breaking: the negotiated NDAA to authority military spending would ban trans women from competing in sports at military academies
it would likely be the first sports ban in federal statute, and would codify a definition of sex as solely defined at birth
unless something changes it is set to be law

1. In a Sunday Night surprise, the trans healthcare coverage ban has been removed from the military NDAA.
Congressional leaders released the negotiated bill this evening, and though the House AND Senate contained the provision, it is not in the final bill!

Trans Healthcare Coverage Ban Stripped From Negotiated Military NDAA Bill In Sunday Night Surprise
Anti-DEI and sports ban provisions for the military still exist in the bill, but the removal of a health care provision is a major victory for transgender people in congressional legislation.

December 6th. New month. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Okay, so. I've finally gotten around to the transcripts for blooddollpod.com and I find myself in the place I _usually_ find myself with well-written pieces which is that I want to get in the middle of the ethical argument being had and yell at all sides and get murdered for my insolence.

I grew up under Section 28, when a teacher who spoke to me about the fact I thought I was gay almost lost their job as a result of it.
A queer kid was _literally_ NSFW, and that's what we're sliding back to.

The fascists are counting on you finding erotica and porn too distasteful to support. Because they always start here. And even if they ended here, sexuality and erotism are integral components of queer expression. You can't support queer creators without supporting 'nsfw' content.

The stress of raising money for shelter on a daily basis leads to disability flares.
On top of that their van broke.
$100 gives them a night
$550 gets them a week, that's cheaper and gets them a chance to rest!
