Yeah he has quite the history. Stealing a car, driving high, getting into a confrontation with a police officer that ends with him dead, then falsely accuses a man of rape and murder. Then gets a taste of his own medicine as others testify (falsely?) he was harrassing the victim before her murder.

With events like Cincinnati's, which was a rally and not a march, we had a section for organizations to have booths. Great opp to for people to join an organization or learn about what various non-profits are doing in the city on issues they care about. I had a lot of great conversations!

She did (seriously) claim Australia caused world war 3 a few years ago due to their covid practices, so I can see why they are upset. She loves to incite people on both sides.

I could not wait for the reveal at the end of the match. So fun!

Taylor Townsend is into the 4th round with a win against the 5th seed!! Love seeing moms on tour win. This has been the week of Taylor for sure. Now we just need boy Taylor to win his match 🙂 #UsOpen2025 #TaylorTownsend #WeekOfTaylor

This Townsend / Andreeva match is 🔥. Taylor is so fun to watch! #TaylorTownsend #UsOpen2025 #tennis #wta

Cool! What is the class topic, like is it some sort of political or current issues class?

My friend read the entire Harry Potter series despite not liking them- she gave them 2/5 stars on goodreads except for the 4th one, which she gave 3. I asked her why- she said she read them because they're a cultural phenomenon. I cannot imagine spending my precious free time on earth doing that!

I am not a fan of the Trump administration, but this seems hyperbolic. I went to the website and we still rank fairly high, and above all those countries listed in the caption, so that was misleading.

The new gender testing is more for males who are competing in womens sports who have disorders of sexual development and incorrectly assigned female at birth. Many males with 5-ARD have competed in the Olympics and won medals. It isn't really about transgender athletes.

The Cincy crew (not pictured: Joy driving) is on our way to Washington DC to lobby Congress on clean energy and climate change action. Love Citizens Climate Lobby but I hope someday soon I don't feel the need to make this trip. #CCL2025 #GrassrootsClimate #CleanEnergy

Yeah UConn "continues to win" as well. Except that time they had to reschedule a game due to lack of healthy players 😆

Well, they won when expected, so that's all they can do. UConn had a ton of injuries the last couple of years, so they're no stranger to being in that position. Nice to see them pretty healthy this year.

I really hope they can get a win for Paige's last year!

And likely the babysitter, too!

I mean look at how hardcore sporting orgs are about drug testing and banning those for doping the smallest amount. Just imagine being Melissa Bishop and training your butt off just to get 4th place at the Rio Olympics to at least one but likely three males on the podium. I'd be pissed!

Perhaps I worded that poorly. As an example, Caster Semenya was incorrectly assigned female at birth due to having 5-alpha reductase deficiency (5-ARD)

Females have turner, males have klinefelter. I don't think there's any dispute about that.

Because women would no longer get to play and we'd be back on the 1950s. Besides, the male competition is the best athletes, when it comes to the Olympic and pro levels. So you are getting that.

I don't see why this should not be a priority for World Athletics given the number of males that have competed in the women's category with DSDs.

This rule isn't really about trans people, hopefully you can find an article about it that isn't paywalled. It's more about males with disorders of sexual development who incorrectly believe they're female. There's more of them than you think in top levels of women's sports like track

Can you give an example?

Actually it looks like this is being done more for the complications from disorders of sexual development like 5-ARD that cause some males to be incorrectly labeled female at birth. Then they go through male puberty and do very well at sports, like Caster Semenya. She has XY chromosomes

It's a dna test though a cheek swab, not a genital inspection

They probably don't need to do it as often? DNA doesn't change 🙂

That Al Gore book in the background has got to be a sign, right? I watched the video on her scotus Instagram to fact check. Please tell me the VP's wife cares about climate change!

It was a really nice meeting!

I've seen Skylines all over Ohio- Columbus, Lima, Cleveland. They're in Florida as well. And of course Indiana has some. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

Tbf preschool and daycare employees at churches are not always members of the church. It varies.

That's a little extreme. I think she knows just because I don't follow her modesty rules that doesn't make me a slut. But according to her religion, I am dressing immodestly most of the time.
