🇵🇸 Gaza Needs Your Support: Help Build a Lifeline for Students and Remote Workers! In Gaza, war has destroyed homes, blocked roads, and left countless people without work. Yet, amidst the rubble, hope remains. Students and remote workers face daily struggles—power outages, broken…

If there's famine, no aid is entering, & most people don't have survival funds, then? Help Palestinians WORK TO LIVE and yes they can do that if there's internet! That's what Spark Space provides, plus classes and more.

It will close if we don't help. 117/770 by Sunday: chuffed.org/project/spar...

people who say this act like if they weren't at the airport they'd be at home curing cancer. what exactly are your big plans for your extra 45 minutes at home you fuckin loser

It's sooo true. Currently sorting through all my mom & dad's stuff, which is in my house (ugh) with my stuff and I have decided to just massively get rid of stuff. So far, so good. lots more to do, but I don't want to cart around this crap for life. Nope.

The mass shooting in Iowa City this weekend brought back up some trauma from the Gang Lu shooting in the 90s ...

Years ago, a stranger sent a transport wheelchair for my mother to help us care for her. Now that she is gone & legal stuff complete, I can donate that chair to the local medical lending closet. It's a really nice, comfortable chair. Glad it will help someone else! Thx again!

A picture of a rather dilapidated copy of "The picture of Dorian Gray" There is visible water damage to the cover and the plastic cover is yellowing. Obviously, not evident from the picture but there is a truly foul musty smell emanating from it!

Last week, a gentleman returned this rather dilapidated copy of this famous book to us after 50 years. He had found it in his attic!
Presumably this means there is a pristine copy somewhere in our libraries....

It is clear that many cis people are not aware just how up to her neck Rowling is in funding and driving anti trans sentiment in the UK.

She's not just a person with a vile opinion.

This person has a huge account on IG and some of you were likely also judged by it … I won’t be naming the person because it does not matter who.

Democrats are going to be dragged into the data center wars whether they like it or not

And because people are COMMITTED to misunderstanding ... I am not judging the mess. I am judging lying about it and playing into ~inspiration~ bullshit knowing full well others were being held to your standard and it was fake the whole time.

thought this posted earlier but wifi was out 🥲

got hit w/ OTC subscriptions autorenewing, wont refund for days AND motel saying they need paid TMRW not Wednesday, n:

$400 to stay housed by 6pm tmrw

You don't have to share your mess or whatever, but don't lie about how healed and perfect your life is, knowing good and well how your ~inspirational~ nonsense will be weaponized against others.

like literal piles of trash that they had to hire someone to dig out from and remove from the home and so all of this year's "healing era" posts were basically bullshit.

Lying online like that ... playing the inspiration game ... is lateral ableism.

I know someone on another platform who spent all last year bragging about how they had overcome all their trauma and cPTSD and were thriving and in their healed era and ppl were literally comparing me to that and saying "Why can't you?" and mmmm this week that person posted the mess in their home

The United State: A Brief History

saaaaame

okay, this happens to me all the time.
Why do some people get so angry/upset when I tell them that refusal IS my ethical way to engage with gAI?
Guilt?

I was so wrecked all day waiting for a phone call and it was a nothing burger that lasted approximately 1 1/2 minutes, if that lol

My genetic mutation puts me at catastrophically high risk for this (and many other cancers) and watching my beloved grandfather die of pancreatic cancer was hell on earth. Fuck anyone who wants to ban this. My god my rage right now …

But you know what? That's a perfect metaphor for how that guy delivered therapy: "You're wearing your crown wrong." Even your joy and pride were pathologies to them … heck they did not even believe I got the grants I did! I was like … wanna see the checks? lol

The therapist only saw it because I put it on briefly to show what I was wearing to a Pride event and that someone had made the crown by hand. They literally told me I was wearing it wrong when the actual artist who made it showed me how.

A halo crown made of tourmaline spikes.

I donated my halo crown today. I loved it, but every time I wore it, I heard my ex therapist telling me I was wearing it “wrong.” (I wasn’t; they just did not understand a halo crown is NOT a tiara.) I don’t like to think of that abusive jerk ever so … crown will bring someone else joy.

Also made me melancholy for other reasons ... god I was so poor then, too. But I still sent it. Then we found out about dad and that money he blew from his brother ... I told that story in an essay, but I see it differently now.

Page 1 of a legal Judgment document from the United States District Court, District of Oregon for Case No. 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on 04/18/26. The plaintiffs are listed as "STATE OF OREGON, et al.," and the defendants are "ROBERT F. KENNEDY, JR., in his official capacity as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, et al." The document is from United States District Judge Kasubhai. It outlines that final judgment is entered in favor of the Plaintiffs on Counts I, II, III, and IV. Item 3 states the Court holds unlawful, sets aside, and vacates the "Declaration of the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services RE: Safety, Effectiveness and Professional Standards of Care for Sex-Rejecting Procedures on Children and Adolescents".

Page 2 of a legal judgment document for Case 6:25-cv-02409-MTK, filed on April 18, 2026. The text outlines a court order declaring that defendants lack the authority to unilaterally establish standards of care that supersede professionally recognized standards for gender-affirming care in the Plaintiff States. It permanently enjoins defendants and their agents, including the HHS-OIG, from enforcing the "Kennedy Declaration" against providers in those states. The document is dated April 18, 2026, and is signed by United States District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai.

Huge news: the court has entered final judgement in Oregon v Kennedy (HHS trans youth care ban) and has vacated the Kennedy declaration and permanently enjoined its enforcement to target gender clinics.

This means that HHS can no longer initiate investigations of gender clinics for trans youth based on the Kennedy declaration or try to terminate federal funding through Medicaid and Medicare.

This is an unequivocal win for the 22 states that brought this suit to protect access.
