Re-intro post: I do most of my social, nerdy, geeky, posting through here, along with more personal takes on trans stuff and while I repost a lot of political content here, I've shifted most of my longer form trans advocacy writing to an alt, the name of which is left as an exercise to the reader.

At various times I've had ambitions of watching in original broadcast order and this...

It's one of those things that is great that it exists but omg, I don't think I'd want to try to put full focus attention on for the whole thing - though I did some skip-forward watching just now.

So, I _just_ started reading @charliejane.bsky.social 's "Lessons in Magic and Disaster" to @tikva82.bsky.social last night & we made it up to the start of chapter 5 & we're a couple of queer ladies who've lived around greater Camberville for a bit and: "Oh _that_ place!", "Oh _that_ person!"

Many people dismissed the announcement Catholic hospitals will ban gender-affirming care nationwide under the assumption that there will be other options. In reality, Catholic hospitals make up as much 46% of options in some states. This map is 2020, prior to Trump’s assault on safety net hospitals.

We are entering a phase when it will be very important to not hand it to Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: "I never thought that fighting to release the Epstein files, defending women who were victims of rape, and fighting to expose the web of rich powerful elites would have caused this, but here we are."

When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."

Kind of an emergency but I lost my job and really need help. I made good money but I support my wife and two kids so we are very much in trouble.

I am fighting for our rights and community, and I really need help.

Six years ago today, a week after I had come out as trans at work, I used the start of Trans Awareness Week to come out as trans to friends on social media - about 50+ of them I had been out to before.

As crappy as the political climate is, it remains one of my best decisions & I wouldn't change it

Kei: What's the big deal? That's so close-minded!

Yuri: Nowadays, one in ten people have gotten their sex changed.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

Just saw the terrible news that US Bishops just banned gender affirming care at Catholic hospitals.

A reminder, from the reproductive justice front - For a lot of people, Catholic hospitals are their only option. Even places where they aren't, they sometimes set standard of care.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In the multistate SNAP case, Judge Talwani will:
- keep USDA's 11/8 order that states "undo" full payments or face penalties stayed for now
- issue a TRO mirroring the RI case TRO to protect states directly
- likely address an error states say USDA made in its partial payment tables
