As we bring another Transgender Day of Remembrance to a close, remember that the violence does not end on the 21st. We are being killed every day.

Do what you can, on any level you can, to help make it end: Write a letter to a congressman, vote for a bill, tell a friend. We are being killed - and we must do anything and everything we can to stop it.

We now go back to our regularly scheduled reshares and occasional "well, I thought it was funny" posts.

So...I did actually try to go to In N Out Burger today for their grand opening. While trying to find the end of the line, some guy thought I was trying to cut in the line, jumped out of his car, and slammed on my hood and yelled all sorts of fun at me. I went to Burger Boy instead. Better burgers, anyways.

Stay classy, San Antonio.

I felt it was inappropriate to "self-aggrandize" on the Day of Remembrance (it's about them, not me), I wrote a small op-ed piece for the Advocate for this year's DOR (which was the "cathartic" DOR thing I mentioned last week). You can read it here: http://www.advocate.com/…/11/20/op-ed-rage-against-dying-li… .

I didn't choose the title, and I don't like having "Rage" in it, but the words in the piece are what matter. Also, I have to apologize for under-numbering the dead. The list I saw had eighty. The list at the vigil I went to had 226.

While I did little in the way of the Day of Remembrance compared to others (I'm lookin' at you Gwendolyn Ann Smith and Ethan St Pierre) DOR is something deeply personal to me, and it felt good to do something (anything) for it again.

Next year, I may even draw a comic, Laura Ess....

I broke my rule not to read the comments. Now I have a sad.

Remember, kids, DON'T READ THE COMMENTS.

Brock Peters > James Earl Jones. Proof: The scene from 7m 10s to the end of this clip always gives me chills - http://youtu.be/n_sx7s6U7P0?t=7m10s
