“When I started taking the drug, I’d look at the smooth, cylindrical capsule in my hand and consider the fact I was about to swallow something that costs about the same as a new iPhone. A month’s supply ... is the same price as a new Nissan Versa.” By @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social‬

"I asked ChatGPT" "I asked Grok" Well, I asked the High Priest to consult the Urim and Thummim on his breastplate to divine the will of the Holy One but they stopped giving answers after King David’s reign so I had to go use actual research skills instead to get the answers I needed.

These are very bad times. But there are a lot of good people here. We must continue to take care of one another and fight for one another. That's always been the work, that's always the work.

I had planned tomorrow off. At the beginning of the year work sent the "holiday sheet" & tomorrow was off. They changed it to friday not saying anything. I had been planning all week to be off & sleep in tomorrow. Nope. Friday they gave us off. Tomorrow. No banks or mail. But we are off friday.

The decision in Skrmetti lets politicians create their own evidence to justify banning necessary healthcare. It's bad, writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Not just for trans people, but for anyone whose healthcare is or could potentially be politically contested. Read more here:

I spent a lot of time Mon & Tues trying to get medication for the cats. I was at my wits end & I will admit I had a few tears. Yesterday we made a 4th backup plan in case the meds did not come today. Not only did they come, but the 1st place I ordered from also sent meds. I wasn't expecting that /1

The SCOTUS ruling in U.S. v. Skrmetti confirms what we know: this government is crooked and ignorant. Trans kids deserve care, safety, and bodily autonomy. We must remind them of their history, the sacredness of community, and that no government gave them their power—and no court can take it away.

All my love to fellow gender dropouts, to the trans folks, to the queers, to the gender deviants. They can't legislate you or me out of existence because someone just like us is being born right now. And that will keep happening. And we will do everything we can to build the world they need.

That’s a tough question. Resisting masked armed thugs in any circumstance can get you beaten or killed by the armed thugs. If the masked armed thugs are agents of the U.S. government it will also get you prosecuted for “assault on a federal officer” or “resisting arrest.” /1
