I just want to know that I read this as gender-affirming cake, and I think that’s also important. Gonna make sure 16 has both care and cake.
Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

My thanks to all who have been engaging w/ this 🧵 about retrieving the work of the ♀️ healer Trota out of this (itself digitally retrieved) medical manuscript from the 12th century. Here's a mini-🧵 w/ some follow-up info, the kind of connections that come from shared expertise. #WomensHealth #histmed
Oh wow! This is what happens when you're photographing MSS & don't capture the text in the inner gutter. 1st, here's the photograph (made about 100 yrs ago) of the Codex Salernitanus, f. 82ra. Although that big tear of the page is obvious, the inner gutter hasn't been fully captured in the photo.

One thing is clear: ICE has no idea what WTF they're doing. There is no plan or strategy beyond racist thuggery. Which means it's very easy for us to dissuade them. Let's make North Carolina a huge pain in Trump's ass, y'all.

The rapid, grassroots response my community demonstrated for our neighbors is why we're going to win. My patrol area was relatively small but there were a couple dozen folks who showed up in the middle of the day on Tuesday to keep others safe.
Tonight, as the sun set in Durham, while hundreds more joined patrols in Charlotte, courageous local officials, people of faith, and community leaders gathered to say: Enough is enough.
