⚠️The vocals are flawed. I'm still figuring out how to produce vocals safely.

#AdelitaGrijalva ran on… her father’s legacy and received endorsements from… #BernieSanders… #AOC… and the Congressional #Progressive Caucus. She cited affordable #housing, defending #workersrights, expanding #welfare programs and fighting #Trump’s economic agenda"
Great!

I am pleased to announce that the Prospect trade union's national conference has approved a pretty much ideal set of policies supporting trans+ people.
This included voting down a more equivocal motion brought by the union's National Executive Committee.
I'm proud today of my comrades who spoke in the debate, and of my trade union for taking such a strong and principled position.
I still remember that my therapist suggested something to me, like, not because I don't have anything to offer in exchange for money. It's more because my qualities are not being rewarded (honesty, patience, and many more).
