a '28 Democrat party platform that doesn't unequivocally promise to reverse today's HHS overreach on eliminating healthcare for trans youth is a nonstarter, obviously. But since the Dems are trying to gut section 230 & pass KOSA, we figure they won't make that promise even with fingers crossed

As I posted on the other site back in 2022: the question of "is there actually such a thing as a trans child or a gay child?" is so unimportant compared to the question of "why are we violently disciplining children against certain ways of relating?"

We’re entering a new era of childhood mortality & disability, & almost no one will care bc they’ll just get used to “the new normal” within a few years. They’ll ignore the harm.

How do I know? Because that’s exactly how it went w/COVID, which is the 2nd largest threat to childhood health rn.

with the substantial expansion of the for-profit prison industry underway during this administration, you should understand this - an implicit legal permission structure for v-coding - as a perverse *employment recruitment incentive*

I got really interested last year in the history of alchemical and Aristotelian-Christian thought about the nature of substance, purity and impurity, and how those ideas were applied to humans in the Inquisition and the Conquest. (Un)luckily those ideas are still alive and fucking us up today
TODAY: @sirosenbaum.bsky.social on a wretched little amicus brief filed by a bunch of philosophers on a court case involving trans girls in sports, and which does "not consider or even mention any real, flesh-and-blood women and girls or the lives they lead" flaminghydra.com/purity-tests/

Beleive you me, there's some pots of beans you make where you're gonna want to add some dashi. Just like toss a packet of powdered dashi in there towards the end or make the broth seperately then add it to the bean pot. Either way.

This is a really important article, co-written by settler scholar Leon Laidlaw and Fallon Aubee, a Metis Two-Spirit survivor of both day schools and prison incarceration. I'm particularly blown away by the study showing that of the 99 gender-diverse incarcerated people studied, HALF are Indigenous

heggseth's weird podcast rant (delivered to 800 generals and admirals for some reason) is just another sign of how this is a tv presidency. they don't really know how to do policy. their instinct is theater. encounter a problem? put on a spectacle

From a transcript of a faculty meeting discussing this:

Faculty are being told to not teach on gender and sexuality at all, regardless of their field, and the Dean isn’t even sure if the faculty *can accept papers from students that discuss these topics*.

I finally got a lil 6-cup zojirushi this year & am now a zealous convert to its ways. Fully worth it.
50% of all posts on reddit are "do i really need a fancy rice maker? i can make pretty good rice on the stove" and the other 50% are all "i have tasted of the zojirushi and i can never go back to my old preindustrial ways of ricemaking"
