A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

Thank you, pocket friends, for donating so generously. This fund still needs to raise over $6000 but we got them a lot closer to their goal!

Book Bans ‘Kill Creativity,’ Sow Self-Doubt in Authors For the past few years, author Charlotte Sullivan Wild has been working on a picture book about an LGBTQ+ family who learns to cope with one member’s deployment to the military. The story is inspired…

As hard as we are fighting, book bans are having an impact on the books being written and published. To put this another way, a very small number of well-funded people who don't write books, don't teach books, don't work in libraries are trying to decide what books are available for everyone else

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Being able to drive as ourselves and use the correct bathroom are essential to basic everyday life — they aren't privileges afforded to only people who aren't transgender.

if you've read IT HAD TO BE HIM you might remember the train station scene and if you want to know about ~Noah's Research~ I wrote a little bone-us scene about it for my patreon

ACLU sues to block Kansas anti-transgender bathroom and ID law: ‘Cruel and horrifying’ Kansas this week invalidated the IDs of transgender Kansans who changed the gender marker on their driver’s licenses or birth certificates. The ACLU is suing to stop the law, which also restricts bathroom use, saying it violates the constitutional rights of residents.

NEW: The American Civil Liberties Union has sued to block a new Kansas law that invalidated the drivers’ licenses and birth certificates of transgender residents. The suit was filed on behalf of two transgender men who live in Lawrence, Kansas.

Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social heroes @beccacoffindaffer.bsky.social and Ed Underhill, we have some slides that can be shared by anyone about this, with particular reps to target. Let's kill this bill in committee.

It's time.

Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food.

Let's change that.

hmm you might have you check your capture settings???

oh weird!! On mine if I hold it down for like 3-5 seconds it'll start recording (and retroactively record the last 15 seconds or so)

the bad thing about The Pitt airing at 8pm (central) is that i watch it at like 8:30 usually which means I finish at 9:30 which is bedtime BUT i also...want to watch it again

if you hold down the \|/ button it will record video!
