Earlier this week I was running D&D for tweens and one of them was disguised as Rudolph and roleplaying that he was being mobbed by kids in the scene. As I was RPing the kids I had one tell “Rudolph” to count to ten and when he said 6-7 I had the kids scream it at him.
Still riding that high tbh.

I was crying a little missing my dad while watching a movie and in the span of 30 seconds I spilled my boozy hot cocoa all over myself and my sheets, and a candle exploded so I had to literally put out a fire.
So I guess what I’m saying is my dad’s spirit has still has his weird sense of humor

One thing I like about Spirited is I’m glad Jacob Marley had a chance to make good too. Like it must suck for him to see Scrooge get a chance to turn things around and he’s just sitting around like “so… about my chains?”

1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide.
Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now.
But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately.

HHS Sec. Kennedy Attempts To Stop Trans Youth Care In Hospitals Nationwide—Before New Federal Rules Take Effect
Like many of the Trump regime’s attempted powergrabs, this kind of piecemeal and disheveled rulemaking is enforced at least in part by fear and sheer uncertainty.

Yeah they are just grabbing people off the street every day and putting them in torture camps if you have time to give a shit about this probably use it for ethnic cleansing they're attempting
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

this Kennedy Center situation is definitely a desecration…. but it also feels like a bit of a champagne problem next to all the mass internments, military war footing, and FBI rebooting COINTELPRO

The reaction to this story and Michael’s thread is a prime example of how social media makes people coldhearted assholes
This is going to trigger another round of abuse for this woman but the basic facts appear to be that she was separated at the time and so was the CEO. She recoiled on the jumbotron because her husband was attending the same concert.
At a Coldplay concert in July, Kristin Cabot appeared on the Jumbotron in the arms of her boss. Cabot retreated, trying to make things right with the people who mattered most. Now, for first time since that viral moment, Cabot is sharing her side of the story. trib.al/I8tWdU4

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.
Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

I recognize using they/them pronouns is a polite way to not assume people’s gender if you don’t know.
And I also deeply internalize it and feel dysphoria when people use them for me.
