It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.

Sad day for NZ trans youth.

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

I only started following the Dodgers last year. That spring, after my kids' school burned down in the Eaton Fire, they were treated with free tickets to a game and the 4th graders went for Jackie Robinson Day, where my kiddo got to take their pic w/Mookie Betts & the World Series trophy.

Suddenly when puberty blockers are given to cis kids, the Daily Mail (the same newspaper which backed Hitler btw) finally admits that "their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

Which is true for trans kids too.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.

“About 1.5 million families in Los Angeles and more than 5 million people statewide receive benefits through the [SNAP]”

I keep trying to tell folks that California is just as fascist as the rest of the country but the inequality should be the scarlet red flag

Los Angeles County officials voted to declare a state of emergency that gives them power to provide assistance for residents they say have suffered financially from ongoing federal immigration raids. https://cnn.it/47gvZns

Reminds me of how immigration attorneys are now writing “confidential address” in humanitarian visa applications, not to protect the client from their abuser but from the federal govt
To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Neurotypicals need to stop telling autistic kids to carry a blue bucket to justify being nonverbal, or not wearing a costume.

Stop asking kids to carry a literal sign they're different.

If a kid shows up on Halloween, give them candy. No requirements. Period.
