It’s genuinely shocking if you’re remotely familiar with the basic facts of trans care and youth medicine.
It is *profoundly* difficult to access gender-affirming care as a minor and the Times has printed more than a dozen articles implying that it is too easy.
just kind of thinking about the fact the nyt sent a breaking news alert when a college kid said something dumb about Zionists but not when Amnesty International said it had determined that Israel is committing genocide
The fact that the author of Say Nothing worked at the Pentagon as special advisor to Defense Secretary (and former CIA director) Robert Gates doesn’t mean the show is a psyop—but it does explain why I kept yelling “This show is a psyop” at the TV every 5 minutes www.counterpunch.org/2019/05/02/a...
Exactly. The anti-maskers & anti-vaxxers won in the end because their worldview actually matched that of Biden’s public health officials more than many Dems want to admit. Both sides truly thought eugenics was the most logical & only reasonable solution.
(It wasn’t. In addition to being inhumane.)
Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.
Probably too early but is there defense fund?
Slightly diff energy: my mom’s pup is named Stevie Licks, but we call her Steven when she’s being bad. (Yes, I was the one who named her)
@LauraMiers post from X.com: Everyone is conveniently leaving this app ahead of the H5N1 pandemic. This app was a central source for public health communications & COVID data internationally, & the powers-that-be have spent the last 4 years trying to break it for this reason. There have been waves of coordinated attacks on scientists & The Sick & Suffering, driving wedges between allies & driving experts off the app. We have been Divided & Conquered on purpose, & our corporate overlords are preparing to freely exploit humanity for the duration of the H5N1 pandemic. Covid was merely a trial run. 6:43 AM • 11/13/24 From Earth
As people continue fleeing x—very understandably!—I want to point out 1 thing. The disabled community doesn’t have the luxury of leaving in the same way abled people do. For us it’s been a key survival tool, especially during the ongoing pandemic. Before she died, Tinu talked about this a lot. And:
In a couple weeks you're all going to meet the 16-year-old trans girl who's challenge to a ban on gender-affirming medical care is being heard at SCOTUS and I'm going to need you all to 1) be loud and thankful for how badass she's being and 2) fight for her like your life depends on it
The art historians do karaoke night every year at Kzoo though!
Bummerrrr
Does it import people you follow?
The Biden-Harris administration gave Israel 30 days to allow aid into Northern Gaza. Last week Israel announced it wouldn’t allow Palestinians to return to their homes there (ie ethnic cleansing), and it hasn’t allowed aid. Today, the US confirmed it won’t enforce any consequences.
Prem thakker post 🚨 US State Department says it has *not* made an assessment that Israel is in violation of US law, in reference to the 30-day US deadline for Israel to improve conditions in Gaza. Says there is no policy change to announce.
Remember when the Biden Harris administration announced that Israel had 30 days to knock it off or there would be consequences?
Yeah. No one was buying it then for good reason. Mostly because the deadline was right *after* the election.
The number of confederate flags outside homes along 96 S in upstate NY always boggled my mind
Folks: A number of the most committed fascist trolls are coming over here and trying to create a presence, presumably bc Xitter will quickly lose its value as everyone migrates. One way to combat them is to use @numb.comfortab.ly 's list to mass block them.
I hate to ruin this place for everyone, but tomorrow the house is voting on HR 9495, which would give the executive branch the power to--without due process--designate any org "terrorist-supporting" and deny it non-profit status. Call your reps now.
people deny the existence of aliens when mitch mcconnell has been in front of us this entire time
Parked blue BMW with vanity plate that says “MLM Baby”
I have so many questions about this very cursed car in my neighborhood
AFAIK just me and @saintsoftness.bsky.social
This is like the first date after a break up when you have to come up with something to talk about other than your ex who was always asking for money and was obsessed with rate limits
it’s legal to enjoy a beer but also hate america and hope it dies
I have nothing to contribute here either

How long before my bluesky feed is as unhinged as my Twitter one
i’m begging elon musk to purchase the company that has my private student loans, put them out of business due to stupidity please
