Hey, everybody, welcome back to transcending humanity. This is episode 11 Already, which is kind of mind boggling. We originally had a guest lined up for today. That isn't Lisa's dog. But, hi, Lisa's dog! Hi Luna. But the guest uh didn't show up. So I just did a quick call to action on our Discord and Devin poppedon. So welcome, Devin. And so quick introductions from everybody. You know, me I'm Vanessa and executive producer. And yeah, um, so whoever wants to do another quick Hi, next.
Okay, you got a slight me because I'm like, I can't see anybody else. But you and I. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. So Taryn Talley. I've been in marketing and design forever. Feel like it's been over a quarter century? And I think it has. I love being a positive voice for the community that all my intersections and I am thrilled to be on another episode transcending humanity with my favorite eyeshadow girl, Vanessa.
Thank you, Devin. Yeah,
I'm Devin. I work in financial services and compliance for my day job and I run trans rolling, which is a membership work. Happy to be here happy to hop on to sorry that the person wasn't able to attend this time.
I was just going to tell people that be sure to look up trans rally. I'm going to have a link in the description. Wonderful organization, Devin, points their heart into it. So be sure to check that out and sign up for membership. It's not too expensive. And it goes to a really good cause. So sorry, go ahead, Lisa.
No worries. No worries. Hi, Devon. It's nice to meet you too. Nice to meet you. I'm Lisa Magnussen. That was my my guests. It was supposed to be here. I don't know what happened. But time zones are always crazy. So especially when you start getting further like Taryn is in California. So you know, it's much earlier for her. So I'm a I'm the mama bear are one of them all members of the group. I'm an ally. And this is I love being on the show. It makes my Can I say it? Can I say it?
See whatever you went this was to shoot the ship to shoot the shit. Yeah, it is totally fun to shoot the shit. So we don't have any real Why is my brain that we might bring never works? We don't have any. Yeah. And the topic on this episode. This was actually planned to be for next week, but here we are. So let's just talk about shit going on. Trump was just indicted. Gay. Yeah. We all know that probably. Absolutely. Nothing's gonna come from that. And his base doesn't give a flying fuck because
he's rich.
Yeah, I honestly don't know what would make his face turn against him at this point. Like he could. He could strangle a baby on live TV and they would still like them. Or like him, so
I mean, he said it shoot and shoot someone on Fifth Avenue. Yeah, exactly.
How you Luna. We have more. We have more people. Hopefully we might even have even more popping on so I Luna say hi really quick.
Hi, everyone. I'm Luna. I think I've met two of you
know more than that.
What is in the background?
This is an antique 1895 Walking suit.
That's so cool. No,
I love it. Yeah, that sounds
good. Be pictured size measured and.
Okay. So yeah, Atlanta, we were just this is just a completely spur the moment we honestly have no idea what we're doing. shoot the shit episode. So I had just brought up the orange menace. No relation to the trans menace over here, Taryn. But in the indictment. So what do you all think about this crazy bullshit that's probably going to have no impact on the Republican base?
before? Yeah.
Personally, I mean, reading the indictment. This is some serious crime. Again, crime like if members of the armed military did this, they would be imprisoned for life.
Yeah, if not executed. Yeah, exactly. I
mean, I always I always tell people the analogy and this has gone back for like 2030 years. But like, certain classes of people in the states can get away with practically murder the rest of us like, you know, it's joke because I'm trained and can and trans that I'd be in Guantanamo Bay for 30 or 40 years. So, you know, like, locked up, this guy might slither away, but, you know, I'm hoping the rule of law prevails and that he faces some justice or obviously like a life of
crime. So I'm hopeful but not like,
yeah,
it's I heard someone say his drag name is now I need a pardon. Me strike. Okay. I mean,
yeah, honey. Remember when we like look up, looked up to him back on September 11. And we were like, oh, yeah, like, what a leader? What happened? Now he's in a movie trying to get a girl to suck him off. I mean,
that was so cringe. It really was.
That's the thing. You know, I always laugh. I don't know. Is it from the Art of War? When they talk about absolute power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Is it? Is it
art of war by? It's gotta be. Yeah,
but I mean, it's like, oh, I need this. To be this. I have this. And it's not just in our politician. And it's throughout society. Because we have that we I saw that in education all the time. I can imagine a little bit, you know, they they move into a vice principal, or they move into central office, and it's like, poof, their brain just goes. Just a scoop, or
it's can be absolutely insane. You see so much bullshit going on school boards cross country. Did you speaking of
school boards, did you see the teacher in Florida who laid it all out and said, I'm not the only one that's going to be doing this? No one quitting? Oh, he, he rammed the school board. He was like you are not providing us as teachers a safe haven, you are not providing our students a safe haven. And you're telling me I have to out somebody, when I'm trying to protect them? What does that showing them? Me and he was, and I was like, That is why one of the reasons I quit teaching.
It's the parents in the school boards. And then there was a young lady who addressed her school board about banning. And, again, I'm talking high school student, she was phenomenal. And it was like, you want to ban books, but you haven't even read them. And it's like, you're reading short pieces of them and throwing this big ol hissy fit. I'm just like, if a book makes you uncomfortable, that means you need to be talking about it. So you get into a comfort and be able to because that's, that's
growing. Because like, there was another day on in Virginia, Virginia Beach, that rammed the school board, because he has a trans child. And he goes, I send them to you, with the hope that they're being protected, and you're not. So I have to sit and undo damage that you have caused. Yeah,
it's funny, because half of the craziness that happens on the school board meetings don't even make national news. And I was telling someone the other day about a situation at my children's Middle School. And they were just like, Do you need help getting out of Florida. And like they were genuinely asking, they're like, You should move XYZ because like, this is insane. I was like, You guys have no idea how crazy it is down here. Just the other day, my my husband got a call from
the school. And they're like, Oh, you're your child. so and so. And my husband replied to Yeah, he is. He's there. He's being bullied. So we would appreciate if you guys, you know, took care of that. And the school is like, Why do you keep calling them he, you know, we're talking about this child? And my husband's like, Yes, you are talking about this child. And he goes by fee. And this school board but the teacher or whoever called was so upset. And they were just like,
I didn't choose like,
like on a daily basis, the hoops you have to jump through being I'm not trans myself, obviously, it's my child, but like, like, I'm scared for him every day he goes to school, like, is he coming home today? You know, and it's just and you're right, Lisa, like the school board meetings are absolutely insane. And like I said, some of the really crazy ones don't even make it to
national news. And we have parents screaming we have parents crying you I think you go to these meetings, you'll see that the majority of the parents are like, don't do this, and the school board's like, Screw you, we don't care. And they will do whatever they want. Because you can go and you can plead, and they will just look at you and be like, Oh, we've already made our mind up, and we don't give a damn what you have to say about it.
No, that's exactly the truth.
No, for sure. I mean, I think with the book burning, burning, sorry, that's coming next. Yes,
definitely.
I think with the book banning, I saw an interesting stat, I can't remember where it was. But like, they were saying that something like sporting or 50, maybe even over 50% of people report more than one book, right. And these are habitual, these are astroturf movements. So I don't know if you all remember, because I'm gonna sell the teabagger movement. I call it the teabagger movement, because that's what they are. So they weren't the Tea Party movements, the teabagger. Look it up people
google it, you'll see why. So, with the teabaggers, in their astroturfing, we're seeing the same thing with the book burning, burning, burning again, Jesus, I'm like foretelling the future. But with that having those small, angry, hateful dissenters, right are making a
huge impact on everyone else. I mean, it's like, tyranny for the tyranny from the minority is accurate, but I don't even think it goes that far, like, we're talking about so many, like, so small, but number of people are so virulent in their heat, and their emptiness, or lack of empathy, and the smallness of their character, that they are just making it bad for everyone that they can, I mean, even in like Southern California, like they had hundreds come out for that one thing, and they were
just acknowledging Pride Month in a school district, like they've done five years before. And you had the wackadoodles come right out that small, vocal, hateful minority, right to just to push their opinion, their agenda of like, just hate and separation across. And I mean, it just, and giving them a platform is just, it's nauseating, because they feel like all of our allies, right, and people come up, and they'll speak at these these board meetings, or they'll speak or
whatever. And it's almost like, we just have to do it, because it's like, they have to hear from other people besides the vocal angry, Bob. But it's like the vocal angry mob knows how to manipulate the system. Yeah. Got to like, I mean, not all of us can be visible, but we got to get out there and droves. Right, and just do and show them that like this far, no further, like,
we are pushing back. And I saw that one article on HuffPost I shared on LinkedIn was like, you know, Florida is they're seeing activation in the state of Florida, right? Where people are being pushed into, like, just back in the closet or back into nothingness. And I think people and allies are starting to rise up. So I'm hoping that like, you know, I'm a bit of a dork. So I'm just gonna make a Star Wars
analogy. You know, it feels like you know, we've been dealing with de Santos and the Empire striking back, I think it's the Return of the Jedi is going to start right where maybe we can get some balance. So we can actually push back against these things. protect human beings, we're just talking about protecting people, treating them like humans and giving them the
same basic, right? So like, I'm invigorated to see float people in Florida in a state of ignorance rising up, and it inspires me to take a more like visible presence. So I'm hoping all of us can just rise up and just like, stem this wave. Sorry, that was a huge rant. Yeah,
that's good.
Um, I had a brain dropping, to borrow a phrase from George Carlin. But I'm a little even a little more jaded to in that. I think that personally, and this is like watched succession Great show. Because it kind of I think shows a little bit of how the world of the uber rich works, even if it is kind of dropped dramatized. But honestly, I think that it's just a game to them, literally, and it's literally there. These people are just pawns. And
they're like, Okay, cool. This is a way for us to get power. All right, let's feed the message, let's feed the message across all these channels. Let's get people riled up so we can get more power. And kind of they've kind of taken over the wheel, so to speak of the right. And the political bus. That's, that's, that's going and you know, the other people I guess, who are ideologically different have lost the wheel. So they're kind of just not really
important anymore. And it's just like we just everything that we do needs to be scientific almost, in that we try to do certain things, wait, and then see whether those things have a positive effect and If they do continue them, or do things, wait, and if it does nothing, then that's kind of a waste and a black hole of energy that we're putting our people kind of putting your energy towards. That's like, that's just just my piece. And I think that in some ways, partially, you know, my
opinion is as well. A lot of energy is spent trying to shame people who don't have shame. And, yeah,
that you just nailed it right there. Because they don't. It's that that's the entire Republican platform right now is they can do anything they want, and the Republican basis and claim to care. So like pushing back is everyone's been talking about that's, you're sitting in the school board meetings in state legislators, state legislature, their egos, hearings and stuff like that, where the proponents of the hate are given tons of time to talk.
And then the people trying to push back against this people like us, we're like, we just want to fucking live, okay, isn't that hard. And they're getting silenced, but they're not gonna be able to silence us forever. Because there's more and more and more of us becoming vocal about it. And, you know, if there's people quite literally like trying to beam down the doors of the that they've locked them out of the legislature, that kind of stuff
happening. Like they're not going to, I'm hoping that we're not going to sway the fire rate base. But there are a lot of moderates. And I'm hoping that the moderate starts taking this shit and like, this is kind of messed up. So in what we really need, are the Democrats to actually step up and do something. I mean, how long has that equality act been? Is it what since the 80s, something stupid like that, and some version
of it for decades? Yeah, we need action now. I mean, we have like three gunshot wounds, and you're putting up in band aid from Walgreens.
I think it just in my opinion, not to, like dominate or anything. I just think that I mean, and Martin Luther King, Jr. In his Letter from a Birmingham prison or jail, said that the white moderate is the biggest issue in the struggle for racial justice in this 60s that's continuing today. And so I think it's kind of a mistake, to hope that people who have not stood up will stand up. And I think that we just need to take the means into our own hands. Because I think that no one's
going. We can't count on anyone saving us. Oh,
those words from Devin are, wisdom, wisdom people.
Because you're talking about, yes, it's all about me. I'm not going to step up and protect anybody else. I'm more worried about me and my bottom line.
You and
it's sad. Because we were, we used to be a great country. And...
Were we?
probably before all of us were born.
It was I mean,
From an indigenous perspective, it's been questionable. But yes, yeah,
maybe during the Civil War, when we were just the union, it might have been a little a little bit greater. I don't
hear us to a lot of other nations. Yeah.
You're not going to convince me that we were ever great, honestly. Sorry.
We weren't good.
Maybe mediocre really? Possible at best, but I will, you know, we all have our opinions. So
I just I received
someone, you know, someone mentioned Hitler. And I was just like, you know, it's funny how many people were like, Yeah, I punch Hitler. And, you know, take him out if I could travel back in time, like, all those same people. Like you're staring at him right now. You're staring at his reincarnation, and you're voting for him. So like, do you see this? And they truly don't. They
just they can't see it. And you know, as someone who unintentionally was with someone who did not realize he had a favoritism towards his own race, and all other races kind of seemed lesser to him, unintentionally. He, you know, I was working for quite a while before I realized this. And he himself has been 15 years and he's still struggling to fight. Kind of, he's like, Oh, that's how I was raised. You know, this
is what's right. It took me eight years to convince him that this is Have a ward wasn't about states rights eight years. And it actually wasn't me who convinced him it was another person of his own race of his own gender. That it like, that's what took pushing him, me on the side where he gets really mad at me and say, Oh, you're wrong, you're just being a racist. And I'm like, No, read, I read, do you read you should read. And the you know, he's like, Oh, that's not what I learned. And
it's just like, Okay. As I was telling someone the other day, I was like, it is great that we have so many allies. And you all ask what you can do to help, here's what you can do to help. You can stand up, you can educate the people around you, you can say, being trans is not a problem. Being non binary is not a problem, you are making a problem that doesn't exist. They're human, you're a human, what's the problem? We all bleed
red. You know, we all have organs, we all use our heart to live like, we are all essentially the same race, you know, just just as human to human race. And people don't see
that. So what we need from our allies, what we need from people who are just, I don't know what to do, you talk to the people around you, you call them out when they are saying something that's homophobic, transphobic, anti LGBTQIA, you call them out, because you calling them out, when they see you as appear as an equal, that's going to make so much more difference, then people of the LGBTQ community going after them, because they're not going to listen to them. They're already seen as
less of a voice. And it's just, it's crazy.
I mean, small actions add up, right. And it's small actions can be anything, like cutting out toxic people in your life, right? Standing up volunteering, like, the one thing I tried to get across to my social media is, like, there are plenty of things to do. So if you're an ally, I'm using my air quotes. And you're like, What do I do? You're not trying hard enough that you need to look at the definition of ally, okay, because it's about boots
on the ground. It's about going like, I mean, you don't like pride is grading parties and orchards and stuff. I volunteer prior to volunteer to get on the safety team, right? To make sure the community is okay. Right. And that everybody's having an amazing time. And we're having this huge community and this experience and everything, like volunteer donate money, right?
Like stop somebody in their trucks report a trans vote, you know, report somebody who's harassing somebody for No, no matter what it is right there. ethnicity or religion or whatever it is. Right. Like, we have to stop thinking, I think you touched on a little bit about you know, just like that. Mee Mee Mee Mee Mee, right? That's the colonizing capitalistic BS that America has been thriving on for two
centuries. Right? And probably longer, because I mean, colonization kind of had a capitalist switch to all about revenue for the crown. But, you know, it's like, we have to break away from me, right, and Luna, to your point, it's that human species, right. And race is a construct. Like, it's just like, we're all the same being, you know, like, without, like, no skin, we're all the same. Okay, we had similar organs, we get similar features, stuff like that. That kind of stuff was
created out of colonization. And I find like, a lot of the transphobic stuff that I run into, even in the indigenous community sometimes is from that colonization piece, right? About in it, there's a Christian kind of colonization, capitalistic, that thing that I think taints a lot of the stuff that we see, and we've got to kind of decolonize ourselves, right and realize that like for us who are trans, we've been here, from millennia, to spirit people have existed before Western Society
was formed. Right?
They were feared they were revealed.
Yeah, I mean, just like that. No, it's fine. But I'm pleased, thank you for adding that. Right. It was like, we had a position, not a power but of healing, right? of leadership of of, of helping, like provide a different view or an angle, right, by channeling both spirits, right, that dates like modern your life, like
centuries, millennia, right? And it's like, so if you're running around saying, hey, when I was like Thanksgiving for da Gama high school, I didn't know there was no transcript or gay people. I'm like, yeah, there were, they
were so terrified. They were buried in classes so deep wrapped in lives that were not their own, right out of fear of rejection out of fear of unemployment, out of fear of poverty, like the, what we have to go through in this journey, and I'm going to stop right after this, but what we have to go through in this journey, right? It's like, like, we have always been here. We have been beaten down on the outskirts of society. We have not been
included. We've only seen recent gains, and then recent decades, right? But it's like, there were people in your 1959 high school class, I can guarantee you that were trans or were gay or whatever, right? They were just scared to death. I know in high school, I was scared to death as I was unpacking my thing. I mean, it's like, we have to acknowledge that this has existed. This is not a new thing. And Luna to your point about Nazis. And one of the first attacks they did was on
the first gender clinic. And you're right, there are trans women who were murdered in the streets and their bodies never found. This is the fascist playbook. We're seeing it in Florida. We're seeing it throughout the country. Right? They attack the difference. And like for the Nazis, that was it, and they burn a lot of trans non binary gender, gender non conforming history, when they did that. That's what people need to noodle on. Sorry, I'm not going into these intenso boxes. Sorry about that.
That's what we're here for. That's what this what this is.
You're fine. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off. That's okay.
I'm going to tag on to what Taryn said, will not the 1950s but and I know Vanessa's heard this, my dad was in the military. And he he knows he had officers. He was an NCO. He had officers that were married at the front. But were gay in the back. You know, they they hit that they were downtrodden. They would lose their commission. They would you know, society that would have been at the time, you're going to elevens worth, you know, because you're not officer material, or you're
not soldier material. And even from the ally standpoint, and I'm agree with Luna, and Taryn, any little thing you do to boost the community of any marginalized community. Keep doing it, because that will become a habit. And as soon when you've got that habit, you're going to start making people see oh, hey, that person just stood up for that. Maybe I need to do that, too. And that's why, you know, I constantly on LinkedIn, when I see people, I'm like, Hey, you want to talk about ally
ship? Come talk to me, you know, pin me, private message me, whatever, I'll be glad. Because this podcast was I had talked to Liam because I had a dream about it. And I said, I just don't know anything about how to do it. And I will thank God for Vanessa every day, because she took off with it. And it's one of those things where I, I try to come as often as I can. This is my happy time. I'm like, Oh my gosh, this is a community of people I love, I cherish my claim you as family because of
your differences. Because I've always thought that if we were the same mold, all the way through life would be so freakin boring. And I don't I'm tired of my family being shoved into closets and ground and not even having documentation of where they died. You know, I mean,
that's, that's horrible. And I and knowing that the marginalized communities are the ones that are extremely under attack, we need to step up as better people, better humans, because every single person on this podcast is a person. They're human. Yeah. And I love them for who they are not what society dictates they should be.
Yeah, and I just wanted to tack on to ironically because the last time I was on it was what is Ally ship. So once again, having this conversation but ally ship takes sacrifice. And there is a cost to be born. Either you have to be willing to make a sacrifice, a real sacrifice, either time skill, or if you're not donate to people who are Yeah, because everything
takes work. You can't just you can't shout because you might as well I guess it without backing that shouting up, be shouting in the middle of like the Pacific Ocean. You know, and so it's like, that's, I think, where there's somewhat of a disconnect as well. Because, you know, I can get 25,000 impressions on a LinkedIn post or whatever. But what does that truly amount to? You know what I mean? Yeah, so, just wanted to say
is that 20,000 equate 20,000 allies doing some Today? Oh, yeah, I, I, you know, I agree, or I like this take action.
And I mean is that 25,000 going to anybody that is outside of the normal circle people that sees your stuff, that's the other thing, you know, because the algorithms going to, the algorithm generally doesn't throw a conservative person a bunch of clear content unless they're interacting with it. But the follow up on, I think it's something Liam shared, somebody
shared. But if you're an ally, if you consider yourself an ally, and you're not getting hit with the same rocks that are being thrown at, at the marginalized community, you're not standing close enough. And I think that's a really good way of putting it honestly. Because it's, so I wanted to say something to kind of touch on what tan said how we are all pretty much the same underneath our skin. And we've, we've talked a lot about how I'm not going to try to read and
religion too much here. But just going back out, since a lot of the stuff going against us right now is brought on by religious Christian religious extremists, which I'm sure we can all agree that's happening. To touch on what Taryn said, the Christian religion has a lot based around Adam and Eve, which means that we're all supposed to have come from the same two people. So how are we actually different if we're actually all technically related? It's kind of mind
boggling, you know? So how did white people get considered superior? At I don't see it, we're pale. We can't go in the sun where, you know. Yeah, that I have no idea where I'm going, you know, but,
you know, you said that would be out of him. Right. Like, when I was a kid, like literally 10 or 11 years old, I still realized, like, I was like, Wait a minute. So the mom had sex with her children. I'm like, No, I didn't do that seems wrong. Like, I mean, it was like, third, fourth, fifth grade. And I'm just like, Dude, this is gross. You know, like, you
threw a couple of versions. And if you like, read the whole Bible, you will have so many more questions, but it's,
yeah, it's crazy.
Like when I who talked about Sodom and Gomorrah, was it you and I that had that discussion? It's not everything you think that? I mean, stop and think I'm, we've all talked about it. It's, it is that whitewash of history? Yeah. And the Bible is whitewashed and patriarchal because the people who use started picking the books from the Bible for the Bibles, because you know, Catholic, has a Bible, then everybody else has the Bible than everybody else has the
Bible. They were all done at one specific, the Nicaea creed, or Nicaea, convention, so to speak. That's where the Bibles were formed. And Catholics added, every Protestants didn't after Martin Luther did his thing. But their man created, I'm not going to say man written. They were written by man. But my personal opinion is that they were influenced by a spirit. God, but all of this is man constructed.
And I had and there was something on LinkedIn yesterday, about, you know, the Bible was written by man, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I just said, you know, what I said, religion is man created. I'm gonna leave it at that sending you lots lots of good vibes and little mom hugs. Because that's, I mean, it's true. comes in.
And I'll give a couple examples to just on that idea as well. Coca Cola created Santa Claus to sell more coke. as just an example, like the modern red suited Santa Claus Coca Cola made and kind of popularized. Ford and GM literally created the concept of jaywalking, because they wanted the streets to be for the cars so that they can sell more cars. So everything that we live in, generally, is there you know, if someone can make a business case for changing society's opinion,
then they'll do it. Same thing to you'll see with, in my opinion, right of repair and software subscription as a service. The A Corporation's are like, it's does it make sense for you to now own the thing that you bought? We want to own it, let it live in the cloud, and take that power away, because it's a recurring revenue stream for everybody. And that's, you know, you'll see in the next 1020 years, you own
less and less stuff. Because that's just something that was decided by the Cabal, I guess it just makes good business sense. And we'll try to change culture to accept that. And so if Coca Cola can create Santa Claus, I feel like we have the power to propose an alternative. So it's, it just would require actually having a plan and executing on that plan. Versus in power in power? And yeah, so So just wanted to say those are just a couple of examples of how we
live in a society. Now Q like the Joker dancing.
We are. I mean, I don't know who else listens to the Young Turks a lot. I mean, I fucking love them. But one of the main things they talk about is how this entire company company, this country is just run by corporations. It's just everything is just all the politicians, both sides are not all of them, but many of the politicians on both sides are bought and paid for.
So that's just Yeah, I wanted to bring up one last thing on the religion thing which atheists are all it's kind of like, but Christians next time you go to church, look at the picture of Jesus on the wall. If he's a white guy, ask your pastor why.
Vanessa wants everyone kicked out kicked out of the church.
I mean, I think it's a brilliant point. Yeah. Yes.
Why would there be one white guy born in the Middle East?
Me lace? That's?
Yeah. So
I don't know if it was our conversation on a couple of episodes or whatever. But I have always said, you cannot tell me in the group of 12 of Christ's disciples
that they were all straight.
Twelve guys were roaming through the desert together,
three and a half years of ministry. Nobody ever says anything
ministering to each other. All right. Well, in
my whole thing, too. And I and I probably would have gotten excommunicated for this. And I said anything. But DaVinci Code that Tom Hanks was in the theory that Christ and Mary Magdalene were a couple that wouldn't surprise me. would not surprise me just like, because this is this is where I get on my soapbox, and I'm not going to but this is why I practice agape Christianity. loving everybody. And not saying oh, well, you know, you really miss is wrong. Okay, yeah, that might say it's
wrong. But look at how Christ acted. Yeah, he accepted everyone. He loved everyone. Yeah. And it's not your position here to do what he's going to do elsewhere.
I can bet you he had a lot of sex, sexual intercourse, probably outside of marriage. He was probably just doing all kinds of sexy things.
And don't forget he's so brown socialist. Is that Yeah,
that's so socially embraced by the white fascist. Okay,
we started like restaurants that um, so reservation dogs. And so my plug for one of my favorite shows.
That Vanessa, you need to watch. I started watching it.
When I walked into a church reservation dogs. Okay. One of the one of the characters walks into a church. He's like, Hey, what's up? Boy, Jesus. That's just how it is for me when I go there. It's like, yeah, hey, thanks for Jesus for nothing.
Exactly. We are. Go ahead, Devin.
There's also a really funny comic too. I think it was Stephen Colbert, or someone like that who did supply side Jesus and there's a really good YouTube video if you just look that up. It's like a little comic that's like, it's read I think by some some community and I forget the name, but it's really funny. And so it's kind of just like, talking about what if the Jesus that Republicans believe existed, what he would actually say that supply side Jesus, it's really funny, I'd rather recommend it
would accuse me of being a boomer
It is because you called it the YouTube. Listen to the YouTube.
Yeah. Like I'm like this. Watch the YouTube, watch the
YouTube.
Actually, I thought I thought you were gonna say watch the YouTube channel and continue
to YouTube. I was like,
literally, literally. Sometimes I just say weird things.
Listen, I'm old, I'm a Gen X or give me some slack. Okay, fine, whatever,
like calling yourself old.
Call your You look younger, and I do. Exactly. So okay, we are right up against the two o'clock hour, you know? No, Taryn has to leave. So anyone have any final quick thoughts they want to pop on in?
Just, I will say it from an ally standpoint of view, please, if you have questions, contact us. Let us know. And we'll we'll talk to you
on TerraForm right on website. And I
just really sorry, no, go ahead. No, you go. I don't have anything else to say. Okay, please join the riot. Yeah, I'm
gonna say Yeah, same thing for me. Right. And like, if you need something reach out, happy to help having some great conversations with folks. Devin, you and I talked in gonna be working on hopefully working together and some stuff. Like we can do this. You know, I believe that like, yeah, why? By what we're facing is tough right now. Right? on multiple fronts. I mean, this is a multi friend engagement, they are coming after us, right? I believe in the end, like we will prevail,
and we will do it together. Like hand in hand, because it's like everything that we're talking about in everything that most of us touch somewhere on social media, where it's might be anti racist, or, you know, promoting the LGBTQ T two s IA or whatever. And, you know, I mean, it's like, it's the intersection of all of us rising together as one and standing up for what we not only need, but what we deserve as people. And so I would just say to you, like, keep the faith. We will, we will
prevail. And we will do this together. And if you have to tap out that's fine. The others will stand. So yeah, do what you got to do be safe. And you know, we will always be here for you.
You're not alone. You have a community. And yeah, it's it's not going to be easy. This next probably half decades going to suck.
But it will get better.
It will be worth it. Yeah, exactly. So. Okay, everybody, anybody else have anything else you want to add?
I was actually going to add that. I know, things seemed like super dark right now. And if especially if you live in Florida, and it's going to be okay. And you're loved, you're very loved. And just remember that even though the minority of our voices are shouting at the top of their lungs, there's more of us than there are in them. And we love you. We accept you.
And you have a home with us. We just you know you come to us and we will we will make you feel happy and safe and loved because you are Yeah.
