Science-minded mom and grandma, with a couple of trans kids. Typos may be mine or autocorrect, you decide.

So surreal watching the car and motorcycle drive along all that fire.

My daughter FaceTimed me earlier today. My grandson was sad she wouldn’t turn on the TV. I had just picked up a book from a tiny library on a walk down the I read him the book. He was totally locked in and forgot all about the TV.

She lacks both the warmth and the depth.

So he’s going to stop football coaches from being the highest paid state employees. Because as fast as I know the athletes aren’t paid.

Quick reminder that vaccination is really about public health. It comes with the side effect of preventing disease in individuals. Too much focus on individuals is partly to blame for the anti-vax movement. People erroneously calculate risk to themselves and others.

Not just girls and women but also boys and men should be vaccinated because that’s who often gives it to girls and women.

Makes it clear to me that my kids can’t visit our family in Missouri.

She’s not even close to being a reliable D vote on anything.

New York City is a microcosm. I’m not sure how easily their success translates elsewhere.

I think they meant currently. Which I would totally believe.

Yeah. There’s been a big uptick is support since then but even 12 years ago people were more likely to act like you were setting you child up for pain and misery if you let them transition as if they weren’t already feeling pain and misery and that’s why you were doing it.

That’s what scares them so much. Acceptance and support means they might be forced to accept and support someone in their family. They would much rather push it all under the rug and pretend like it doesn’t make a difference.

I don’t have enough chill to be a member of congress. I can muster up patience for kids but adults lying to my face and evading the question makes my blood boil.

And asylum seekers too. It isn’t like they can just go back safely.

I just want to yell β€œanswer the fucking question” over and over.

Self deporting to CECOT?

The only thing better would be off her had thrown the word weird in there.

I’m not sure he’s cognizant of too much these days.

Thanks. It’s been 11 years so I’ve gotten it confirmed by him.

For sure. Asking was the scary part. I was so worried I’d put ideas on his head. Instead it gave him relief.

I hope they slam on the brakes and throw it into reverse.

Even McConnell has had things to say. And most of this shit is his fault.

That’s the only way many of them can find their spine. I guess they keep them by the exit door.

There’s someone really gross about trying to capitalize on someone’s misfortune. Especially with the caveat of supplies are limited.

To be fair, we first thought our trans son might be a lesbian. And when he was still distraught and self-harming we asked if he might actually be a boy underneath after his doctor asked if he had gender dysphoria. But for sure we were hoping lesbian, simply because it was easier in lots of ways.

That ship has already sailed. The administration is trying to figure out ways to stop GAC in blue states now. I’m not sure the political will is there to actually protect trans kids. Maybe if we could go back in time before oligarchs decided to attack trans kids we could have. But not now.

For sure. But they did all this tough guy WAR talk and now they don’t want to claim it.
