This is mostly true, but I do quote "somehow, Palpatine returned" all the time

Make no mistake, this remains catastrophic.

It makes it near impossible for people to stay and work in the US, no matter how qualified they are, unless they work for a handful of extremely wealthy companies.

For so many of us, it’s time to make other plans.

The protests yesterday reminded me of this movement. Seeing the recent corruption feels like a repeat of history.

If you are in the Philippines, know that I am thinking of you. If you're taking part in the protests, know I am proud of you and wish for you and your loved ones to be safe. Ingat ka.

The protests took place yesterday, which was also the anniversary of declaration of martial law by Ferdinand Marcos, who is the father of the current president. He was known to also take tax payers money to fund his family's lifestyle. He was forced out in 1986 by the People Power Revolution.

7/ If you’re under 65 and not high risk, the window to get a Covid-19 vaccine is right now—before the FDA label changes. Once it happens, access will be limited immediately (if it isn’t already). CVS is no longer booking appointments. As far as we know, Walgreens and local pharmacies still are.

Your footnote of "if you're a woman, you have XX chromosomes, and if you're a man, you have XY chromosomes" is inaccurate. Things are not so clear-cut and representing them as such perpetuates misinformation and does a disservice to our trans colleagues and trans people in general.
