When Trayvon wore a Howie and people in the media acted like it was legitimate to treat it like gang apparel, the stage was set for this. Tattoos now equal gang affiliation, if worn by the "wrong person." Because the media/*good intentioned people thought it reasonable.

1. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a national "snitch form" to report gender affirming care providers. The last few times state Republicans did this, they were overloaded with memes and Bee Movie scripts. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Is there a video game that teaches the actual how-to of home repair? Like an interactive version of YouTubes for replacing garbage disposals and door locks? I've seen renovation games but I don't think they deal with this level of process. I learn much better thru interaction than just watching.

This is a really important point regarding self-diagnosis. There is very little benefit (other than personal confirmation) to an adult seeking an official, formal autism diagnosis. But there is very real risk. Self-diagnosis is completely valid

The only way forward is through neurodiversity-affirming, trauma-informed, person-centered methods... and it is particularly critical in the moment and across this time of COVID and MAGA fascism.

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were outside Germany, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

even if this example were true (it’s not) let’s notice that the premise is that it’s de facto bad to update language

@alisahardy.bsky.social, this song still reminds me of The Whitney Hotel (haha) and how we bonded over the music our parents listened to 💜

it's so funny how many times Stevie Nicks re-recorded Silver Springs just to repeatedly get Lindsey Buckingham on camera while she screamed, "You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you." there will never be another band even a little like Fleetwood Mac.

So sorry I posted without including every single viewpoint and angle on the issue, plus offering up my entire history as supporting evidence while also addressing you personally along with your thoughts and needs, despite us not knowing each other. I meant to do all that but I ran out of characters.

My endometriosis is kicking my ass today. But worse than the pain is the sense that by taking it easy I'm falling behind. Falling. It's stupid, but bone-deep

“They say the law is unfair.” adopters are buying children. adopters think they are a magic solution. adopters think their colorblind love is better than a child, they profess loving, being able to grow up with family and culture. I hope the adopters lose

A friend wanted to express her care for me because my dad died, but she thought flowers or a card weren't enough. So she dug 2 varieties of strawberry starts out of her garden for me. I'm so thankful for my little community

deleted the post about the attorney who rec'd a deportation notice because the onslaught of "it wasn't intended for her!" was gonna be too irritating. if you really think "oh, this was sent in error" is a safeguard against being deported and imprisoned by fascists, well, bless your heart.

Y'all please don't follow those Native and Indigenous accounts that steal our family pics and repost them. It's gross and lots of my followers do. At some point we just won't be moots over it.

One last point on criminal records. I once represented a person charged with a felony for obstructing a police officer. Client had slapped cop's hand away when he groped client. The prosecutor didn't dispute those facts, but argued Client should have serviced the cop and reported him later.

Everyone has their own priorities and no one can possibly attend to or care about every fire this regime sets. But ppl being disappeared without due process and sent to a foreign prison should fully panic everyone body and soul and I need more folks with bigger voices to start screaming about it

Cuomo rehabilitation is so depressing because of all the guys who got MeToo'd out of politics he was probably the guiltiest. he actually got an investigation and the investigation not only verified the public allegations but also found that there were more victims than the press knew about!

I was a social security recipient from the age of 12 through 18. That’s not some weird thing or corruption. It’s called survivors’ benefits. You don’t have to know this. You’re blessed if you don’t. But if you’re going to speak publicly abt the program you need to know this.

Black people are getting moderation labels for being intolerant to white people on bluesky even though they’re stating clear truths & white people are not an oppressed class because white supremacy rules the world. And Palestinians begging with their dying breaths are having accounts deleted.

Baby Glitter is emotional this afternoon. Fixed her some hot tea and a plate of cookies and now she's snuggled on the couch listening to music and playing a game. I love her so much, I might die
