So they can continue their human trafficking? Is this really who we are?

Happy international women’s day, friends!

We need more of this sort of activism!

Here’s the next level of depravity - canceling transition programs for disabled high schoolers.

I have used data from the Household Pulse Survey (fielded by the US Census) over the past few years to study the differences in trans and cis outcomes. In July 2021, they added gender id questions that made those comparisons possible. Those data sets are gone. www.census.gov/programs-sur...

Sitting at the emergency vet on a Sunday - good times. Hoping this is not a recurrence of bladder stones

The cause, for sure. Now I want to listen to some Dead.

Good reminder - maybe it’s time to get back to practicing yoga to soothe the constant tension.

That’s disappointing to hear. I have been using some basic data from the site, like bills per session per state, in papers for methodology courses I have taken over the last 2 years.

It’s Girl Scout cookie time, and @erininthemorning.com has made it easy to find a trans Scout to support. If you want to avoid the shipping costs, you can choose to donate them on the order page…and then you can also support a local Scout for your cookie fix!

I’m so happy to see you here! 🩷

I made the switch to StoryGraph a few months ago. It was very easy to import my Goodreads data and I love it so far.

Seriously, the pearl clutching is over the top.

Agreed - she is one of the worst

Same, and now what to use as a starting word?!

My (adoptive) dad had FTD. As the only sibling who lived in the same state, care decisions fell mostly on my brother. This is a great article with a lot of hope for future treatments.

Went to Goosemas last weekend and now all I want to do is travel to shows. Can I get a PhD in Gooseology instead of Sociology?
