Gotta play some blues on that one

Just saw this after I posted mine! Great minds

Is RFK a mitichondriac?

Youth anti-trans legal risk assessment map From Carla Lewis: this breaks my heart. there are now only FIVE safe states with strong protections for trans youth: new mexico, minnesota, vermont, hawaii, and massachusetts. if cis people don’t start fighting hard for trans youth, then soon there will be no safe states. an entire generation is going to suffer needlessly

This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
3 days. Americans could bring this administration and the government to a screeching halt if at least 15 million would just strike for 3 days in a row.

Is there anyone who knows the folk music degree at Newcastle? I know a thoroughly folky 21 year old who has 3 A levels but not in music. Experienced singer and songwriter, decent guitarist, great trad repertoire. Very keen to apply but not sure that they would qualify for an offer.

Our first new resource is posted today!

These two guides address common misinformation and misconceptions around European trans health care policy and how it compares to U.S. regulations.

Some good raunchy songs about millers from the 15th century

Oh not much, just a quick peek at a few diagrams in a 13th c. copy of Joannes de Sacro Bosco's influential pre-Copernican astronomical text Tractatus de sphaera (On the Sphere of the World) (UPenn LJS 26) #medievalsky

How my local action turned into a national movement creating safe spaces for Trans+ people Thinking globally, but acting locally sparked a movement, that has ultimately spread the Safe Space initiative nationwide

"This movement is more than just social media posts, and it’s an example of how our response to the ruling is a litmus test for the LGBTQIA+ community’s resilience and solidarity."

Folks starting or early in their journey learning French, it might be fun to learn poems by heart or practice reading them out loud.

Jacques Prévert's poems are known for brevity, simplicity, and emotional depth.

A sci-fi bookstore owner once, after calling me a "Dick Head", told me that reading Dick was more like entering a continuous state of mind than reading separate novels.

U went straight to the deep water!

Missing Helen and want to give this a boost. It’s so close to the goal. Let’s get it the rest of the way: www.gofundme.com/f/support-he...

coincidentally my historical research today led me to this, from 1970

A powerful story of heartbreak and courage…

“I was ready to spend the rest of my life living in my house in Maine. … I started to feel that we were genuinely unsafe. If you have a trans kid, you can see this shit coming from a mile away.”

Ceding rights does not work as a strategy and it necessarily means sacrificing the lives of Americans as well, lives like J.J. and their mom.

If we still wonder how the Holocaust could have happened, that is how.

Stop, dig in and defend the rights of all Americans. There will no other chance.

Emboldened by one victory they move to their next targets: Black ppl, Brown ppl, immigrants. After eradicating medical science and the rule of law, they are taking aim at the constitution itself and what it ensures: free speech, due process and a free press

You cannot trade in one human right in hopes of preserving others. That’s never how it works.

Authoritarians, driven by bigotry hate, will never be satisfied. These radical right wingers are already moving to abolish abortion rights, gay marriage and gay adoption, and to revive conversion therapy

From me:
For all those folks who see trans kids and their families as political chits whose rights can be traded in, I have one word: Stop.

The Attack on Transgender Kids Isn’t Just Cruel. It’s an Omen. The Trump administration is showing how easily it can target any health practice it opposes.

Healthcare centers are ending their gender-affirming care services for youth as a result of Trump's cruel intimidation tactics. It's a sign that all healthcare is in jeopardy, while Trump's in office. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

One of the reasons I love that one so much is because it almost doesn’t sound like a parody. And if you told me it wasn’t, I would believe you.
