Make a call right now. Leave a message. Doctors and patients should make healthcare decisions together. Not congress.
Tomorrow, the House of Representatives will vote on a bill that bans gender-affirming medical care for any transgender person under 18, and threatens any medical professional providing this care to youth with 10 years in prison.

Tell Congress to protect trans youth and vote NO.
Protect Trans Care Now
As wave after wave of extreme measures to criminalize and strip trans people of rights and safety continue, tell Congress to act.

Every single chart covering the last century shows that all progress stops when he gets into office. His legacy is death, misery, and ruin. Find a better role model and fuck off.
The presidency once served as a reminder of our common humanity. Ronald Reagan described its purpose as building "a nation composed of good and decent people."

Remember that in the winter of 2020-2021, we *made a whole strain of influenza extinct* by staying home more and wearing masks when we went out.
A lot of people are sick right now.

Flu and Covid are raging, but the good news is a well fitted respirator can prevent both!

A good mask like an N95 is very effective at stopping flu and Covid.

My article looks at how to choose one, how to fit test, where to buy & more.

Mask up & save lives!
We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask
Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

A cool thing I learned at the cephalopod conference is that squid embryos actually look out of their capsules while they're developing and learn what prey will be available to hunt after they hatch. 🧪🐡🦑

One other fun thing about our Monday night game: our Aasimar twins thought Celestial was going to be their secret, special language.

Then two of us replied to their inside convo in Celelstial.

Our final remaining speaker just picked it up as well.

This is incredible news. Today, Virginia officials will unveil a statue of Barbara Johns at the Capitol to replace one of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that had stood for more than a century. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Statue of Black teen who fought segregation replaces Robert E. Lee at U.S. Capitol
Barbara Rose Johns was only 16 when she led a walkout in 1951 to protest horrendous conditions at her segregated high school for Black students in rural Farmville, Virginia.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

From a character perspective, Eshak is absolutely delighted by (and maybe a little defined by) their familiar, Agnes.

Donald Trump has instructed the entire FBI to prioritize finding ways to bring charges against anti-fascists and other activists. Any FBI agent who wants to advance his career now has an incentive to set up naïve kids for an entrapment case.

Please read about entrapment and how to protect yourself.

We've hit second level in our Monday night Drakkenheim campaign, and Eshak (my Wizard) went Conjuration of all things.

It's a good choice given our Cleric has both spookiness and divination on lock, and Order of Scribes' main benefits just don't have the right vibe.

Looks like this has panned out to be a "talking shit" and "it's all about the money" by Montaigne on repeat sort of Monday.

Not because of any particular drama or distress. They're just bangers.

If you've wondered why indie devs have been asking for reviews if you enjoyed their game with more intensity than before, it's because the Steam reviews system is... well, like THIS.
Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam

This is where we're at now.

So many people don't really get that these people are male supremacists who view love itself as degenerate. What they advocate for isn't a relation of mutual respect and dignity- it is to own those they consider their lessers as literal property, to be used and disposed of as they see fit.
I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.

They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.
"Everything straight is actually gay" is my favourite kind of ragebait posts by these morons.

When they say it's gay to be enamored by women, what they mean isn't that it's homosexual, it's that it's degenerate. You've put yourself on the same level as a woman, which they believe is a corruption and degradation of the role and position of man in society, making you a traitor to mankind.
