Sometimes people object to a concept as ‘made up’ and I have bad news about where concepts come from.

It's also much easier to get something punished in JAMA or NEJM if it supports traditional chemotherapy instead of healing crystals. That's kind of the point of science.

Nailed it.

👀 Twelve hours left!

The world's richest man is broadcasting eliminationist rhetoric about a tiny, vulnerable minority, and virtually no one is going to treat it as a scandal. It's just normal now.

The drunk uncle theory.

You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Not to mention General Motors buying up streetcar lines back in the day…

A yellow bird singing the words "despair is a tool of your enemies" -audre lorde

Good night, everyone. It feels like our so-called "leaders" have all but abandoned us, but we still have each other. I didn't know what else to do, so I made a little painting. Stay safe out there 💛

…after _actually_ redacting the victims’ info so as to not accidentally provide further fodder for doxxing, harassment, and other abuse, please.

Today I was in a room full of Jews and Muslims when I found out that a gunman had shot up a Jewish event. We all shared the pain together. A Palestinian man from Gaza who happened to have moved here 2 weeks before October 7 expressed his pain at our tragedy. Many of his family members are dead, and many others are in tents now. And still, he stood with us. These moments will be used to divide us. Thats the whole reason they are committed. To tear us all into different factions so one can win and one can lose. Buying into that worldview hands the shooters and bigots a win by creating the world they want. The only actual way to defeat them is to stand firm in building a world of dignity for all. This is what the Palestinian in the room did for us. It is what the Muslim man who risked his life to save Jews did. This is the way to win. This is how we beat those who want a world of division and violence. @eladnehorai

Once more, with scare quotes

Any such exclusion will be used to deny trans people _all kinds_ of healthcare.

Surprised to hear that? Look up “trans broken arm syndrome.”

Light up your reps’ phone lines.

You really do hear about all the best parties

Lawyers gonna lawyer 😞

Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.

True that 😔

(I’m not a lawyer, just a person who wants you to be okay)

1. Please hang in there! ❤️‍🩹
2. Looks like you’re in New York…? If so, consider applying for an enhanced driver license. They’re issued by New York State, not the federal gov’t. If I understand correctly, EDLs allow border crossings by land or sea — not air — to/from Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Unsurprising, but:

Normalize asking what things mean

Just in case you thought this was about trans athletes. This was solely about creating a fascist and racist gender bureaucracy over what constitutes being feminine enough to be considered a woman.

They're targeting cis women who may be intersex and banning them from sport.

Like… people want affordable groceries, housing, and healthcare, *And* they want their friends and loved ones the be alive and safe and free from persecution.

These are not mutually exclusive ideas. They are in fact bound up together.

This is totally normal and fine.

Stand for something. Don’t abandon your constituents and their friends and families. Simple.

“I’ll take ‘things I verified are true that I wish weren’t true’ for three hundred.”

Always. 🪩🐌🎧
