'We do not tolerate transphobia OR cisphobia'
Cisphobia is not a thing. Heterophobia is not a thing.
An individual may be suspicious, wary or prejudiced against people they perceive or know to be cis / straight.

Scheduled sleeping
Today I made kind of a promise to step up my sleeping game and start going to bed earlier.

First We Take Manhattan...
Yup, took Berlin roughly from behind. Such a gigantic, wonderful, multi-faceted city would really need more than a measly five days of attention, but one does one's best.
