Oooph. Yes, I know they aren't appropriate for all people experiencing symptoms, and I hope at some point more research helps point to more options.

ICE detainee in Arizona dies after not receiving medical attention for severe tooth pain Emmanuel Damas, a Haitian asylum seeker, was being held at the Florence correctional center before he died

A Haitian asylum seeker detained by ICE died after being refused timely medical attention for a severe toothache.

At least 40 people have died in ICE custody since Trump took office β€” a two-decade high.

The monstrous cruelty of Trump's police state knows no bounds.

Because it's not! There are options, from hormonal treatment to supplements and even CBD. Good luck.

Women (on average) spend a third of our lives in post menopause. We don't have to spend it decaying into dust.

I am in a group chat with my girlfriends about this right now. They are still in peri, but I am full blown post menopause crone era.

For my Gen X girlies that remember asymmetrical haircuts did you talk to your doctor about HRT yet? I did. My sleep can be fixed.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

I love a male house finch. They look like they got splashed with paint.

My tween was definitely using his name and pronouns with his peers before he came out to me (and then his dad).

I am mystified by people with PTO in their Slack status who respond to messages. GTFO of here. Go be on vacation! You left a coverage plan. Trust your team. We got you.

Much like it’s taken some journalists years to admit that Donald Trump is indeed a fascist, so will others wait until we’re weeks, months or years into a war with Iranβ€”or whichever countries he decides to target nextβ€”to say this needs to end. What would happen if, instead of waiting to see how this all plays out, we just say no, here and now. No waiting for the administration to get their story straight, no entertaining a million different justifications for why it’s actually worth all this death and destruction and money (Jesus Christ, the money!) What if those of us with a conscience and a modicum of influence just said no to war, regardless of oil prices, and before there are boots on the ground?
If you draw a moral line mere days into this war, you won’t have to do years of soul-searching to figure out what was obvious from the start. You won’t have to conduct a years-long mea culpa campaign explaining how, as a β€œpolicy wonk,” you were so sure war was the right choice at the time, but you were indeed wrong. As nice as it is to see someone like Bill Kristol pivot late in life to policies more progressive than most of Congress and vocally opposing war in Iran, he can’t takesies backsies cheerleading a war that destroyed untold lives. Hindsight is not required for 20/20 vision; we need only pay attention to history.

I would complain about the time change but anything that makes this year feel a tiny bit shorter (for now) is worth it.

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?
