Remember to be gentle with yourself today. Sometimes there are just things you cannot control, even within your own life.

1. A new poll shows a massive opposition to government censorship of transgender people happening now.
It also shows heavy opposition to the impacts of Trump's anti-trans executive orders... the military ban, teacher investigations, and trans youth care ban.

So, I finally called a psychiatrist to talk about meds, and at first the guy didn't want to let me make an appointment because I take Adderall(?) and then when I convinced him I had that handled he offered me a 4:00 today??

People still murder despite the threat of life in prison. You think the remote chance of a fine is enough to prevent discrimination?!
I’ve had a lot of people say to me “oh you’re not being rejected for jobs because you’re trans, that’s paranoid, they can’t do that”
They’re now firing employees because customers *think* they’re trans. They don’t even want to be seen as *potentially* affiliated with us. Please believe us.

So far this year, I've had big life shifts, a lot of stress, some self-discovery, and not nearly as much sex as I'd like. But I'm going to do my best to enjoy myself, even when the world is rough.

And this question from @jamellebouie.net is not far fetched. The CDC used to collaborate closely with WHO to determine the composition of the next flu vaccine. A highly coordinated, data-driven process that involved global influenza surveillance, virological analysis, and vaccine strain selection.
i feel like it's an open question whether or not the flu vaccine will even be available next season
On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down.
For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now

![REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mmtjkssv6jeneahkgfdxuy7p/bafkreicmr3wybkn6acxmmdf4vuqnzxho2nk7kp3v7tx7vkclg2cjmwvixm@jpeg)
