Screenshot of a highlighted passage from a US federal court ruling. The highlighted section reads: "It is not irrational for a legislature to forgo Medicaid coverage of arguably ineffective and dangerous procedures and allocate its limited resources to covering other treatments. What's more, States may legitimately recognize and 'celebrat[e]' the 'inherent differences between men and women.' Virginia, 518 U.S. at 533 (internal quotation marks omitted). And it is not irrational for a legislature to encourage citizens 'to appreciate their sex' and not 'become disdainful of their sex' by refusing to fund experimental procedures that may have the opposite effect. Skrmetti, 605 U.S. at 516–17." The unhighlighted text below reads: "The Supreme Court's decision in Skrmetti forecloses any argument to the contrary. By holding that SB1 passed rational basis review, the Supreme Court made clear that prohibitions on sex-change treatments are not inherently irrational. And West Virginia provided legitimate reasons that rationally related to its policy. Therefore, we find West Virginia's Exclusion easily passes rational basis review."

A federal appeals court ruled last week that blocking trans adults from healthcare is constitutional because states have a legitimate interest in "encouraging citizens to appreciate their sex."

I'm exhausted and furious and you should know this is happening.

Wanted to give an update on this. We're at 70% so THANK YOU ALL FOR SHARING AND DONATING. Some of y'all blew me away. Mom's first round of chemo was last Wed and it went better than I expect. 2nd day was the worst for nausea but other than that and expected fatigue it went well.

Out of Pocket Medical Care for Mom Goal of $8000 In the middle of Dec, mom was hospitalized for an intestinal infection. During that treatment doctors noticed a growth, so they tested to make sure. At New Year's Eve, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. She is starting her treatment this week and while she has health insurance, due to it being the beginning of the year, she has to pay a minimum out of pocket amount before it kicks in. This target amount is for both the out of pocket expenses as well as other expenses. Thank you for reading.

So, I've been trying to keep it together, but on New Year's my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Her treatment starts this week. She tells me she has insurance but since the year rolled over she has to pay a max out of pocket. Anything would help, please share if you can.

Currently on the phone with Visa

Instead of starting with a complaint, I approached this as a Confused American Consumer who doesn't understand why they can't buy things off a website they use

The call center rep immediately asked if it was about Steam/itch

Digital graphic with the text "anti-censorship campaign" and screenshots of headlines about how multiple storefronts have removed NSFW content due to pressure from payment processors and Collective Shout.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

I prewrote an email + got the contact info - you just have to send!

We CAN make a difference 💕

If you want to actually solve the problem, instead of punishing itch, start calling payment cos

Collective Shout, which is run by people who get published by Spinifex, a very terf-seeming organization, apparently needed 1,000 people to yell at visa to get this done.

We got more than 1000 people.

If you have a fund with MC or Visa in it, I suggest calling and demanding to know what your compensation will be for the reduction in Earnings Per Share caused by cutting off income streams (:

NSFW gay furry art by Braeburned. A hung, beefy synth robot has had his stats tweaked by a curious scientist in the lab after hours, and has become the big guys benchmark to test his new overclocked stamina and fluid outputs. (they're having gay anal sex, also there's a broken condom)

This big boy was only in the lab for re-calibrations, but after all the other IT assistants went home, one stayed behind to do some secret stress testing.
