July is disability pride month. Right now in the US, along with many other things, disability services and health care are under attack. Please take the month of July to educate yourself on what it is like for people who live with disability and uplift disabled stories.

- The Final Strife is a fantasy with a trans and disabled main character.
- Stag Dance is a recent purchase I am looking forward to reading.
- Docile — trans rep and an anti capitalism. What more could you want?
- Nevada is a classic book about the trans experience.

The trailer for The Long Walk came out, and I am so f*cking excited. It looks like it has been made with love and care for the original material. Hopefully my favorite book is done justice. What did you think?

4.25/5
The religious aspect of The Unworthy was both horrifying and intriguing. Bazterrica did an excellent job of mixing Catholic and new-age spiritual ideals into something incredibly sinister. There is an overwhelming feeling of rot and decay with interspersed moments of light and beauty.

The Long Walk remains my favorite book of all time for many reasons but Garraty and McVries’ relationship is a huge one. I am looking forward to the movie release, but am concerned about how their relationship will be portrayed. Still, I’m holding out hope.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...

But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?
1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

Absolutely still not happy about the lack of hate crimes, but we have been calling for the addition of First Degree murder.

We continue to follow the case along with all of the transgender community.

Sam will be remembered.

Voted for Trump, now have buyer’s remorse? The Trump philosophy seems to be his version of FAFO. Don’t buy anything on the 28th unless you absolutely have to.

Medicaid is a lifeline for people with disabilities and seniors, yet Congress is getting ready to cut billions of dollars in Medicaid funding.

If these cuts are approved, millions of people will lose access to crucial care.

Congress is gearing up to cut hundreds of billions in funding for Medicaid. It’s happening right under our noses, and our rights depend on our ability to stop it.
