You can't logic your way out of being burnt out. Unless you're me. Who should be able to do it and it's a personal failing that I can't

“Use of gender-affirming hormone therapy was associated w/ lower odds of recent depression and seriously considering suicide compared to those who wanted GAHT but did not receive it.”

They’re trying to kill us. People need to understand that. It’s evident & denying it is being in denial. that’s it!

Association of Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy With Depression, Thoughts of Suicide, and Attempted Suicide Among Transgender and Nonbinary Youth

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

BUT HEY!

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love,
Ms Rachel

Cover of the classic children's book Frog And Toad Are Friends.

Drawing of Toad, a brown toad, sitting on a bench, dressed in a green jacket and slacks. He is reading a book to his friend Frog, a green frog dressed in a brown jacket and slacks. They are surrounded by green plants and mushrooms. There is a silver Caldecott Medal in the corner.

Text has been altered from original. It reads

Daily bunny no.3089 is standing guard

A bunny sits regally outside the steps of a stone building, possibly a courthouse or library, imitating the pose of a stone lion statue next to them. Another lion statue is visible in the corner of the drawing. They are both seated with their paws in front of them, but the lion statue looks noticeably more regal than the bunny

I hurt my back so I decided to download Skyrim on my Switch while I heal! Meet Saoirse.

An Elder Scrolls Bosner in the game of Skyrim with dark skin, pointed ears, black hair that reaches the tops of her shoulders, with cerulean colored war paint that travels from the middle of her forehead to her nose and across the bottoms of her eyes. She is facing towards the right.

I think now is a good time to re-post this clip from my Halloween vid last year. Shows like Dead End will always be important. Representation will always be important. Especially in a world where hate and bigotry continue to persist.

There are plenty of books at your local libraries and bookstores to read and learn about autism that do not focus on Tylenol. Best of all, more and more books are being written and illustrated. More and are being published! 📚

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
