Pancreatic cancer is not only deadly, it's miserably painful. Let's keep this study—and the many others we haven't heard about—funded.

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I feel like every time I click on the Nightmare Magazine site, I read something fresh and interesting. That's why I have Wendy on my awards ballots.

I guess we won't care so much about the price of eggs when we're too afraid of food poisoning to eat them. Or we could call our reps? Put financial pressure on? Stuff like that.

Things to think about now that RFK is confirmed and cuts to Medicare/Medicaid are on the table: 1) Get whatever vaccines you can, now. Updated TDap. Covid shot. HPV. etc. 2) Start hoarding meds and medical tools if you can. If you have a good doc, ask them about prescribing extras. 🧵 1/3

NEW: My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS. That means Musk's henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America. And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.

Call your reps. This affects over 70 percent of heterosexual women, many trans persons, abuse survivors...there are so many reasons a name doesn't match a birth certificate. I talked to my House rep's staff this morning, and this bill is apparently still viable. Please call your reps.
