I caught myself smiling today. I don't do it often. Depression and all that. I heard a great song at the dispensary, the staff are nice and, maybe not a good thing, but they're beginning to recognize me. Anyway, here's to smiles. :)

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.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

My 6yo has started pretend electronic locking her bedroom door at night so Trump can't get in. She seemed to think that he himself is going into homes and causing harm. There are children in her school whose families have been impacted by ICE so we assume this is where the concern came from.
A Wash Post review found instances of parents arrested near campuses in at least 10 states so far this year. Actions near campuses—which include shooting a man, releasing tear gas and engaging in a car chase—have prompted lockdowns. @justinemcdaniel.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Called a place for a quote on some junk removal. They didn't ask my name or phone number but, immediately after I got off the phone, I got a text from them. They obviously have caller ID but that's just creepy and I'm sure I'm now added to a cold call list somewhere.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Trumps cut to Continuum of Care grant criteria, cuts funding for permanent supportive housing by 50%. 170,000 people could become newly homeless. This is an outrageous attack on the most vulnerable of populations.

Today was one of *those* days. You know, the ones where nothing goes right. You stub your toe as soon as you get out of bed in the morning and the rest of the day is like stubbing your toes again... and again... and... then, I spend some money I shouldn't to get high and it's all manageable again.
