'No Kentucky Home'

“I’m probably one of the only people you’ll see that can just sit there and lay on a piece of concrete with a pillow or nothing and go to bed. That hardens you up.” - John Paul Shanks

I think the reason men get upset about this is two-fold. First, the men that have a shredded physique are spending hundreds of dollars on drugs and hundreds of hours in the gym and kitchen to attain it. They’re also risking organ damage and a shorter life span. That feels worth it if it means (1/x)

What a summary of the anti-trans movement:

March 23rd: female fencer competes in mixed-gender event, beating several male competitors, finishing 8th

March 30th: same fencer films herself telling trans competitor “I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man,” collects $5000
The Fencingtracker.com page for Stephanie Turner, who competed in a mixed gender foil event on 3/23 and finished 8th of 32 competitors The video shows Turner taking her position on the fencing strip-blade ready, uniform on— only for her to toss her mask aside and take a knee. Sullivan approached her, thinking she might be injured, and asked if Turner was okay. "No," Turner recalls telling Sullivan. "I am refusing to fence you, because I am a woman and you are a man." The video of Turner and Sullivan went viral after it was posted to Twitter on April 2 by the Independent Council on Women's Sports (ICONS), a far-right organization which aligns itself with known hate groups such as the Alliance Defending Freedom. It is not immediately clear how ICONS first acquired the video, but it catapulted Turner into the national anti-trans media ecosystem. Less than a week after the post, the XX-XY Athletics Fund-the non-profit arm of an anti-trans clothing brand by the same name— dubbed Turner a "Courage Wins Champion," awarding her $5,000 and mentorship through a "leadership program."

Sometimes I think about how many monopolies exist that legislators wouldn’t touch even if they wanted to because they’re industry specific.
Specifically thinking of Autodesk and Adobe for the work I do, but I’m sure there are dozens I don’t know about

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
