ezs note: Now that the House Intelligence Committee has pretty much finished its business, it now goes to the Rules Committee to prepare a final draft. Then the whole House takes its vote. It's quite a dramatic thing in itself - impeachment votes are a rarity - but then the Senate takes over. If you live in a state in which there are one or two Republican Senators, ya gotta call, email, snail-mail, (not really recommended unless there is no other choice) or visit directly when she/he comes to town, and urge her/him to vote YES to oust Trump. Be polite but firm. Bullet points are great, 3 to 5 should suffice. If you're talking more than a minute, you're talking too long. Others may not agree with you, but let others have their say. If you are uncertain about whether your Senators (there are two) are Republican, Democrat, or other, go to senate.gov. Thanks.

Now let me see...
As you might know, Emily's Virtual Rocket has been around a while. You'd think that I would get some fabulous clothes. Uh, not really. I get clothing, but it's male clothing.
I am not asking for a handout. What I would like is if you see an article that really moves or inspires you, sending an article of clothing would be a way of saying "thank you". Just send one item. It doesn't have to be from Saks or Cartier. In fact, sending a good lightly used item would be just as appreciated. I am very large (280 pounds/127 kilograms), but I am following Weight Watchers diligently. Here's what I'm looking for:

I am very large (280 pounds/127 kilograms), but I am following Weight Watchers diligently. Here's what I'm looking for:
- tops (not too loud or flashy)
- wig (medium to dark brown)
- slacks
- skirt (knee length)
- panties (new only, cotton preferable)
- bra (new only)
- nylons (new only)
- socks (extra-large please)
- insert into bra (C cup, no larger)
- sweater
- coat
- inexpensive necklace (long)
- inexpensive perfume
For three of the items which I specify as new, I am not calling for expense or extravagance. Family Dollar, Target, or Wal-Mart, for example, will do nicely. Here's the address:

While I do respect Christian values, (even though I strongly disagree with the particulars) if you're gonna teach in a public school, there are certain standards which you have to follow. And you didn't. And you got fired.
Good.

SPECIAL - review of Maomarimo
When I first chose to pick Maomarimo, I was rather puzzled when Mangahere chose to put up a warning sign about proceeding any further. The editors of manga were, let's say, a bit quirky. When I read chapter nine, however, I found out exactly what they were warning me about. And it was truly disgusting.
I'm not trying to be a prissy. However, when Horikita Aoi carefully masters an art over eight chapters, only to have it flushed down the toilet, it really is disgusting.
If you want shits n' giggles, hey, have at it. However, when you seek a thoughtful examination of transgender life, you can do better.
Far better.
