Some young guy hit on me yesterday, and when I rolled my eyes and revealed that I was 31, he said “wow you look great for your age.”
FOR YOUR AGE! 31!!!
I actually look tired and iron-deficient for my age. 31 is just not that old!!!
1. Yesterday, we broke the story that Kansas drivers licenses for transgender people were being immediately revoked by the state.
This morning, the ACLU filed suit in state court to block that process.
Thousands of trans Kansans watch with horror and hope.

Casey Means’ Surgeon General confirmation hearing is tomorrow.
Means holds a number of extremely disturbing views, including that hormonal birth control is “disrespect for life”.
She isn’t a “fringe” or “alternative” healthcare provider. She is a person who blithely ignores scientific facts.
One of my students is interested in reading books about dating while nonbinary! I don’t know of anything that is specific to TNB folks, so I wanted to ask if anyone here has any suggestions (other than general good dating advice books). Thanks in advance!

It’s fine if you don’t want to write out the whole APA reference while you’re citing it, but do please link out to the article you’re citing! “Peters et al., 2019” is actually not very helpful for finding the citation.
