1. This weekend, a federal judge permanently blocked funding threats to providers and hospitals that provide trans youth care.
The judge also blocked "any similar policy."
Hospitals have NO excuse and must return to providing care under many blue state laws.

I just retired.
And now i can work on all the projects I've wanted to for so long. Like recreating the synth parts of Funeral for a friend.
And I want to do all the projects right now!!
Patience Amy. Need to get finished with this semester first.
All the projects.
Ideal relationship dynamic
I thought this article was great but one thing I would just add, personally, is that I enjoy the sensation of control. Spotify can remove/censor an album tomorrow but unless my apartment burns down I've got the vinyl/CD/tape right here, and it's the same as when I bought it.
This is beyond Why Would Leopards Eat My Face and into What Do You Mean I Have To Get On the Train Too?
We come to this hospice to laugh, to cry, to care.
the last thing you see before you die
chelsea manning looking fly as hell in a nice suit being perp walked by a dipshit party city looking nypd cop named "anger"
yesterday in NYC, jewish voice for peace organized a protest against arms sale to israel. 90 people got detained after a traffic sit in held right in front of chuck schumer's office.
as usual, chelsea manning has the coolest perp walk photos. cop's name is "anger" lmfao.
Swalwell that ends well
"I don't get my feelings hurt easy"
It takes something really important, like tying for fifth in a swimming race.
This is one of the most efficient pieces of comedy writing I've ever read. Not a sentence is wasted. *chef's kiss*
I picked out my wedding ring today!
Man idk how to express how demoralizing it is to see people doing joke support for the Pope as the Catholic Church implements the most draconian trans healthcare ban anywhere in the US. It's a FULL ADULT TRANS HEALTHCARE BAN!!!THEY KEEP BUYING MORE HOSPITALS!!!!!!!
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
Hundreds of protestors from a coalition of organizations were arrested while staging a sit in outside of Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrandβs office during an anti war demonstration demanding an end to U.S. weapons shipments to Israel.
Chicago does have a FNB. There's also a ton of neighborhood MA groups, food pantries, etc.

If it doesn't exist, then do something small, like getting to know your neighbors. Maybe plan a potluck for you and your neighbors to talk about helping each other with issues affecting y'all. No matter how small it is
I usually search for groups that do food rescues, free stores, urban farms,trash pick-up, provide assistance or write to incarcerated people, ICE watch, etc. Whatever I want to help with
I think there's room for both. For me, the awe and wonder of what's out there and the feats of human ingenuity we can accomplish when working together drive me forward. Space exploration inspires me to want to aim higher and see what we can accomplish on Earth
Some days, that's volunteering with a mutual aid group. Some days, that means walking around picking up trash and watching for ICE. And some days that means resting, disconnecting, and taking the time I need to heal. That's what I feel is most important to me right now.
Thanks for all the kind words! I don't know what the future has in store for me (or my career), but I do know where my focus is right now. I am putting my energy into helping my family, my neighbors, my trans siblings, and the land and water we rely on.
I appreciate it! Same to you!
Uh oh, that post did numbers. Hi, new folks!
Fascists can GTFO. You're not welcome in this bar.

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me
"LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts ....
This one is worth it.
First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.
#ArtemisII
Yeah, that was part of it. Florida passed laws that banned Trans people from public bathrooms (like airports, libraries, beaches, etc) and a healthcare ban for trans youth that also impacted access to healthcare for trans adults.

I understand. Tallahassee is separate from the bigots running the state government. I have been to Tally many times, both to talk to legislators during session and also for fun. I grew up in the panhandle and stopped there sometimes when visiting my parents. Fun place to explore
Congrats on the successful mission, Amy! And you're right. I just wish it didn't hurt
