MORE follow-up on SNL and Lorne Michaels

Several weeks ago I sent an email to GLAAD about my concerns. I never got a response (usually GLAAD is reasonably responsive, so this was unexpected).

Last night, SNL ran a fake ad so transphobic and offensive that I felt like I was watching something from the 70s.

Here is a link to it:

Please be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Send an email to incident@glaad.org to make your concerns heard.

I used to have a blogroll, but when I went to look it over I found that many of the links were either broken or to blogs with which I no longer feel much affiliation. Some of them were still good, but... I may add more in later. We'll see. Mainly, I just want you to know about bookstore links. I do not in any way support the use of Amazon.com as a source for books. I know it's faster, and I know it's often cheaper, but Amazon.com does not have useful trans policies, and plus, I love me some independent bookstores. SO: find your local indie at indiebound.org, or just save yourself the trouble and order from powells.com or tatteredcover.com. Really, it's worth it.
