I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Millennial women are struggling with motherhood, perimenopause, being undiagnosed ADHD or other, losing their bodily rights, trying to protect their kids from the right wing, AND the entire world is going to shit.

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach.
If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US.
And nobody covered it.

Every city choose your anti-fascist culinary projectile challenge.
And they want to try this in Chicago?
Taking a sub to the chest is nothing compared to catching a 60-pound deep dish pizza.
There's going to be a lot of feds with giant circles punched clean through their stomachs, standing there all confused like Wile E. Coyote.

It's crazy that you can say something like "I'm against child rapists" to republicans and their first reaction is to argue.

I was just scolded and unfollowed for not showing “proper empathy” for Hulk Hogan.
Sorry. No empathy in my tank for Nazi bigots. Fresh out.

I used to tolerate a lot because I didn’t want to lose people.
Now I establish boundaries because I don’t want to lose myself.

You deserve better.
We all do.
And I'm so sorry that things are not okay right now.
You aren't alone. I'm glad you are still here 💛

There is a coffee shop in NH, Flamingos, that received a 2-star Yelp review saying they were "Disgustingly Pro-Women"
Not only does this shop serve fantastic drinks but apparently they know how to make lemonade from lemons The shirt is very popular and part of the proceeds go to their community

Just a friendly reminder that you’re not being “unrealistic” if you wish to pull a book from a bookshelf and find that it opens the door to a hidden room.
If anyone tells you otherwise, it's fair to say they were likely never your true friend to begin with.

Finally a corporation is reacting to what’s happening here. Don’t be surprised that it’s not a car company or a shampoo brand. They’re all still pretending that life is normal.
It’s a bookstore.
Barnes and Noble fills their store display windows with Orwell’s 1984 and Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale.
