Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.

"They'll be fine without hormones!"
No, they won't. Many trans people can no longer produce their own sex hormones and will develop significant and costly health problems, up to and including premature osteoporosis.
The rest will be tortured by the resurgence of the wrong hormones in their blood.

Just renewed my drivers license for RealID. I advise every transgender person, just as I did with passports, to not wait to renew your ID. Get that done now - many states let you do it online, schedule appointments, etc.
Don't get caught flat footed if/when Trump turns RealID against us.

Universities rely enough on grants that they might eliminate positions — perhaps tenured faculty — if the financial situation becomes dire enough. But in the meantime, grad students, postdocs, and “soft money” researchers typically are paid ENTIRELY on federal grant funding. No grant = no salary.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

its cool how even if you pass tenant-friendly laws landlords will just openly admit on reddit that they won't rent to anyone who's ever tried to act on those laws by suing their landlords
