I was asked by a journalist to answer a bunch of supply chain security questions today and I have to say, I am just a bit exasperated at this point.
Nothing wrong with the questions, but the expectation that there is a template for how you assess risk for your business or a protocol you need to […]

1. The most extreme anti-trans bill ever proposed is currently rocketing through the Kansas legislature.
It would empower bounty hunters to search for trans people in bathrooms, even in private businesses, and sue them for large sums of money.
The House is voting on it today.

A note about the Queensland government's ban on puberty blockers.
It's still just a ban on the state's *public* health system providing these. It's still legal to see a doctor privately for these. Locally or interstate.
We can crowdfund this care for the kids who can't afford it.
