an off the cuff and very incomplete explainer on why it's so hard for the National Symphony Orchestra to part ways with the Kennedy Center
there are a lot of things that would make a divorce hard. One is, a top tier orchestra that performs as regularly as they do needs rehearsal/performance space nearly daily for hours, which a lot of other venues can't give on the regular.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

This is where your Harry Potter money goes
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.

yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.

no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

anyways. hi, cis folks!

the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11.

context & guidance in the thread below. it’s not hard; you can do it while you’re still angry about other things.

9 days left, as of this post!
hi, cis folks!

if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.

~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.

that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

I really thought that second bathroom was it, and then it took a moment for me to realize the third bathroom was, in fact, a bathroom. It took the picture of the toilet before I realized....
First bathroom: Okay, that's not it.

Second bathroom: A little weird, but so?

Third bathroom: OOOOOOOOOOH WTF?
It's important that you look through the gallery for this listing until you get to the top floor bathroom.

Important.
