It’s getting lost in the noise, but the “Big, Beautiful Bill” just passed by the House GOP basically removes health care coverage for gender-affirming care for ALL trans people. Not only trans youth but trans adults, too. Only the most privileged trans Americans would still have coverage.

I don’t think folks realize how expensive kids’ shows are, and how important CPB funding is to the development and distribution of all the PBS KIDS shows the kids in your life learn from and love.

Commenter on NPR said “we need to work for the people who have their names stitched on their jackets, not those with pronouns in their email signature.” After a story abt the VA stopping gender affirming care. Trans ppl didn’t choose to be in the bullseye. Plz don’t cave to this false dichotomy.

I spent the week panicking about a work task. Finally did it today. Took a few hours, but a coworker helped, and everyone was thrilled with the end product.

I’ve saved hundreds over the past month just by avoiding Target and Amazon. And I’ve enjoyed trying out some great local businesses. Not the point of changing my habits, but excellent side effects.

I've been putting off sending a professional email since July because I've dreaded the response.
I sent it today, and received a reply of "no worries that's fine" in about three minutes.
