abolishing the private #adoption industry and ending the legal practice of plenary adoption—the irreversible rewriting of a child’s legal identity and falsification of their natal kinship relations—does *not* mean abolishing long-term custodial care for a child who needs it. +

CONFIRMED: HPV vaccine prevents cervical cancer.
“Girls vaccinated before age 16 were 80% less likely to develop cervical cancer. The reviews also confirm that HPV vaccines are only likely to cause minor, transient side effects such as a sore arm.”
Ever have colposcopy? That pain is NOT transient.

Two new Cochrane reviews show strong and consistent evidence that HPV vaccines are effective in preventing cervical cancer and pre-cancerous changes, especially when given to young people before they are exposed to the virus.

Hey there, Bluesky friends & followers! What (if anything) would you like to see me post about? I'm known for a couple of things. One is transportation communications and the other is being a fairly public trans woman. Here's an example where they intersect: www.intransit.nyc/short-film

Since I don’t want to steal credit from my friend Charlie Pellett, I do want to point out that he is the one that says “Stand clear of the closing doors, please.” I’m the voice that you were hear in the numbered line stations telling you how long before your train arrives.

Recently, the union representing workers at the Coolidge Corner Theatre asked supporters to temporarily halt some donations. Shortly after, the theater's management announced short-term raises.
Both sides now say they're making progress toward an agreement.

After teasing a plan by Trump to extend Affordable Care Act premium subsidies, the White House has delayed the announcement under pressure from Republicans.
If Trump doesn’t sign legislation before Dec. 15, millions will be forced to pay more for health insurance, or forgo it altogether.

I find it sort of interesting that according to some Christian translations of Deuteronomy, i am barred from the Assembly of the Lord on two separate counts in two adjacent verses: i have been “emasculated by cutting” (orchiectomy) (23:1) and i am of “illegitimate birth” (23:2)
