#Intro thread

Hi folks! I'm Grayson (right in the picture).

I do & talk about a lot of things — sex & health education, patient advocacy, healthcare access, health equity work, patient-involved research, AI in healthcare, being trans & queer in Ohio, TTRPGs & video games, and so much more.
A selfie of two people by Lake Champlain, a large body of water surrounded by mountains. They are standing on a wooden dock with a clear blue sky and the sunlight is reflecting off the water's surface, creating a shimmering effect. On the left, McGravin (they/he) is wearing sunglasses and a light blue shirt. On the right is Grayson, who is in a black shirt, sunglasses, and a backwards baseball hat. The scene conveys a relaxed outdoor atmosphere, highlighting the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Anyone who voted to pass the NDAA today devoid of the amendments proposed to reign in the deployment of troops to US cities but somehow still full of anti-LGBTQ riders— thus supplying nearly a trillion dollars to an occupying army, will be remembered in history books as having helped end democracy.

I guess a lot of people find this inspiring but...like, it's not like she was engaging with pro palestinian protestors when she was running for president. 1

her advocacy for Palestinians doesn't bother me nearly as much as she is so desperately doing all this as an actual act of transparent virtue signaling, to fill the absence she has in depth of character

Remember how Chicago is full of very nice people, but if you fuck around you’re going to find out?

WGN aired Cubs games from 1948 until 2014

With Harry Caray calling most of them

WGN is as Chicago as the Sears Tower.

Happy world mental health day
A photo of a skeleton (who is on fire) holding a sword. Text on the image says:
state of the world? bad
mental health? also bad

I know I shared this article when it came out.

If you haven't read it - or read it since then - give it another read.
Sowing that distrust is why Williams is going on the record, albeit without his original name. He still plans to release thousands of files after this article is published — evidence tying sheriffs and police officers to the movement, his proudest coup, plus other records he hopes could become ammo for lawsuits. But Williams wants to let his former comrades know “a faggot is doing this to them.” He thinks his story could be his most effective weapon.

#ICE went after rideshare drivers at #O’Hare today, according to statement from #Illinois Drivers Alliance

#Chicago
CHICAGO — Earlier today, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid in an O'Hare Airport parking lot where rideshare drivers wait between trips to pick up travelers. These drivers are essential workers who keep our city accessible, ensuring travelers can get from point A to point B safely every single day. The Illinois Drivers Alliance releases the following statement:
We are deeply concerned that the drivers' due process rights were violated at O'Hare today. This is part of a broader pattern of attacks on immigrant families by an administration that continues to weaponize fear and division instead of investing in solutions that strengthen our communities. The Illinois Drivers Alliance rejects unconstitutional raids, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with all hard working immigrant drivers, families, and essential workers targeted by these unjust actions. Chicago is strongest when every worker - regardless of race, religion, or immigration status - is safe, respected, and living free from fear.
We are working diligently to gather more information and ensure that every person's constitutional rights were respected and protected throughout this disturbing incident.

Having to hear from Amy Klobuchar the day after she voted for an act that punishes trans people for existing is…woof.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Federal contractors—including custodial & food service workers—deserve pay for their hard work.

But unlike federal employees, contractors have no assurance they'll receive backpay when Republicans reopen the government.

Our bill would ensure these workers are not left behind.

If you’re in Chicago —

One way to help is support these small Latino businesses.

Many communities are experiencing massive slowdowns because people are scared to leave their houses, and so people aren’t shopping, eating out, going to the carnecerias and panaderias.

Support our small businesses.

“Time to do conversion therapy about it.”

(Yes, conversion therapy, which is considered torture for neurotypical queer kids, has its roots in ABA, and you’re just all sort of fine with that.)
