My previous lead fell through, so...

Does anyone in Western Washington have an electric piano with weighted keys that they no longer use and would be willing to give away?

I have a ten year old ADHD kid whose heart is set on one for Christmas but it's not in our budget this year.

I've said this before and I'll say it again: Democrats can't hold official committee hearings, but they absolutely can gather in a room and invite people to answer questions and stream it live and invite the press to cover it.

Not gonna lie lads, it’s fucking bleak over here.

Trans people can’t fight this on their own, cis women need to start leaving and boycotting these organisations that exclude trans women.

I go where my trans partner goes, if she can’t go I don’t go. We all have to do this.

Rumi from KPop Demon Hunters: "I'm glad to see it destroyed."

"But if we fight back against the eradication of trans people, we'll be destroyed too!"

If your organization can't survive without the elimination of a minority, then

What if men don't want to protect anyone? (And presumably, they're protecting women from other men). What if men want to create art?

What if men don't want to provide? What if they want to be in an equal partnership? Or be supported when they're unwell?

Problem? I think you forgot the "s"😁

Believe the science?

We Are Nothing Like the Gestapo.

Fuck you if you support him.

It’s just going to be wide open, unapologetic bigotry from here on out.

I’m honored to display a small piece of the AIDS Quilt in my office.

Now is the time for America to fulfill its commitment to ending the HIV epidemic, not for the Trump administration to abandon our leadership and put peoples’ lives at risk. #SaveHIVFunding

Thanks to Kia for sponsoring this! As a very soon to be Kia owner, it's nice to know they care about defense!

My great-uncle was born in the Russian Empire and wrote God Bless America

Glad to hear it! Hope they get built soon!

Or better yet, invest in solar there. Utah is a perfect place for it!

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Is salt actually bad for us and if so, why is there still a debate? This week we’ll figure out what salt actually does in our bodies and how it might impact our health. If you’ve ever wondered how we’ve arrived at the maximum daily sodium intake and why salt impacts blood pressure, tune in!

There’s something asymptotic about the last few weeks of pregnancy. You know it’s coming but you still can’t believe it’ll ever come. I wrote this in a fever-haze in week 40, and now it’s in the New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/humor/shouts...

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

Melissa was part of the “Be Here for the Cure” campaign in 1993. She was 21 yo. She’s still here, more than three decades later. Sometimes, when the present makes me sad or scared, I think about the courage that those young people had to stand up and fight — for their lives — against the stigma.

White background, red ribbon. Text says “World AIDS Day”.

My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

Congrats!

Saying you don't remember which part of your body the MRI was for is a pretty clear indication of what body part it was for.

OU puts graduate instructor on leave after student claims discrimination on Bible-based essay grade OU placed a graduate student instructor on leave after a student publicly contested a grade and filed an illegal discrimination claim after she received a failing grade on an essay

Oh, the instructor who was fired for giving an F to a Trumpist loser for citing the Bible in a scientific paper is *trans*? It's almost like we're being eliminated from society one by one or something.

Same with my depression meds! Not as controlled, but when I'm in the throes of a depressive episode, do I really want to argue with insurance? Do I really want to navigate a bad website?
