This heat wave is absolutely bone crushing. I'm so glad I installed central air two years ago.

But if you're without AC, or you're dealing with a heat wave for the first time because it's reaching areas that don't historically get this hot, here are a few tips from my years of poverty in a desert:

Tom Stevenson | Operation Rising Lion Israel’s codename for its attack on Iran, launched last Friday, was Operation Rising Lion, a pointed reference to...

‘The US and Israeli governments have presented the offensive as a pre-emptive effort to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, but that justification is laughable. Israel, on the other hand, has hundreds of undeclared nuclear weapons.’

Court’s Ruling in Skrmetti Threatens All Care That’s Politically Contested — Assigned An anti-trans, anti-science decision relies on a history of discrimination against women, and opens the door to challenges on care like vaccines.

The decision in Skrmetti lets politicians create their own evidence to justify banning necessary healthcare.

It's bad, writes @evanurquhart.bsky.social. Not just for trans people, but for anyone whose healthcare is or could potentially be politically contested.

Why These Trans Teens and Their Families Risked Everything to Get Gender-Affirming Care It’s as simple as love.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share.

These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

One of my old pieces (on vultures) got a new life with @nautil.us narrations.!

DOGE is eviscerating the federal workforce to pay for a tax bill which will benefit the wealthiest Americans, including Elon Musk.
Which agencies are laying off federal workers? Here's your master list, including the gutting of the Environmental Protection Agency.

Nobody voted for Elon Musk A self-interested, erratic megalomaniac has seized control of the US government.

"Nobody voted for Elon Musk. And nobody wants airplanes to fall out of the sky. But after Musk pushed out the head of the FAA and Donald Trump gutted the agency’s safety board, and Musk attempted to push air traffic controllers to quit, the worst domestic airline disaster since 2001 occurred."

Donald Trump’s Executive Orders Aim to Create Jim Crow for Trans People The Trump administration has dismissed public pleas for mercy for transgender youth and instead launched a full-scale attack against trans people.

Slate [Feb 2] -- Purpose of Trump multiple Executive Orders is to "create Jim Crow for trans people" by "fully disenfranchising them from society on a scale not seen since Jim Crow" (e.g., the legal racial caste system mostly in South from Civil War to 1960s).

as we approach tax season it would be nice to know if we still have a federal government

M23 is calling the shots After seizing Goma, can anyone stop the rebel militia from consolidating its control?

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.
