Justice Sotomayor is right: Gender-affirming care saves lives.

Denying trans youth the right to essential medical care is denying them the future they deserve.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

The “T” was removed in references to L.G.B.T.Q.+ on the official site for the Greenwich Village monument, which marks a milestone in the fight for gay rights. Later, the Q+ also disappeared.

I was asked at my new job what I was doing for Valentine's day. (Weird but alright I guess?)

Apparently the correct answer is NOT watching frankenhooker while drinking scotch with my cat. I think I made my new coworkers nervous.

Uhm. Maybe start masking again? If not for you, do it for the immunocompromised and disabled community.

Respiratory illnesses are all over the place. With RFKJr in charge of HHS, we're fucked so take care of yourself and others.

Given the news today, here are some actionable ways to support #autistic people, who will be abjectly demonized and used as political tragedies, while also having services cut.
In the coming years, things are going to get particularly bad for autistics, given RFK's autism demonization. This means it's going to be open season on autistics in school yards (more than usual), and a lot more ableism in general. Here is a thread of some ways to meaningfully support autistics.

This profile has been scrubbed from the site. Rose Ferreira grew up without reliable electricity, immigrated to NY, then survived homelessness and cancer on her way to NASA. She was so moved by images from the Webb telescope she wept. This is what’s at stake

Murphy: "I continue to get reports from Connecticut that agencies there, like Head Start programs and community health centers, are actually not receiving the funding they are due. So I think there's a big question as to whether the administration actually is implementing the court order."
