I've been watching 'The Boyfriend' on Netflix and overall its a cute show but there are times where I'm getting frustrated for one of the boys for being so avoidant. I see parts of myself in him too + there are some aspects of his backstory that resonate with me.I hope he gets his happily ever after

If you had chicken pox, there's a chance you can get shingles later in life.

Weimar Germany was among the most supportive societies for trans people in the history of Europe. This colorized 1921 Willie Römer photo shows four trans people standing outside Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science, 12 years before Nazis stormed the facility and burned its books.

Lol so I slept through it and took it at a later time. The "workshop" in question was a ploy to pay around 40 dollars a month for a "support group". The workshop promised to discuss XYZ but at the end the facilitator said the group goes into the specifics. Wasted 90 minutes of my life
I'm taking an online workshop/training on my day off and it's at 7:00am 💀 why is it this early (From the looks of it , the organization/the facilitators are based in the West coast)?

You know who can’t participate in the economy fully or at all? People whose basic needs aren’t met. Can’t do shit if you’re famished or, worse, dead.
Programs that meet basic needs at scale are virtually always exceptionally effective.

by any conceivable measure SNAP is one of the best programs we have, keeps countless people from food insecurity, and every dollar spent goes back into the community 1.5 times over
if you’re policing what people spend it on because they don’t “deserve” joy you’re a shitty excuse for a human being

Alejandra is not overselling this. This executive order, if weaponized by a lawless administration like Trump, could lead to the dismantling of institutional/nonprofit opposition to Trump.
It can also be used for surveillance and disruption ops similar to the civil rights era and red scare.

Trump just signed an illegal executive order designed to target his political opposition by designating them terrorists and using the DOJ, IRS, FBI, and the JTTF to investigate and charge liberal organizations, funders, members, and protesters.

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.
Many complied and shut down their programs.
Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.
And now, they just beat Trump in court.

Because of this Facebook post by University of Waterloo, I learned that Computer engineering and software engineering aren't interchangeable and are two different programs of study (and I'll probably forget that in a few months)

“I didn’t write it” when his signature matches many others, and he gave leniency to the only woman who could corroborate that he sent it to her, isn’t very convincing.
