I tried those Taco Bell dipping burritos last weekend and thought they were yummy actually and when I went back today they were GONE. Sick and twisted.

Hey! My beat is changing. I'm still covering LGBTQ+ news, but now I'm focused on how LGBTQ+ people are navigating the American health care system. I'm sure it's going great, right? If you're struggling with insurance, care costs or access, then I want to hear about it. Text me on Signal @orionr.80

If confirmed, this really is a new low, where a state agency is altering image of real events with an intent to deceive the public.

Apropos of everything, I remember discussing the Watchmen series in a media class in college during peak covid and my professor emphasized that the pandemic shifted everyone's view on masks, and that the early scene with a masked officer was supposed to be far more jarring.

A study recently found that numerous protein shakes and supplements also have a high content of lead in them. I don't know how the process differs across products but I am very wary now of basically anything that's been "protein-ified"

The sudden nostalgia for 2016 is very morbidly funny to me because its a sign of how things have just gotten so much worse. I feel like pre-2020 everyone agreed 2016 sucked.

Whatever the outcome is in today’s SCOTUS case, it’s important to remember that ultimately sports should be for everyone and forcing someone to nonconform just to compete is antithetical to team sports and the goal of driving trans people out of public life.

Lia Thomas, who hasn't swam in four years and has been living a quiet life away from media appearances (unlike the sore loser pictured next to her) is still the face of right-wing media's anti-trans sports brigade because this is a made up problem.

All of Charlie Kirk’s friends tried to force his legacy upon the nation and now not only are people winning their lawsuits but like 4 months later the youths on TikTok are saying “lowkirkuinely” and have turned him into a meme on par with “skibidi toilet” and “6-7”

Bari Weiss' CBS News tried to push a much more openly transphobic terminology and coverage. The correspondent who pushed for this is reportedly Jan Crawford.

Emotional this morning reading the obituary of Rebecca Heineman and re-reading her wife's, Janelle Jaquays. Trans women have shaped games from Doom to D&D and some of their most ungrateful chud players chug the culture war koolaid.

What's really entertaining about that Oklahoma girl's MAGA mother defending her online by calling the paper "opinion-based" is that it still doesn't void the responsibility of providing sources. Even a personal opinion should be founded on SOMETHING.

Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too.
