June was a very mixed bag spanning 1985-2025. Great Grandpa sure to stay near the top all year long. Same for Momma, Pictoria Vark, and Alien Boy releases this year. We may live in a fascist hellscape (Hellmode?), but the tunes are good. #5x5 #LastFM #music #NowPlaying

🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care. Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

The House Republican reconciliation bill will now ban both surgeries and HRT prescription under Medicaid for all Americans. Earlier, I posted that it wouldn’t affect HRT. This is incorrect. I was mistaken, because the bill refers to medications for trans people… as “procedures.”
