I'm so sad this shot is so out of focus. The flies around her head, the nose picking, the everything was so funny to me. I really thought I had a winner with this one. #photography #Canon 80D 24-70 F2.8
Even though #spring constantly tries to murder me with allergens, I can't help but love the flora and bees all doing their things. #Canon 80D 50mm F1.4 #photography #cherryblossoms
Took my favorite person in the world to Scarlet Springs Farm in Waterford, VA for an early birthday celebration! Met some Highland cows and had tea time with an amazing view.

I actually kinda feel sorry for this guy. He has a kink and probably a lot of repressed feelings, and no one in his life to really communicate that with.
You’re wrapped in plastic? Careful not to suffocate or whatever
When you combine this case with Skrmetti, the Supreme Court has initiated a regime where states can ban medical care to affirm trans youth while states cannot ban efforts to engage in conversion therapy on trans youth. This court is such a joke.
Or sell enough lies to be president.
I feel genuinely flabbergasted by the defiantly anti-journalistic approach of NYT Comms here.
They're saying the NYT's reporting on the stance of the American Medical Association is correct, despite the American Medical Association saying their stance is different from what NYT reported.
Why would he even admit that? Like it’s a badge of honor to be a piece of trash.
Love to have a little escape from reality... watching an episode of #TheTransformers where a billionaire multi-corporation owner is trying to seize political power by making fake videos and spreading lies about the good guys after teaming up with the bad guys.
Ha ha… what an escape. 😓
This image is a graphic from KFF that shows two key statistics among returning ACA Marketplace enrollees: about 3 in 4 enrollees (73%) are concerned about affording emergency care or hospitalizations, and about half are worried about costs for routine medical visits (49%) or prescription drugs (45%). The graphic includes blue and green dots that are colored in to represent these statistics.
Our latest survey shows that Marketplace enrollees are concerned about their ability to pay for both routine and unexpected medical expenses.

A line from the Independent story reading: “The airport footage was obtained through an information disclosure request to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport by activist Nick Benson with MN50501 - a Minnesota-based organization that advocates against Trump's policies.” I’ve highlighted the part where it links to MN50501.

This @the-independent.com story is such an obvious lift of mine that they didn’t even bother deleting my site’s referral URL.
And no, they do not credit me for reporting it first or (intentionally) link to my story.
In j-school, rewording someone else’s reporting was called plagiarism. 1/
The DOJ sent subpoenas to 20+ providers of gender-affirming care. At least 7 of these have been successfully challenged in federal court.
The DOJ has appealed most of these decisions, but it only asked to expedite one: The sole case where its opponent is a small practice without in-house legal.

WV joins over a dozen states banning Medicaid payments for gender surgeries after appeals panel overturns lower court ruling and--citing Skrmetti--finds states have an legitimate interest in forcing their citizens to "appreciate their sex."
What the actual hell?
Almost as if our rights our intertwined
If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.
