What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members. The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said; “trans women are women and trans men are men” with no-one speaking against it. Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

It’s OK to admit that we’re off the map of our experience. The rules & best practices some of us are accustomed to, in certain situations, may no longer apply.

I had to put my dog down this weekend, unexpectedly. It's my first major loss of a loved one, so it's hitting me hard. I had food poisoning, and of course the general horrors of the world bore down on me too. I'm doing better than yesterday but crying a lot today. Thank goodness for therapy later.
