In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly. In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

Is there a law of physics that explains why people (and shopping carts) congregate in the narrowest gap of the room?

These bastards went to court and filed an amicus brief supporting the creation of a constitutional right to bully trans students. This is the inevitable result. It's what they wanted, more dead trans kids.

The overwhelmingly positive experiences of trans youth on puberty blockers

After being stuck in committee for four years, the Pa. Senate passed the CROWN Act Wednesday with a vote of 44-3. That means employers and school officials can’t bar people from jobs or schools for wearing their hair as it grows out naturally or choosing styles that protect it.

Remember, everything will be alright We can meet again somewhere Somewhere far away from here

I wrote about the exhaustion and dissonance of writing about TDOR for the past 15 years

We're not who we used to be We're not who we used to be We're just two ghosts swimming in a glass half empty Trying to remember how it feels to have a heartbeat

Super pleased that this video is getting a little lift. It's a superb debunking of trans panic by Andrea Pitzer, and there's zero footage of Trump, which is Andrea's current ambition for the episodes.

There's a virtual event for journalists who cover trans issues being offered by @objectivejournos.bsky.social tomorrow. @valorievandieman.bsky.social interviewed the organizer and wrote about the event and its goals for Assigned Media today. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

American Gestapo. That is not hyperbole. That is our reality: people arrested and jailed for their speech. A retired policeman posted a Charlie Kirk meme. He spent a month in jail. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.

“A group of Delaware state senators and representatives joined other state-level officials from across the country at a four day conference in Israel called ‘50 States One Israel.’”

Please neighbor when I get home from my overnight trip stop flying that flag at half mast.

This is so Delaware, celebrating the acceleration of capitalism and concentration of wealth.

I'm honestly terrified of what the right will use this as justification for. They're itching to engage in violence against their enemies and this will give them the excuse to do so. This is why political violence is never acceptable. It just descends into uncontrollable chaos and more violence.

You can also ask your doctor to order a titer to assess your immunity (1967 baby here, titer showed MMR immunity, and it did for my mother too).

Anyone else think there is a typo in today's strands? I kept thinking they were trying to trick me. Strands #552 “In stiches” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🟡

Great. Nothing could go wrong here. Not like in 2008...

If you're wondering how things are for trans adults in DE (children's hospital stopped accepting new patients in June): "In early August, Planned Parenthood of Delaware announced that it would cut its behavioral health program, which included certain gender-affirming services as well as therapy."

If less than 2% of mass shootings are by trans people, but nearly all the rest are by cis white men…remind me again why we’re stripping rights from trans folxs instead of talking about gun reform and toxic masculinity?

Protect kids, not guns. Thank you @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social for saying it loud & clear! She’s a proven fighter standing up for working families, education & true safety for all. The bottom line? This is who we need in Congress for #AZ07 #TeamAdelita #AZ07Persists #MomSky #ProudBlue #Pinks

@benmandelker.bsky.social I’m going to lobby for Below Deck. This crew is MESSY.

This resonates today...

Petty issue with a prescription refill today reminds me how messed up our healthcare system is. It shouldn't be this hard and if it's this hard for me, someone with insurance, time and means, I cannot imagine how challenging it is for someone raising children, working full-time, etc.

I just left your bedroom Give me some morphine Is there any more to do?

I’d like to dwell on his comment (repeated several times throughout the interview) that he has to focus on “the lived experience of Jewish people here.” With zero acknowledgment that 1. We as Jews have been conditioned to live in fear. 2. Israeli propaganda has perpetuated that fear.

The U.S. Air Force is denying early retirement to all transgender service members with between 15 and 18 years of military service, opting instead to kick them out with no retirement benefits, according to a memo seen by Reuters. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Sweet creature Had another talk about where it's going wrong

this is getting next to no media attention and it’s horrifying. transphobes weren’t going to stop at bathrooms, no hormones for minors, they are going to keep pushing until it’s entirely illegal and no one is standing up for us other than trans people

I gotta get better, gotta get better I gotta get better, gotta get better I gotta get better, gotta get better And maybe we'll work it out

Shylock is a slur. It means Jewish bankers who fleece people for high interest. Trump knows it. He’s referred to Jews using this slur more than once. Where are all the people that love to shout antisemitism on both sides of the aisle? Nowhere. Cause they don’t actually fucking care about Jews.
