If you haven't been watching The Great North, I highly recommend binging the entire series. The series finale was beautiful and so much needed optimism. The perfect ending to a really fun show full of heart.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone.
Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

Our new healthcare payment won't be as much as we feared, but at my current pay rate, the increase alone is still going to be 3% of my earnings for the entire year. Others have it much worse. Nice dystopia we have here.

Hey #Dodgers fans, did you have an interaction with the LAPD in Echo Park the night of the World Series victory? The Echo Park Neighborhood Council is compiling stories about what happened so we can address the issue. You can stay anonymous. DM me.

What's our next move? Where do we put all this anger?
And if you tell me "This is a good thing, actually" I will put my anger on you.

I'm at a sports bar reading Rat Queens & paying zero attention to sports, & for some reason Trump is on the screen talking about football. I looked up to see a bunch of deeply unhappy people forced to stand as I guess he recited the Pledge of Alliegance? Anyway, everyone in this bar is baffled.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment."
This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

NEW: On the shadow docket, the Supreme Court lets Trump resume misgendering trans Americans on their passports, claiming "the government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...
![This case concerns an Executive Branch policy requiring
all new passports to display an individual’s biological sex at
birth. The United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts preliminarily enjoined the Government
from enforcing the policy, and the First Circuit declined to
stay the injunction pending appeal. The Government then
filed this stay application. Applying our familiar stay fac-
tors at this preliminary stage, we grant the application.
Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends
equal protection principles than displaying their country of
birth—in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to
a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential
treatment. And on this record, respondents have failed to
establish that the Government’s choice to display biological
sex “lack[s] any purpose other than a bare . . . desire to
harm a politically unpopular group.” Trump v. Hawaii, 585
U. S. 667, 705 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted).
Nor are respondents likely to prevail in arguing that the
State Department acted arbitrarily and capriciously by de-
clining to depart from Presidential rules that Congress ex-
pressly required it to follow. See 22 U. S. C. §211a.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiacrtgoecxjy5y7ojz7xzbun4c4nwutjcvqn4qb4p25ldpt6va5lu@jpeg)

I've been researching a book about set safety, & this week I had to add yet another name to my list of crew who died on set.
If any crew members have witnessed a death on set & are willing to talk about how it happened & how we stop it from happening again, please reach out. Can be anonymous.

#Gerrymandered and fired up? Fight back—run for office, even when the map is rigged. Can’t Win Victory Fund helps “can’tidates” in impossible districts make noise, grow the vote for up-ballot races and push for fair maps—and yes, we make it fun.

Hey if you live in Los Angeles and this inspires you to get involved in politics, might I recommend running for your neighborhood council. It's a great place to start your political journey. Here in Echo Park, we have a few seats open. HMU if you think that sounds cool.

Something about the Dodgers victory starting a blue wave, but like a baseball stadium wave but also a political wave. Who's really good with puns? Do something with that.

Cops were blocking our path home. I told one cop I just needed to turn down the street he was blocking so I could get to my apartment.
"You can't always get what you want" - then forced me to turn around and head back into the very area they were preparing to disperse w nonlethals.

So many people out on Sunset blasting "Not Like Us".
The joy on the street is incredible. Strangers are high fiving each other. Drunk ladies are dancing in the intersections. Fireworks are smoking up the air.
