The Deadlands is a great journal to support. I love/find intriguing everything in every issue. And I like that they are slim, digestible, focused. I get the print issues because I like holding something in my hand as I read.

never let them convince you that reading is a waste of time or that reading physical books is replaceable. Physical books, zines, etc -- these are spaces where we cannot be monitored, where we can truly be w/our own thoughts for a gd min & make up our own minds. Of course that frightens them

Our puppy had her spay operation this past week, and felt sorry for herself for approximately twelve hours, but now wants it to be known that she feels great and would like to raise some hell just as soon as we let her out of her stupid puppy-pen.

BREAKING: Federal judge rejects DOJ's effort to subpoena the names and medical records of children who have received gender-affirming medical care from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA IN RE: SUBPOENA NO. 25-1431-014 : MISCELLANEOUS ACTION : : NO. 25-39 MEMORANDUM KEARNEY,J. November 21, 2025 Our elected Congresspersons granted the Department of Justice limited authority in 1996 to investigate federal health care offenses involving the labeling and distribution of prescription drugs. The Department of Justice is now investigating the labeling and distribution of prescribed clinically authorized puberty blockers and hormone therapy. It subpoenaed fifteen categories of records from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia including billing and insurance records, communications with manufacturers and sales representatives, and the names and complete medical and psychological records of children receiving gender-affirming care. The Hospital agrees to produce most of the requested materials. But it objects to producing the identities of its child patients and their families along with their confidential medical files. Its objection requires we study two questions: whether Congress authorized a subpoena for the children's confidential medical records, and, if so, whether the children's privacy interests outweigh the Department of Justice's need for these confidential medical records under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. We find the answer to both questions is "no." We strike the three requests for these child- identifying and treatment and disclosure records as beyond the authority granted by Congress. We also find, even if this private information could be relevant, the heightened privacy interests of children and their families substantially outweighs the Department's need to know the children's names, addresses, and treatment along with disclosures for gender-affirming care at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
