While many of our #AB southbound migrants use stopovers in rural areas, hummingbirds as always are different. Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are at their western limit in my backyard - but they visit every August on their wintery way south. #birds

We let them have the run of (most) of the house for the weekend, and they are somewhat confused by the changes. Gerald has a perfect WTF? expression on his face.

we are a trans-led organisation distributing accessible toilet keys in the UK to help people evade trouble when using gendered facilities following the latest news. We have seen a massive uptick in applications in the last 48 hours.

If any more politicians talk about a ‘ceasefire’ I’m going to scream. This isn’t a fight between two armies, it’s a genocide.

The Venn diagram of people upset about the refusal to sell pierogis to A.D. and the people who say LGBTQ folks should just go somewhere else if a business discriminates against them is a perfect circle.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class. 

You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

One of the first things you learn about trans competent primary care is how many of us routinely develop PVD, UTIs, and kidney stones from avoiding or not having access to bathrooms. As a fun bonus, the disinfo machine then uses this high prevalence to make mendacious claims about HRT.

This is how it was for me as a pre-op. I couldn't eat or drink anything when at work for about 8 months until my surgery. Then I came back and told them "now I can use the bathroom...." and they said, "we'll discuss it." I said, "it's not a question. ;)"

So Ken Paxton has now got a judge to enjoin Beto from fundraising for the quorum breaking TX Dems ! Ken Paxton should have been disbarred years ago. He has become emboldened. He literally is now suppressing political speech. Texas has become a totalitarian state

Tomorrow morning I offer my thoughts on the 60th anniversary of the passage of the Voting Rights Act. I explain how it went from it being a law celebrated by both parties to something the GOP wants killed--and why SCOTUS may grant their wish.

Trans Women Are Biological Women And Other Unexpected Consequences Of The UK Supreme Court’s Ruling On “Biological Sex”

Thank you for signing that letter. It's pretty good.

The Supreme Court's decision was incomprehensible. There was no right of reply for trans women or lesbians finding themselves "redefined" and they gave no accounting as to why not.

Errors in the judgment:
