This is what trans folks mean when we say "let us tell our stories". Will Ferrell used his clout and brand to get this made which obviously is being focused on him but the actual doc is very much Harper's story and most often in her own words. If folks won't give us a seat, pull out a chair.

Did you know that if you text “Check” to @resistbot (50409), they not only check your voter registration, but will continue to check it monthly to make sure you aren’t purged off the voter rolls, and will notify you if something changes? Take 30 seconds. It’s worth it.

A reminder: the first Western novel featured a cowboy advocate for women's suffrage who is killed by powerful cattlemen threatened by his populist politics.
