The public comment period for changing passports to misgender trans people is open. Please take a moment to let them know that you do not support that change.

All month it’s been rough motivating myself to work and getting things done on time. I’ve been hard on myself for it until it dawned on me today: duh. Look what else has been going on for a month. No fucking wonder.

The first thing I notice in this photo — of the Nazi raid on Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, Berlin's pioneering sex research center— is the nude photographs. Demonization of "pornography" is critical to justifying censorship. Defending it is critical to combatting the fascist project.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

So, a suuuper crazy thing about me is that I don’t have children and my life is still fulfilling. This should not be a controversial statement in 2025, but I made this post bc it is. Make the decisions that are best for you.

Sorry, but we now have a once-per-six-months PrEP injection with a 96% efficacy in reducing HIV infections, and the response is to limit PrEP to only pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers? What?! It's going to be much more expensive to provide lifelong treatment than work on prevention.

Love that Eagles fans are camping out in tents to get a good parade spot, but hey Cherelle- you gonna come tear these down too?

I have nothing but love for bandwagon fans. The more the merrier! I don't need you to be longsuffering to share in this joy with you, and who doesn't need some extra free joy right now?

Ok I'm at my parents' so my mom is watching the news and I'm seeing this against my will- but is Trump the absolute orangest that he's ever been???? He just said, of Gaza: "We're gonna take it, we're gonna hold it, we're gonna cherish it."

My five year old niece said the word "sugar daddy" today. When pressed on its meaning, she said it's "someone who spends a lot of money and eats a lot of sugar."

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.
