🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care.

Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

The reason I don’t like Gale (BG3) isn’t the autism-coding. It’s the fact that he treats Mystra and his relationship with her like too many boys who act as if women are an object they can put gifts into to get something out. And he really doesn’t treat Tav any better or differently.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

Unreasonably cranky today. Yes, I’m tired, but my level of cranky is disproportionate to the level of tired.
The fact that I should probably use ear protection in MY OWN BATHROOM due to the constant construction banging, drilling, and grinding from next door and underneath my apartment?

Alright, I’m resolving the debate. All of these are simultaneously true:

1) Dems are the minority in Congress, greatly limiting their institutional power

2) Congressional Dems can and should be doing more

3) Some Dems are actually doing opposition, drawing public attention, etc

4) Not enough are

i know a lot of people are like "live for spite!!!" and i 100% support that if that's what keeps you going but if it doesn't work for you you can live for a variety of reasons, including "read book that isn't out yet", "love", "step on a crunchy leaf", "look at the river", "pat a creature" etc

Pale red area is red flag/high wind area. I have to fly out of LAX tomorrow (see bottom of screen cap). To say my anxiety is through the roof may be an understatement.

Today’s mood: I’m just so tired of fighting. Fighting to stay afloat financially. Fighting the black dog. Fighting for justice and equity in this capitalist trash fire.

Mind, I’m not giving up, I’m just so tired. It would be great if things could get even a little easier.

Just did the math: At Los Angeles gas prices, it’s roughly the same cost to drive across the country as it is to fly. This seems wrong somehow.

And in discussing romancing Lucanis, I point at my husband and say “not like I have a type or anything”
To which he responds “oh no, I’ll have to go sit outside in the dark and think about that for a while.”🤣

Having a hard time talking about christmas, since I’m financially at the point where I’m either paying rent or eating.🧵

another curmudgeonly thread for the many of you who will be entering organizing spaces.

all other things being equal, when confronted with one team of people recruiting you to Be a Thing and another team recruiting you to Do a Thing, please give serious thought to joining the second.

Actually, here’s a question: which one is LESS evil - Musk or Bezos?

I’m not often active on socials, but what the heck. The muskrat is awful, let us leave him behind.
