Tomorrow Morning (December 2023)
ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time.
But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned.
But I talked with many Trans friends, and itβs so much worse. They are in fear for their lives.

This is one reason why everyone with a bar license should be lining up to do pro bono habeas petitions for detainees right now.
I know so many people who are doing this. A few hours of training and you will save lives and families.

Plant City strawberries are starting to dwindle from the grocery store for the season, so the is may be the last of the strawberry shortcake for the year.

Did you know Latino men have the USβs highest risk of new HIV infections? They are 72% more likely to be diagnosed than the general populationβand in Minneapolis, they are skipping clinic visits for fear of ICE, report @cameronoakes.bsky.social & @unclosetedmedia.bsky.social
A new report and survey of trans people reports that 99% of them have had their mental health negatively affected by the barrage of anti trans stories in the UK media. 64% avoided medical care due to discrimination. This is a crisis.

As a lifelong Smashing Pumpkins fan, this is just utterly embarrassing. Or, to quote Kurt Loder on the matter, "sure."
Let this serve as a warning to Dems who abandon trans folks and vote for anti trans bills. You will be primaried, and you will lose.

A call script for elected representatives: U.S. attack on Iran: YOU: Hi, my name is [NAME]. Iβm a constituent from [ZIP CODE].

Do it now.
Yes, you can leave a message. Yes, call the DC offices.
Script here again.
Iβm not watching that video st 3am but I donβt need to see it know this is a grave violation of US and international law. From my area of study I can tell you that itβs easy to think the UN Charter doesnβt mean much, but we want to live in a world that values its prohibition on aggressive warfare

Things people with chronic illness wish you knew (but are too tired to explain) I'm not lazyβI'm exhausted. I cancel plans because I have to, not because I want to. Rest isn't a luxuryβit's a survival strategy. I'm grieving the life I used to have. Being told to "just push through" makes it worse. I want to feel better more than anyone else. You donβt have to understand it fullyβjust believe me when I say itβs real. cfshealth

Aileen in a blue hoodie and pink sunglasses and Ryan in a green button down shirt, both with voting stickers on, stand in front of a wall of little Halloween figures.
Itβs cold and rainy out, completely gross basically, and Iβve been fighting a massive flare for more than a week now, but nothing was going to stop us from voting in our primary.
NC friends, early voting end Saturday, get out there!
To everyone, never let slip by you a chance to use your voice!
