CDC’s clinical guidelines for PrEP — which all but eliminates HIV risk — have been removed from CDC’s website. This is what you get when you search.
Expanding PrEP access is essential to end HIV infections.
They want people to get HIV as some sort of punishment for being immoral.

I'm seeing a few reports of this, but I can't confirm this is widespread. I have been told a separate passport office is no longer processing changes, but new apps will go by your BC and renewals by your current info.
There's a lot of confusion out there on passports and no real answer yet.

i use mullvad. it's generally best to use a vpn provider that's not too big, not too small (in terms of popularity).
i also use firefox. but no browser inherently provides privacy. really about how you configure/use it. if i were you i'd read up more on opsec.

yeah it was a recent thing unfortunately.
i would not rely on any email provider to protect you on its own - use whatever you'd like, but make sure you're taking opsec measures like using a vpn, working in a clean environment (vm / clear your cookies at the very least).

Your periodic reminder that if you need to get out of your house FAST, do not bother trying to stuff your cats into carriers, just scoop them up in pillowcases. (You can drop said squirming rage sacks into carriers for added security if you have time.)

the whole amber alerts situation is terrible. received one last week that you could not view if you didn’t have an X account. they should really link to the info on California Highway Patrol’s site, not a third party’s.
