Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog!
Today may be scary, but now it's up to us to be the heroes we need to see in our communities.
Our institutions and elected leaders have failed to prevent this moment, but if we work together to stand up for our friends and neighbors we can make a big difference.

probably worth remembering that most of Trump's executive orders will be symbolic, not-legally-enforceable bullshit and you should:
- follow non-sensationalist sources for analysis
- wait to panic until things shake out a bit

How many things like this will it take before people realize you can’t change a party owned by capital from the inside
Pelosi is trying to block AOC from becoming the ranking member on the oversight committee.
It’s time for the Democratic establishment to step aside.

I'm tired of the framing of trans suicides as an entirely internal struggle detached from the realities of a deeply hostile culture hell-bent on denying us care, dignity, and autonomy.
Every trans suicide is a social murder, because you cannot ignore a society actively trying to eradicate us.

Raw milk is cool if you want to do something dangerous with absolutely no benefit. All risk, no reward. Like trying to eat a campfire.

The warning about "decivilization" didn't come after any one of a number of school shootings. It didn't come after January 6. It was after a health insurance company CEO's shooting wasn't received with national mourning:

in order to get a 22 yo on the front of a magazine next to copy that says “she’s 13,” a lot of people in the highest roles of that magazine have to agree they’re good with straight up lying to readers.
@jessesingal.com 's first anti-trans piece in The Atlantic had a photo of a trans 22 year old for a child-transition piece that forced him to come out to his family and friends. Shrier-esque in infantilizing adult transmascs as kids/ daughters with no agency

The Atlantic tried to artistically show gender dysphoria on its cover. Instead it damaged the trust of transgender readers. - Poynter
A 2018 Atlantic cover story about families with transgender teenagers misgendered its cover model and crossed ethical boundaries in the process.

Tucked into the Cass Report, deep in the appendices, you'll find that they reviewed thousands of patient records and found no one who'd been harmed by puberty blockers and fewer than 10 detransitions.
It’s even worse knowing that Wes actually met trans kids, listened to them cry about how awful it would be to go through the wrong puberty, how this is a lifesaving treatment, and is fucking doing this anyway
It’s even more heartless than shutting them out of conversations

BREAKING: I have seen confirmation that the indefinite puberty blocker ban for trans kids that was passed by the NI Executive yesterday will be UK-wide. It will come into effect on January 1 2025 when the temporary ban expires.
It is being laid before Parliament today.
