We’re in court today fighting President Trump’s executive order that seeks to restrict gender-affirming medical care for trans people.

This order threatens to withhold federal funding from medical institutions that provide this essential health care for people under age 19.

I know cruelty is the point but… man this one is just especially ghoulish. They say they’re doing this to “protect the kids” but it’s always been so painfully obvious what the truth is. The want trans kids to die, to disappear, to be erased.

Don’t forget to carve out time in your busy schedule to disassociate. Anywhere from 30 minutes to 12 hours a day is ideal. 😂

“Why is Elon’s coup not on the front page of the New York Times???”

idk, probably because the NYT is a puzzle game app that happens to also release articles about how trans people aren’t real but are also somehow a menace. It’s like asking why there isn’t a sonnet printed on your toilet paper

A US judge blocked President Donald Trump's administration from moving transgender women to men's prisons and ending their gender-affirming care reut.rs/3CG9blz

Sending just absolutely increasingly unhinged emails to my reps today with subject lines like "U.S. Treasury????" and now I see that the only thing separating me from the weird political gadflies I used to mock was about 25 years.

Made a guide for how to take action to protect gender affirming care. These youth and their families are in a state of terror and crisis. Check this out to learn what's happening and for an easy-to-use list of actions to take. #transnews #transgender #protecttransyouth

may every trans child grow into a trans adult

How it feels to be trans in America right now:

I’ve been seized by fear for our family, for our daughter’s ability to grow up safely. I can’t sleep. I can’t think. Thankfully, my wife has a 37-step plan and is hyper-focused.

If you cannot call it what it is when all in a week: a government removes every mention of a group of people, destroys information about them en masse, bans their discussion in schools, restricts their ability to travel and starts seizing and refusing their official identification, when will you?

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

Here are some nice mushrooms

PBS is free and steaming on PBS website, including access to many past shows. It has been for years. No need for Prime or to support Amazon.

If you join your local PBS at $5/month you’ll get PBS Passport, which provides access to stream thousands of PBS dramas, news, cooking, documentaries, etc

Lit. on Fire Books needs your support to get us through 2025. We've been hit with a lot of factors that created a perfect storm. The epicenter was acute leukemia striking RIGHT as Lit. hit its peak. I fought for my life for a month in hospital, then for eight months of intensive outpatient.
