HEATED reports on climate with original journalism and essential interviews, like this one. It's definitely worth your while to find out what's going on when it comes to how the corporate media is stifling climate reporting:
So could you imagine someone saying to a nonbinary kid "you have to choose a puberty right now"?
And you are also invalidating nonbinary AS a destination. Just like bi-erasure, the focus in on the "binary" and not the fluidity or the full spectrum of possible identities.
Your "obvious" alternative doesn't apply many times. There are many transitioning youth that need a stopgap time frame to work things out.
My daughter needed a year to figure out that she wasn't nonbinary. She herself told me she wasn't ready or even interested in HRT therapy.
I get that you didn't mean to, but what you wrote was easily misunderstood.
Okay, well as a parent of a child that needed a year to figure things out, that's not how you came off. Please be careful broad brushing.
Bonnie,
What are you talking about? As a father of a trans child, I am SO grateful there were puberty blockers available so they didn't go through the wrong puberty.
This is a two-panel political cartoon by Mike Luckovich. Left Panel: The heading of "IN UK" is above a British police officer who is escorting a downcast man in a suit who has his hands cuffed behind his back. The man has the words "PRINCE ANDREW" written across his chest. Below that is the caption of "JUSTICE" Right Panel: The heading of "IN U.S." is above a large, intimidating officer wearing a black face mask and a green tactical vest labeled "ICE" (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), who is marching away a small, young child. The child's hands are cuffed behind her back, and she is hunched over, looking at the ground. Below that is the caption of "JUST ICE"
It's hard to have justice when all you have is just ICE.
Sometimes it be like that.

Thank you, Bruce. 🕯️
Look, you can name your kid whatever you like. I'm just saying that the first name of "Legend" is a lot to live up to.
Here is the literal transcription of the image content: --- pizzacakecomic posted: 2016: "You're overreacting!" 2017: "You're overreacting!" 2018: "You're overreacting!" 2019: "You're overreacting!" 2020: "You're overreacting!" 2021: "You're overreacting!" 2024: "You're overreacting!" 2025: "You're overreacting!" 2026: "Well there was no way of knowing it would get this bad..." tudors_reimagined responded: Amazingly all of us who did predict this used our magical powers of reading history books and using basic human pattern recognition 😒 pizzacakecomic replied: Also they really gave it away when they threw out those nazi salutes..
No one could have foreseen this exact thing we've been telling you all this time, eh?
A sliced section of perfectly white onion, cut to resemble the shape of a rainbow, captioned "Kristi Noem's Pride Rainbow"
Look, it's the complete spectrum of colors she finds acceptable. #KristiNoem #ICEOut
Yeah, but anytime I hit 40 below, I like to make note. It's where the two scales meet.
For Friday here in Madison, the windchill will be -40. That's °F or °C.
William Vermie was grabbed by ICE for witnessing them in action in Minnesota. He's a purple heart-awarded veteran who served in Iraq. He, a US citizen, was denied an attorney over and over.
This isn't any form of law enforcement. This is a dictator's army, doing whatever they want to anyone.
So the wave of complying in advance ha struck Madison. UW Health, the self-proclaimed "#1 hospital in Wisconsin", has decided it is better to deny life-saving medicine to its patients than to stand up to demands that they violate the most basic tenets of being physicians. #genderaffirmingcare

This is a screen scapture of a post by Broadwaybabyto, made 7:00pm EST on 1/5/2026. It says: Jake Tapper asked Stephen Miller if he’s ruled out taking Greenland by military force. The reply? “Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO.” This is a terrifying escalation. They’ve already shown willingness to violate international law and commit murder, kidnapping and war crimes. They’re not going to stop. They think they can have any country they want. They think they’re above the law. May Stephen Miller remember that “just following orders” didn’t work during WWII and it won’t work now. He belongs behind bars.

A carol for the #billionocracy we live in:
YES. These things are polluting our communities, taking valuable potable water from circulation, driving up energy costs and providing shockingly few long term jobs.
@talesofmoderation.bsky.social has it ever occurred to you that lazily putting someone on this list when they don't actually spread misinformation is a form of misinformation? Especially if they are devoted to the dead opposite of that?
@talesofmoderation.bsky.social I really do have to protest being put on your moderation list. I mean, it's your list so do what you would like I guess. But what the hell?
