reminder that JK Rowling is not just some woman with anti-trans opinions.

she is an anti-trans activist.

grow up and let this franchise go.

Imagine for one second if we had a female president, and she illegally tore down a wing of the White House, and then showed everyone her design renderings while the nation was fighting a war she started that also sent the economy into a tailspin.

The whole "addiction" narrative is dumb and reductive. Of course some of us spend waaay too much time doing specific things on our phones. It's not great if you spend all day going down YouTube rabbit holes, or even if you spend all day shitposting. But that's not about "phones" as such.

DOJ Takes Aim At Off-Label Prescriptions in Gender-Affirming Care Fight The Trump Administration’s arguments in a recent hearing over a subpoena for trans patients’ medical records could also spell danger for abortion access.

The DOJ sent subpoenas to 20+ providers of gender-affirming care. At least 7 of these have been successfully challenged in federal court.

The DOJ has appealed most of these decisions, but it only asked to expedite one: The sole case where its opponent is a small practice without in-house legal.

The only thing it feels worthwhile for me to say right now is pay attention to whether your feelings & the information you’re absorbing are paralyzing you or prompting you to meaningful action, whatever that is. Paralysis helps no one but the enemy.
