the first trans person I ever knew personally was a classmate from my “all girls” Catholic high school who transitioned I think in his 20s, and when I tell y’all we watched in real time as the unhappiest queer 90s teen you can imagine blossomed into the sunniest, most wholesome man on earth
cis folks, i'm curious for you to share answers, if you want:
what made you start caring about trans rights? who'd you know/what happened? tell me the story.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.
Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.
Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.
That.

So my kids have been going through their old things like books and toys and I have a collection of very very lightly used stuffed animals I want to donate somewhere.
Anyone know of a place in the Davis/Sacramento area that takes very lightly used stuffed animals?

The surface of Venus is a lethal crushing inferno BUT about 50km up in the atmosphere you have:
* Earth-like temperatures
* 1 Bar pressure
* sunlight for power
Aerostats filled with breathable air would float! We could live in cloud cities and even go *outside* wearing little more than scuba gear!

Per CalFire the #EatonFire is now 13,956 acres, a very small increase from 13,690. We love firefighters. Especially turn your thoughts to the nearly 800 incarcerated people who volunteered to risk their lives to fight these fires for horrifically low wages

You have to understand Ireland only gets snow every couple of years, and proper snow for snowmen and igloos? maybe once a decade. We’ve no infrastructure for it so 10cm and we’re snowed in, everything closes. Everyone reverts to being children, it’s a national event.
