Thanks for reading! I'll be using my BlueSky account primarily to support my professional writing at Wonkette and Pervert Justice. If you want to read an eclectic mix of socially important stories, longer analysis, and occasional humor, come visit or even support me at PervertJustice.
Honestly: please comment.

I know it's easy to believe that this will do nothing to change the Trump Admin's mind, but they are VERY BAD at following the APA and having a record of thoughtful comments opposing these policies makes it more likely a judge can kill them.
Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17

One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage

Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states

The patriarchs and their apologists always seem to forget that the murder rate OF MEN BY WOMEN plummeted after the introduction of no-fault divorce and anti-violence shelters.

Dudes, it doesn't matter if she's deluded by feminism. If she thinks the only way out is death, she might consider yours.
Maria Steen, she of the Holy Handbag, argues in the Times that we should introduce a form of marriage with "no possibility of divorce." Maybe she is too young to remember that we already tried this. It ended very badly for some - that's why we introduced divorce.

I'm constantly asked what I want Dems to do instead.

How's this?

"I believe Republicans will have no choice but to abolish ICE because we will use every parliamentary trick that exists to make each simple vote a procedural nightmare. We will deny them rest. We will prevent vacations. We will win."
Schumer on DHS reforms: "I believe Republicans will have no choice but to go along with us because it's so common sense"

SCarolina vs LSU is an absolute banger of a matchup and so far it's a banger of a game. Score is close 5 min in. Some missed layups, but mostly this is quality play.

But there's also something funny. This is Gamecocks v. Tigers, but bc of a media deal, the LSU court has 'COX' on it in huge letters.

It's me. I'm the anti-ICE accounts.

Yes, all of them.
New story up on the Homeland Security Department’s new tactic: flood social media companies with subpoenas to unmask anonymous accounts that criticize ICE or monitor the movements of ICE agents.

There's actually an ongoing subplot in The Pitt about a new supervisor pushing the use of (an unbranded) AI chatbot to "improve" medical charting.

Predictably it's already been introducing errors and you just know that before the season is over it's going to cause harm to a patient.
I love how they can't even write their own statements

(not to mention we have a doctor who's apparently feeding the slop machine with patient data)

Marquette within single digits vs UConn, which hasn't happened as late as the 3rd quarter since Michigan lost to UConn by 3 a couple months back.

UConn has 21 wins in a row by 25 or more points. I still think UConn will win the game, but by 25? That record-setting streak is in jeopardy.

A 20-post thread about Valentine's Day and what it means to me.
Bear with me.

1/x: I was in an abusive relationship in my late teens/early 20s. And I mean horribly abusive. The violence was so bad that I still have a neck injury today from more than 35 years ago. Weekly rapes. Constant insults.

That relationship changed who I am and defined me for a decade.

Proud of @wyden.senate.gov on this, but still can't support his reelection (not this year) bc he supports @schumer.senate.gov 's leadership, and that leadership supports allowing Trump to harm the ppl of the US in the hopes it will make the GOP unpopular at the ballot box.

In 1854, after watching the federal government deploy 2000 federal troops and spend $40,000 sending Anthony Burns back into slavery, Boston's Amos Adams Lawrence said “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.”

Turns out that many of us can walk and piss on Meta at the same time.
“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs.
