As Kagan notes in her dissent, the Court opted not to hear the due process parental rights argument against bans on gender-affirming medical care in Skrmetti, basically setting up a regime where parents can force their trans children back into the closet but cannot help them out of it

i love "discipline" as your word. it's one of my favs and always helps me bring myself (goals, worries, needs, etc.) into focus. 🫢🏻

she's a strange one, for sure. i've often thought she could benefit from a weighted vest because she ALWAYS moving. she only stops when she crashes. thenβ€”dead to the world.

she clearly missed the "cat nap" memo.

my other cat just WATCHES her and needs a nap afterward.

they're the same age. πŸ˜†

yes, she's a total mess. wave anything in front of her and she'll bite it (even me, and i'm her favourite!) 🀣

Still didn't apologize.

If I have a psychotic break and smash your windows, yes my mental condition can give context, but I still damaged your property.

Harm was still done.

It’s both #caturday and my 55th birthday, for which my daughter gifted me this awesome β€œAdopt Black Cats” t-shirt. πŸ˜¬πŸˆβ€β¬›

I have MCAS, the immunological condition, not the metabolic disorder MCAD.

Deleted my previous post because I mistyped MCAD when I meant MCAS. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is also sometimes referred to as Mast Cell Activation Disorder, but I avoid using MCAD so as to ensure it isn't mistaken for the rare metabolic disorder (Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency).

SHE’S FINISHED! My 5-foot-long Enterprise D oil painting is complete after nearly 100 hours of work!

I remember being 13 years old or so and trying to draw her and it was so hard, and all I wanted was to be able to do something like this. Truly a dream come true. πŸ₯°πŸ––

Public funding for journalism. Public funding for elections. Public funding for healthcare. Public funding for science research. Public funding for schools, parks, museums, libraries, universities.

We need to start using our tax dollars to make our lives better.

Photograph of a handcrafted satchel sitting on a stone surface in front of a wooden fence. The front body features a damask-like print of various helmets from STAR WARS. The rest of the bag is colour-blocked in coordinating colours of brown, grey, cream, and mustard, accented with black nickel hardware.

This is the second #StarWars themed satchel. I still need to attach the handles and sew up the crossbody strap, but I seriously love this one. Same pattern/theme as above, but a totally different vibe. 🫢🏻

Photo of an in-progress, mid-sized black and white satchel bag sitting atop a cut of lining fabric printed with the walls of the Death Star. The bag has all matte black hardware except for the strap connectors, which are nickel and shaped like Stormtrooper helmets.

β€œUntrained” offers legitimacy. It’s saying they’d be fine if they were better equipped, professionalized killers with same agenda.

i quote skeet with nothing if a) i want to pin it to my profile, or 2) some feeds specifically do not include reskeets; a lot of the ones i follow i never see reskeets unless their quoted (my mutuals feed is one of those), so if i want to make sure it's available to all feeds i will empty quote
