1. New federal rules were released last week banning gender affirming care for youth at hospitals nationwide.

Those rules don't go into effect until public comment, months from now.

But it appears Sec. Kennedy is using an arcane process to try to implement them immediately.

Our latest story.
HHS Sec. Kennedy Attempts To Stop Trans Youth Care In Hospitals Nationwide—Before New Federal Rules Take Effect
Like many of the Trump regime’s attempted powergrabs, this kind of piecemeal and disheveled rulemaking is enforced at least in part by fear and sheer uncertainty.

Trump has ordered a naval blockade of Venezuela, which is an act of war.

Literally will go to war to protect pedophiles.

I love PC gaming. Always have, probably always will. I will go to my grave making excuses for PC gaming.

I just,

It's time for us to be able to connect a controller with the game already running and have that work.

@gooseworx.bsky.social question about production for animated works. So, I've seen one of your animators posting videos of stuff they worked on and they're all super duper cool. But it made me wonder. How is work divided up between animators? What decides who makes what scenes?

Good.
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.

I resent the imposition of USB-C connectors. My dislike comes from my ability to almost always get a USB plug around the right way first time. In fact, more than 4/5 times. I have now lost one of the things I excelled in and that makes me grumpy.

I hold this candle, listening to members of my community share their stories, and I sharing my own. I felt overwhelmed by emotions. A genuine love and comfort for my found community. Friends who cherish and support me for who I am. And a Far willing to listen, let me hold space, and ask questions.

It's being reported that New Zealand has banned puberty blockers for transgender youth. I removed New Zealand from my recommendations to families fleeing a while back after the far right saw a surge in power in the country.

Sad day for NZ trans youth.

@w0lfertinger666.bsky.social other than here. Do you have like a continuum of your comics in an order I could look at them? I saw one of yours recently and it clicked with me in a way that makes me want to see more of your work beyond scrolling around for little bits and pieces.

@azulcrescent.bsky.social is your hair dyed like your comic character for real? What's that style called? It's so cute and I've been wanting to dye my hair for a while now.

I'm just so afraid of my naturally blonde hair never looking the same after >~<

Good article. We have reported about "Gender Exploratory Therapy" at EITM for years now - it's a subversive practice akin to "crisis pregnancy centers" that seeks to delay transition until the person gives up on being trans - they will NEVER let the trans teen transition.
Conversion therapy is quietly rebranding — and targeting trans youths
As political attacks on gender-affirming care escalate, parents and experts fear a resurgence of discredited “therapies” that seek to change transgender children’s identities.

1. In a devastating decision for trans kids in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, the 6th Circuit has ruled students can bully trans kids by repeatedly misgendering them.

Trans kids also are not allowed to return the favor to their bullies.
