Good on you ladies.

So the article quotes the question but doesn't answer the question. The answer is the Katy Police Department. Seems like that matters.

Hey, friends. Please remember that feeling bad does not actually make you a better person or help anyone. Decouple action from emotion. Do what you can to help while feeling as good as you can. People to object to you *feeling* happy, regardless of your actions, are being pointlessly cruel.

Somebody got the memo that every single rural hospital was going to have to shut down

The @washingtonpost.com story on Tylenol & autism leaves out a MAJOR 2.5M sibling-controlled study of children in Denmark, which "found no evidence that acetaminophen use during pregnancy was associated with children’s risk of autism, ADHD or intellectual disability." jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I start my new job in two weeks on October 6. It’s a year-long contract (fully remote) for $180k, which works for me b/c it gets me exactly what I need & allows me to accomplish a helluva lot. Also, a reminder: if you’re a Black software engineer, DM me b/c they’re still recruiting to fill spots.

So we charge an obscene amount to go to medical school, which keeps countless people from attending, and we have a shortage of medical professionals here making us rely on people coming from other countries to fill that need. And to thank them we are going to charge them $100,000 a year to do so? 👍

Thank you for sharing!

This week we heard/saw so many jaw-dropping things about RFK Jr. and his anti-vax crusade Genuinely hard to describe it all, convey its importance Did my best here, in my latest for @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/rfk-jr-pre...

I told my 60+ year old mom about payment processors limiting what people can buy or suspending accounts over buying adult books and toys. She, a rather prudish person, was horrified that they should be the morality police. Maybe get your romance book moms to send some strongly worded letters.

I'm grateful to all the health care systems and insurance companies that are providing COVID vaccines according to science rather than conspiracy theories

I keep thinking “gosh I’ve wasted this whole day” when in fact I have done the most important thing in the world, which is rest. It is so hard to remember that lying down is more important than laundry, more important than meal planning, etc

Now I'm getting conflicting reports about whether the Rapture will be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, and, look, I know that TECHNICALLY no man knows the hour of His coming and all, but if we could actually pin this down on the schedule it'll help me plan the rest of my week, thanks

Here's your Sunday reminder! Please call and/or email your democratic representatives to stand up for trans rights! Deadline is Sept. 30th! In 9 days!!

I believe this to my core. They're using trans people as a test case to dismantle individual rights in the US.

I'm gonna just say this: if you are a trans person, you need to have other trans people in your life that you can co-regulate with and you need to talk to them more than you talk to Bluesky. This app is a firehose of terror and bad news for us and it's going to tie your amygdala in a damn knot.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

If you have an extra $10 a month to spare, here's a list of worker-owned cooperative news sites you might want to support: • 404 Media • Defector • The Flytrap • Flaming Hydra • The Appeal • Aftermath • Racket • Hell Gate • The 51st • The Colorado Sun • Range Media • Discourse Blog • Pop Heist

Every single cis man needs to watch the most recent episode of Platonic (I think season 2 episode 8). The absolute frustration and anger when a cis dude completely ignores your existence and your effort purely because you are not also a cis man is something that cannot be described in words. 1/2

these perverts *takes top off* want to undress *takes pants off* in front of everyone

If a trans person ever even attempted this they would be called a sex offender. Really does look like projection at this point.. Her defense was "I have my swimsuit on" ???

"The university held off, but she eventually lost the job anyway—thanks to Trump’s education cuts, which she publicly cheered even as she admitted they cost her own livelihood."

1. Moms For Liberty has stormed school boards to pass hateful anti-LGBTQ+ policies the last few years. In Davis, though, one chapter president, Beth Bourne, did something completely unexpected this week. She took off her clothing in front of the school board. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

As we begin another week, my law firm is litigation 52 voting and election cases in 25 states. We are preparing another half dozen. The fight for free and fair elections is the fight of our time and I am proud that my firm is helping to lead this fight in court.

1. The Trump admin has demanded New York City to ban trans kids from bathrooms. Mayor Adams has come out in support of Trump's proposal. NY Law protects trans youth, and Adams has no power to implement it. Meanwhile, Mamdani has slammed Adam's comments. Subscribe to support our journalism.

🐱 Avian flu in house cats A case series reports H5N1 infections in four domestic cats near a California dairy farm. With early care and oseltamivir, survival was possible and antibodies persisted for months. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #SciComm #Influenza 🧪

there is a point here i want to amplify. the free speech defenders of the mainstream seem to have no awareness that actual free speech is often more fractious and destabilizing than civil and respectful. a society where speech is genuinely free isn’t the deferential space they want it to be.

The only ones asking people to change their gender are the ones who oppose transgender care.

But just because it is hard to do doesn't mean it's not worth doing. In fact, because #measles is spreading, it's even more important to have respirators and clean air. Because so many people have done their misinformation-laden "homework" and aren't vaccinating.

This was ENTIRELY PREDICTABLE. "The CDC is urging Americans to cancel their upcoming flights if they are not vaccinated against measles." "The agency has upgraded its health travel warning after discovering the virus - one of the most infectious in the world - is spreading on US airplanes."

So regularly destroyed is trans stuff that it's an obscure fact that 2 words beginning with trans (transfeminate and transection) were in English dictionaries to describe someone who 'changed sex' from the mid 1600s until well into the 20th century.

Disney adults are doing what media professionals claimed was too hard. Standing in the core principle of what they centered over their access

I can explain the term "the woke right." The logic: 1) I denounced "wokeness" for years, proclaiming it dire threat to free speech, a civilizational danger 2) This fascism I was downplaying while focused on wokeness seems actually bad 3) Since I am by definition never wrong, the fascism is wokeness

While feasting on smoke and cooking smells, the horrid little gremlin pares its toenails with its teeth and borrows your coffee grinder to blitz the parings to smithereens.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Not only do these people not recognize disabled people’s humanity, they don’t think they’ll ever have to deal with it and then they think magical services should have been in place just for them?!

Your regular reminder that cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.

The naked emperor is babbling shit on tv again

CIS PEOPLE you have 7 more days to call your representatives to tell them to not vote for anti-trans legislation. Meanwhile, our rights are continuing to get revoked. At least you can help us protect trans healthcare!!

Imagine being this afraid of people, that you think this might be an emergency.

20 Sep 25 -- Blocked by a court injunction from enforcing the new policy of only M/F on US passports, Trump appeals to Supremes for an emergency reinstatement of the policy. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Disney didn’t just incur a $3.8 billion loss overnight. If the boycott continues, it could escalate to over $20 billion. This is how you combat fascism.

OH i get it, liberals think trans rights are a question of freedom of expression and not one of bodily autonomy

Busy cancelling our Disney plus accounts this weekend right?

Have you had a day off this week? Rest isn't something you deserve or earn, it's something you need, like food and air. Please don't withhold the things you need to live!

I went through the hour special and outside of the "I'm a Christian and family man" stuff here's all two minutes of him actually talking, and you can see why ABC didn't air this
