there is a judge in Seattle who does the weekly name change hearings, and who says it's her favorite part of the week. she says she doesn't read out previous names, or ask about the reasons why people want to change them. she says it's a beautiful moment, and a celebration; a claiming of a new identity, or a reclamation of an old identity. she encourages the room to clap for folks. then she welcomes everyone up, one by one, by last name and with warmth; she shows them the court order where nobody else can see, asks them to double check the spelling, and then they're done! do they want a picture? do they want their friends and loved ones who came with them to be in it too? do they want the court order in the photo? she helps everyone pose, shakes hands and stands with them for as long as they need to take it, recruits the clerk for help taking photos of the folks who came alone. then she tells them where to go next, congratulates them, and claps along with the rest of the room.

probably three quarters of the people there were trans, and she centered their experience quietly, with love and joy.

I think I'll be thinking about her a lot this January, and for a long time after. it's good to know she's there.

No one is immune to propaganda. There have been right-wingers about claiming Trump would be good for Israel (he would not) and that Harris doesn't support Israel (she does, loudly. She also supports Palestinian civilians and opposes Hamas.) Go watch her nomination speech. For that matter, watch the whole DNC convention. Harris' husband, like Harris herself, was very strong on the dangers of antisemitism. And the rousing cheers from the crowd of thousands will do you good.

so sorry if this is weird but do you remember the meta that was about castiel's power decreasing over the seasons? and how it makes sense bc he basically had been plugging incompatible batteries into his engine? i think you might've even been the one to write it but i can't seem to find it, if you can't find it i understand i just figured i'd ask in case you knew where it was.

So clearly you found what you needed since it took me forever to actually get around to my inbox:

But since I'm finally getting around to this, here's some links to various Cas meta just because I like talking about him and it's a good opportunity to resurrect some of my favorite meta I've written about him:

The post I think you were talking about

Cas vs Chuck Battle Royale and Additional TMWWBK Context

Heaven vs Cas in S11

Cas, conflict avoidance, penance, and purgatory and S9 Metafiction Follow Up

Cas's new human context in S9

Reflections on pre-Dean Castiel's mindset

Cas Is Not Well-Adjusted

This is pretty far from a complete sampling of my writings on the rich subject of Castiel (my beloved), but I know my Casposting doesn't get as much circulation as my Deanposting because my opinions are a little controversial in the most vocal Casgirl circles on this webbed site, so it always seems like a good time to bring some Cas posts back around for the consideration of the masses lmao

honestly? that one David Tennant Richard II Kiss™ is my favourite acted kiss in history

look how ridiculously tender and how achingly desperate it is. so gentle, so kind, and yet so selfish at the same time. i've never seen anything quite so human

just. just look at these

there's something so genuine and chaste about this kiss, while also being gorgeously passionate and heated and...... it's just perfect

Pulling up to Supernatural 20 years late

My first attempt at Castiel 🪽✨

god the juxtaposition of Dean telling Sam that he's awkward around girls, almost back to back with Dean being THEE most awkward person alive to the point that it's making everyone else in the room uncomfortable........... because a hot guy is making eye contact with him.

Have you ever seen a poster and thought.

Wait what.

I just did so i googled

Huh. That seems.... not that far? What about...

Okay. Okay that's... still.... but maybe I'm seeing distances wrong let's try what the poster said

.....

Huh. That's. I'm. Wait what is...

Okay so the international space station is roughly 10 times closer to me than the west coast is that's fine this is fine I'm fine what
