Moreover, trans people — a <1% minority — are under attack and need your assistance right now. That means tips to creators, fighting alongside us, pro bono representation, & general everyday acts of kindness. You can't just be a good person by virtue signaling. Goodwill takes practice and action.

Fetterman out with a STRONG statement on his trans sports vote.

Best dedication I’ve ever seen :) thank you, TJ Klune (who is probably on Bluesky but not under the most obvious handle).

It’s hard to stay focused when everything is falling apart. My book feels like it’s terrible and editing is pointless, but I’m pretty sure that feeling is just the times.

All that fearmongering during the campaign about how Mexicans were coming after your jobs, and it turned out that the president was coming after your job.

I expected we'd reach 50K followers this week, but I didn't expect it to happen before 10am on Monday. Hello, new folks, and welcome! Assigned Media is your independent source of transgender news.

The political is personal.

Rewatching the old school charmed and… does everyone just feel a visceral connection to the music that was popular when they were in high school? Every musical guest feels like coming home.

I’m a transgender American 🇺🇸 and I will fight with all I’ve got against this fascist trash 🚮🖕@realDonaldTrump will not define who I am. Ever.

It’s watching me…

Little Blondie is 8 weeks old, has had her first shots, and wants a home with someone who will be patient with her.

1. Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington have filed suit to stop Trump's under-19 trans ban executive order. They allege it violates separation of powers and the 5th and 10th amendments. The latest analysis of the legal filing from writer Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I'm proud to announce that Erin In The Morning has been nominated for the GLAAD Media Award in Independent Journalism! This is a recognition of the hard work my team and I put in every day to get you the news that matters. Thank you so much for your unending support. We will keep each other safe.

I was just outside the Treasury Department where Elon Musk has launched a full scale authoritarian takeover. My message to Musk is simple: get your hands off our money and get the hell out.

It snowed! Enough to stick, even. Enough for me to cancel my appointments tomorrow because I’m pretty sure driving down the curvy narrow road to the freeway with California drivers would be a very bad idea

i don’t even know if crime is the right word for the illegal destruction of USAID. it is an autocratic power grab and a direct attack on the sovereignty of the american people

Just got a call from a doctor about lab results. She made a point of telling me that part of why she was calling was that she wanted to let me know that she supports me. Some people are pretty great :)

Years ago, ACT UP protested at hospitals cutting off LGBTQ+ people from their care. They didn't stand for it.

This is what actual governance looks like.

Here is something you can do right now

Reminder that long COVID patients should not donate blood, and that long COVID literally means any lingering symptoms, no matter how insignificant you feel they are. Everybody else, yes, please, donate.

In the strange backward world we live in, yesterday I found that the cheapest (by far!) place to get eggs is the organic, free range, locally sourced eggs at the co-op.

If you are a person who loves being fit and healthy and toned, I can tell you that it would probably be better for you to eat a whole large pizza every single day of your life than to get long covid.

A hole in the canopy left by the recent fall of an ancient redwood.

A giant fell recently. I’d guess 15+ (maybe very plus) feet tall at the base. I’ve never seen anything close to this big in a recent fall…

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

I have tired.

is it uncharitable to say, i hope the new york times leadership gets not one moment of peace after this

I've got your back

Three birds just hit my windows in rapid succession. Is it the beginning of the apocalypse?

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

Im awake so far past my bedtime right now, and I just realized that it’s because I’m afraid to go to sleep. Like everything is going to fall apart while I do so. Stay strong, please; keep everyone safe.

I am so very very tired. Turns out a medical appointment every day this week is a bit much for me.

Freelancers, before I forget: 15 January is the last day that you can sign up for health insurance at healthcare.gov. It's affordable and you really don't want to have an emergency crop up without coverage!

Reposting this in case someone willing to help catches it this time! :)

I loved loved this book (and the rest of the series), so my recommendation is to pick it up now!

Hey friends! Anyone happen to be or know a lawyer (public defender would be perfect) willing to let me quiz them on the finer points of what you can and can’t access for a case? My story needs you!!!

Welcome to all the meta refugees. We’re happy to have you!
