The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far.
Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million)

I really enjoyed this chat. We discussed how the right uses the tools & audience relationships of social differently than the left, constantly evolving messages - and how this is very different than institutions taking a top-down approach.
We talked about “free speech as meme,” rather than value.

This is a fascinating conversation featuring @aaronrosspowell.com and @noupside.bsky.social on the topic of the right’s propaganda supermachine.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality
![[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hppum4l25hcczzffastsicpq/bafkreihuubdwcftfkvvlnepoaf6pfxqulryfp7ydrydi5fe2pflwz63wgm@jpeg)

My love for fictional characters motivates me to write.
I've always grown deeply attached to characters as people, and how well a story can convey respect for the people within it, while still being engaging by its other merits, is one of my highest evaluations of whether I like a story.

A message of hope amidst oppression.
It's very much about how to cope with the stress of times like these and find a way forward. The protagonist is a naive, reckless teenage dumbass, but she keeps her eyes focused on a path to change things. That gives her strength that she can pass onto others.
