It really scares me sometimes bc I can't predict it. I'll be fine for a while then suddenly I'm collapsing from the smallest stimuli and negotiating with my body to not let me go unconscious because idk if I'll wake up again.

One of my senators shielded the confirmation ballot box with his body during J6. If there's campaigns asking you to call on your senators to vote _ on a bill against fascism, it might've been a bill mine introduced or sponsored. You can usually find them in hearings, ripping into the administration.
Dr Hilary Cass has criticised the medicines regulator for blocking a clinical trial into puberty suppressors for children, saying it had made "completely bizarre" claims, hadn't produced any new evidence and seemed to be responding to "political pressure", not science. The Pathways trial was paused after the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) published a letter to the research team on Friday, raising fresh concerns about potential long-term harms to children. I The MHRA had previously approved the study, which aims to examine the impact of puberty suppressing hormones on about 220 children aged from 11 to 15 who clinicians believed might benefit from the drugs. But in its letter, which came after threats of legal action from parents and criticism of the trial from gender-critical campaigners such as JK Rowling, the regulator said children should only be allowed to take part after the age of 14. Cass told The Observer she was "disappointed" by the MHRA's intervention. "There are no new research findings and the MHRA hasn't presented any new evidence," she said. "It feels to me like they are responding to political pressure rather than to science." The trial was launched after Cass's 2024 review of gender services, which said research was needed since there was little evidence whether or not puberty-suppressing hormones helped children with gender dysphoria. After the paediatrician's report, the NHS stopped use of the drugs at gender identity clinics, although they continue to be used for children whose puberty begins abnormally early. Cass said the trial was necessary because "we genuinely don't know if some children will benefit or have no benefit". By raising the age limit to 14, it would cut out children who might benefit, which "will make the results invalid", Cass said. "It would make the design really, really flawed and you should not be subjecting children to a flawed study."
So Hilary Cass is now saying the medical regulators blocking the puberty blockers trials is “political not scientific”.
Waiting for a full flurry of media attention to breathlessly cover her every word and push the government to intervene and reverse course?
Let me know when you find out. 😭 I've had really chronic neck pain lately and my partner asked me what's up. I just angrily pointed across the room at my desk chair and said "I don't know but THAT THING is responsible!" as if it could hear me.
Are we referring to the guy who, on video, acquiesced to Ben Shapiro of his own free will?
That's s-tier idea you should do it! Idk where my very recent yet URGENT need for a lava lamp came from but I fw it heavy. Think I'm on a "replace all the smart tech with dumb tech" binge. I just feel like it's what my brain craves rn lol
oh that ozone magic surfactant stuff? yeah that would look so good on a mathmos lamp! 😍 i hear that brand has less globbiness in general but they're the 70s og so they are priiiceey
I apologize. Haven't been interacting w posts from creators I follow bc I've had to pick between food vs toiletries lately and I feel guilty consuming content I can't patronize. I see lots of valid frustration from creators ab unpaid consumption. You all put in the work and deserve thriving business

I do get a lil giggle how the big, bold, red highlighted all caps is basically just direct messaging to their favorite viewer atp. Might as well just put ", Donald." at the end of it.
Don’t let Democrats co-opt our power.
CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….
Overhead light illuminates a glass cube aquarium. Leafy greenery nestles between volcanic rock, surrounding a central bonsai tree of knotted wood and moss. The rocky outcrops rise to a sharp incline behind the tree, leaving the impression of a layered landscape. No fish are visible.
💯 It pmo to see animals mistreated. Upside is I see a lot more people interested in learning as aquascaping gains popularity on socials. Not everyone needs an ADA but even on a (relatively) low budget you can create a beautiful habitat to house happy, beautiful fish! <3
"But here's the thing: Portland voted for this change. Our communities built this council. And we're not letting backroom racism tear down what we fought so hard to create,” said Political, Policy, Advocacy and Civic Engagement Director Kaliko Castille.

Between being a tgirl and my wife being an immigrant, going outside is... my head hurts from how much it's on a swivel lol but I'd rather this than still be stuck in dude cosplay 😂😭
I keep getting this recommended to me after reading Piranesi. I'll have to pick it up if it captures that same eerie fantasy! That's exactly what I've been craving
diva, eight months isn't just seasonal depression that's semestrially bipolar
Is orange chicken basically have as much sugar as a candied desert? Maybe. Am I still eating ice cream afterwards? no comment 🙈
The silver lining of living where it rains every damn day. Tell the snow to fuck off to Portland I could use some!
istfg I hate "Portland nice"... a convenient way for white ppl, privileged hegemonies to be blatantly racist and bigoted w/ plausible deniability. Ask around or scroll pdx tt and hear so many BIPOC voices say the aggressive racism in the south is still preferable to the quieter kind so common here.
I've enjoyed quite a bit of her content! Seeing representation in content creators gives me a bit of hope I could try it too someday. Too often I write myself off lol
someday this page will be shamelessly filled w/ my naked selfies... but that's like 100 more xanax into my future
Starting to notice it's that exact spot that gives you gorgeous lighting every time! 😄 Whenever I find spots like that it's 100% chance I drop everything to sun worship like I'm a lizard.
It can be so exhausting. I saw an asd creator on yt (the thought spot) talk ab how intensive interactions can feel for many of us bc all interaction feels intimate. I personally feel that way. I invest lots of care and intention. Lately RO-DBT therapy has been helping me lower social energy invested
Don't cede your ground to them. This is our domain; Transhumanism is built upon the backs of trans people and it shall forever be a beacon of perseverance and empowerment. Read everything Ann Leckie puts out
Oh hey me too! :) I just sort of sat down the other day and decided I wanted something that would make me feel grounded.
You're the only one I set notifications for, so I love when I open the app and it's just one or two! 💜 Bc it means it's you sharing ab a game or a book, family or gumbo. As opposed to 10+ which means some new terrible shit probably just dropped. 😅😭
how...? diva you have too many sapphics in your district to be so casually snatched. 💅✨
please do continue.
anyone else ever wonder if Akhenaten was an egg? no? just me?
