Between believing violent crime is high while it’s as low as it was in the 60’s, the “shoplifting” panic, this, and more, one must understand that the majority of America is living in a completely constructed, terrifying reality untethered from actual world.
What a nightmare. I am officially ashamed of my alma mater @txst.edu

This is exactly why so many disabled patients are terrified to go to the hospital.

there's also people claiming we trans people are "holding allies to a purity test" here and to be clear:
"Don't participate in stuff that actively funds the campaign to exterminate us" is a pretty fucking low bar. One might say it's not even "allyship," it's just decency.

Today, we at Google have a new product: what if you could could ask an app a question? Oh, we do that already? Well, what if we were a little bit worse at it? What if we also sometimes gave you egregiously wrong information? And what if it cost a billion dollars? Still not interested? It's mandatory
This was an idle thought when I posted it, but trans folks: If you have wishlists of items you need/want for your transition, surgery/hrt fundraisers, or MA needs, drop your links here.
