This. Like, a bunch of us who are speaking up are members of the organization, and even though we're not the board, we feel responsibility toward steering it in positive directions.

that HWA newsletter op-ed was disgusting, juvenile, stupid, AND poorly written, but I do think we need to underline the distinction between "the organization allowed a bad essay to be published in an official communication" and "the HWA endorses this point of view"

Both kids went off to school today. My youngest started Kindergarten. Feeling all the feels.

we require everyone's gay dollars please process them here (if you have straight dollars we will take them as well but the exchange rate is weird so you should give us twice as many)
