Yes, that title is a direct quote from this BBC article online. It’s beyond frightening. The greenhouse gas needle is way past the red dial danger zone. And no one in the media during this election campaign is talking about it. Because, horse races are easier to cover, I guess.
That title is the one Lilly Wachowski wrote for her own coming out yesterday. Her sister Lana came out in 2012.
There's the headline I've been waiting for this past year. Up until now with dread and/or eye rolling exasperation. The "news" has almost come out a couple of times. Each was preceded by an ominous email from my agent—reporters have been asking for statements regarding the "Andy Wachowski gender transition" story they were about to publish. In response to this threatened public outing against my will, I had a prepared a statement that was one part piss, one part vinegar and 12 parts gasoline.
It had a lot of politically relevant insights regarding the dangers of outing trans people, and the statistical horrors of transgender suicide and murder rates. Not to mention a slightly sarcastic wrap-up that "revealed" my father had injected praying mantis blood into his paternal ball-sac before conceiving each of his children to produce a brood of super women, hellbent on female domination.
Okay, mega sarcastic.
But it didn't happen. The editors of these publications didn't print a story that was only salacious in substance and could possibly have a potentially fatal effect. And being the optimist that I am, I was happy to chalk it up to progress.

From the Montana News: Comrade Debs Speaks, Warns Plutocrats
From this week's edition of the Montana News:
Debs' Stirring Message.
-----
Calls Working Class to Prepare for Action
to Prevent Judicial Murder.
-----
What I have to say about the latest and boldest stroke of the plutocracy will require but little space. It is not talk that is wanted but action.
The issue is clear. There can be no mistake about it.
The labor leaders that cannot be bribed or bullied must be ambushed and murdered. That is the situation in a nutshell. How shall we meet it? In just one way. We have got to fight.
Another Haymarket attempt will precipitate a revolution.
If murder must be committed it is not the working class alone that will furnish the victims this time.
Moyer, Haywood and their colleagues are absolutely innocent. The writer knows them to the heart's core and will stake his all on them.
The only crime they are guilty of is that they are unswervingly true to the working class, and the working class can do no less than stand by them to the finish.
I hadn't heard of this before today but it certainly appears to be a major part of the Clinton debate strategy:
Sanders Campaign Says This Photo Proves Clinton Broke Rules During Univision Debate
The rules of the debate banned candidates from meeting with staff during breaks. When contacted by Henry, Clinton spokeswoman Jen Palmieri responded by saying she didn’t know the photo existed.
F r e e z e f r a m e.
that's what i thought, looking at the mountains surrounding the little village of Ftan, Switzerland: our lives seem frozen in time, just like these mountains.

Surgeons at Cleveland Clinic transplanted a uterus into a woman identified only as Lindsey in late February. The clinic plans to perform ten such transplants in a clinical trial. Recipients at this time will be women who can't get pregnant because their uterus is damaged or missing.
But transgender women are watching.
I hope it becomes a reality. I absolutely would be willing to do it.
Ever since I was old enough to understand the concept of parenting, I wanted to be a mother. I didn’t know how that would ever happen, but that’s what I wanted.
