The Litterbox Laws and other stuff

[lb_lee]

Rogan: At otherkinnews, Orion Scribner has been giving thorough explanations of anti-otherkin bills that have been coming up in state governments over the past couple years, all based around a conservative boogeyman myth of otherkin children demanding to use litterboxes at schools. Here's a write-up of the most recent bill, in Oklahoma. Seems relevant to readers here.

I can't believe I have to use my "politics" tag for THIS dog and pony show BUT WELCOME TO AMERICA.

Also, the IRS has released DirectFile! I can't use it, because self-employment always makes taxes more complicated, but for those of you who get W-2s and such, check it out!

Mori: We have also installed hack on our Linux machine. Finally, I can go back to dying in improbable foolish ways like the command line intended!

Mac: And now I own a racy Gaston drink coaster. Because no... one...
Boasts like Gaston,
Pounds down toasts like Gaston,
And falls flat under drinks and then coasts like Gaston!

Whyyy do wannabe politicians keep finding new things to get upset at rather than legislation about things that actually affect their constituency ugh.

Oh right because they think the goal is to grab control, rather than to serve...

If there's one thing the GOP can't stop thinking about, it's bathrooms. Freud would have a field day.

Some people will go to any lengths to abuse others.

Ironically, a litterbox or similar flat receptacle is a fairly popular multispecies toilet in Terramagne precisely because it can accommodate a wide range of body shapes. A toilet, especially the American-style throne, is pretty much just for human body shapes. At least a squat toilet, the Middle Eastern floor-style, is a bit more accommodating.

I wonder if they've gotten around to banning Wudumates yet? Because that is a lawsuit waiting to happen, given how often Muslims injure themselves trying to wash their feet in a sink.
