank you.
As I warned our community in my first Diary here on caucus99percent, the day was coming when we would receive a very large influx of new (and recently banned!) users from Daily Kos, and therefore we should be ready to help support them so our esteemed host JtC didn't have to do it all.
Good afternoon folks.

From the Appeal to Reason: "Staff Correspondents are speeding on their way to the scene."
Down the center of the entire front page, this week's Appeal makes known its intention to spare no resources to expose the ongoing conspiracy to frame and hang the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners:
There's a particular brand of cowardice that's uniquely American.
There have been many versions of cowardice over the years, but throughout history, it's never been presented and accomplished in this wholly American and incredibly hypocritical manner. It may perhaps end up being our lasting legacy to the world, something that truly has not been present in the human psyche before the rise of our empire.
I got back from one of my not so uncommon hiatuses and C99 was a hopping. It was good to see the other virtual drifters, hobos and nerr do wells hopping onto the C99 train. I am the diarist formerly known as NCTim and I shall be your sporadic host this fine day.
For the uninitiated, I work pretty hard to keep my diaries content free. I like to let loose a stream of consciousness that is easier to follow if you are demented or inebriated.
