My biological sex is female. It has changed Phenotype is orders of magnitude more important than genotype for everything from discrimination to healthcare to sexuality Chromosomes are meaningless and any law treating them as all sex is is wrong

It drives me crazy. To dare to talk about protecting the Earth when all you're doing is a PR stunt that pollutes the equivalent of a decade of a Westerner's life who already pollute a lot. I love space exploration, but space tourism for selfish rich people is a cancer.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

In the 2015 year report the USDA-APHIS website records show a cattle death loss in the state of Idaho of over 41,000, 29,000 of which died of what amounts to neglect, lack of food, water, shelter or fresh air. Wolves killes ~300 But ranchers blame their failed business model on the wolves.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Oil and gas industry wants to be able to dump highly toxic fracking wastewater—full of benzene and heavy metals, often radioactive—with more abandon, including in rivers and streams, and White House is open to that. insideclimatenews.org/news/2003202...

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

I’ve really been struggling to take care of myself. I just want to acknowledge that because we’re made to feel ashamed but it’s a difficult time. If you’re struggling, I want you to know I’m right there with you. We’re gonna figure it out. It’s just gonna be rough for a while.
