Trump's HHS Report Co-Author Is Headlining a Trans Youth Care Panel At Preeminent Pediatric Academic Conference The PAS Meeting’s premier event dedicated to gender-related care will be led by academics tied to SEGM and Genspect, groups known for anti-scientific, anti-trans practices.

1. Major alert: Trump's anti-trans co-author Moti Gorin will be presenting with Kaltiala and Montante. These are conversion therapy advocates with intense anti-trans ties to hate groups around the world.

Now they'll be teaching pediatricians THIS FRIDAY.

Texas can require public schools to display Ten Commandments in classrooms, US appeals court rules A federal appeals court rules that Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, allowing posters of the religious doctrine to go up throughout the state

So public schools can’t have a book assigned in class about LGBTQ people but apparently can be required to teach Christianity.

The horror when you talk about misogyny in the field and have to mention the more prolific names in US palaeo were Epstein affiliates (one even in the inner circle liaising with Putin). That, much like harassment, it was an open secret, most women knew, men in position of power remained silent.

I wish more publications would get behind No Games For Genocide; or at least mention in a passing note in articles about the company's gaming business that Microsoft is providing software and logistical support for an ongoing genocide.

Aaw, there we go! I'll come cuddle you for warmth 💜

What if i even... Give it to you as a snacky

New university free speech complaints system to come into force this year Universities could face fines of £500,000 or 2% of their income if they are found to have failed to protect free speech.

This reporting suggests Bridget Phillipson's legislation will muzzle those of us who want to protest against Far Right speakers who say our Black family are intellectually inferior and our Trans family are all potential sex offenders and are mentally ill.

What an unbelievably terrible Government.

comm, thanks!

What if i dangle a tasty mousey in front of your face for you 🥺

Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

Did you know, the Atlas moth, the largest insect living in Hong Kong, in Cantonese (蛇頭蛾) translates as "snakehead butterfly", given its characteristic cobra-like eyespot & batesian mimicry. It looks very dissapointed.

I checked this too.

This is not normal. At all.

I learned recently that it’s an insult in Germany to call someone “hobbyless” or to engage in “hobbyless behavior” and it’s become my favorite way to think of assholes who have nothing better to do than to make other people miserable. Get a hobby. Build a model train and calm down.

Pls smile

Fellow San Jose/South Bay residents, ai data centers are coming for us, but we still have a chance to stop them!

Ilovesanjose.org has a petition and a prewritten email to send to the city council. Let’s stop them before they build anything.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

"Modern Dragons" launches tomorrow 🐉

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?
