There is. So. Much. Rage.

-- and hey, how's that for a cheery title for my first LJ post in months?

I'd been planning to start posting more often again, and I was gonna make this a What's Been Up With Me Lately sort of thing -- stuff about the apartment we're attempting to buy and the ohmygod job offer I got yesterday and similar. But I decided to save that for a later post.

Because I read this. To which I am linking with permission of the author. (Selkie's a recent addition to my flist; I met her through [livejournal.com profile] milliways_bar, which is another thing I will tell you all about next time.)
[ETA: Link removed, as post has been locked -- see below.]

It's about a very personal, very ugly civil rights violation. All perfectly legal and perfectly horrifying.

This story we spread.

Good god.

Wait, no, strike that. That is truly horrible. For the first time in my life, my faith has been truly shaken. I don't know if god is good any more.

I don't know if I'm ever flying again.

And people wonder why I've become agoraphobic. It's because of assholes like those TSA workers.

I'm calling the british consulate when I wake. And then I'll go over by boat.
