Headline: trans girl sets triple jump record

Reality: It's a meet record in division 3. It's not even a sports record or a top division record. It's for a single meet, the kind of record that goes down all the time.

So many such cases of disinformation.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care.

The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care.

This one at UVA Hospital.

Jo Ellis said it is "insulting to the victims and families" to have been incorrectly named as one of the pilots involved in the crash on Wednesday.

oh shit they've got an instagram-esque wrapper for bsky already! THIS is what I've been waiting for.

...you simply log in and it recontextualizes bsky to revolve around your art posts- same followers, same art posts, same account, no re-uploading.

My hope is for us to all live long enough to be around to see a generation of trans youth who won't believe our stories about how bad things were back in the day.

While my mother was in the hospital, physicians decided her reproductive life should end. While she was in labor, she was told that she had to consent to tubal ligation for the doctor to deliver her baby. This was part of a national program, sanctioned by state governments, that sterilized women.

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall.

They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+.

Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them.

I think about it a lot in moments like this.

it's probably just me, but if your pfp is a swastika—even if it's got a big "no" slash through it—i'm probably going to block you because i don't want to be staring at swastikas all day &, if i may offer some truly unsolicited advice? i feel like there's a better way to convey what your deal is?

this is an illegal order. the president does not have the legal authority to discriminate against entire categories of americans on the basis of sex. this order is no different than if he had issued one reinstituting segregation.
