i grew up in a "racially isolated" town in Tennessee, where i knew one Chinese kid, three Black kids, and more Hispanic kids (mostly Mexican and Guatemalan, as far as i can remember) than i could count. they are a huge and vibrant part of Tennessee's culture.

i wonder how all the church folks are gonna feel when they can't go to their favorite Mexican restaurant after Sunday worship because they've put all the owners and workers in a concentration camp. also Marsha Blackburn is a horse torture advocate and responsible for the heroin epidemic in TN.

Every news story is now β€œState Senator Randy Pervert (R-Springfield) was indicted on 8 counts of lewd behavior with a child under 12 and has been put on paid leave from his two jobs as Border Patrol liaison and youth pastor at First Presbyterian (PCA) where parishioners say they were β€˜blindsided.’”

so happy for you ❀️ really hope it all continues to improve. finding something that helped with my pain and mobility was like, one of the greatest moments of the last ten years of my life, honestly.

I'm in support of secure borders... but why do we need to deport the people working 80 hours a week on unlivable wages that completely prop up our destitute, collapsing economy? What gives?!

University of Utah Healthcare Abandons Trans Kids as Utah Legislature’s Bigotry Intensifies β€” Assigned The University of Utah fully discontinues providing gender affirming care for trans youth in advance of a state bill banning the practice, despite a review commisioned by the state supporting that ver...

β€œThe systems are failing you, not because you are wrong, but because you exist in a world still catching up to your truth.”

The words therapist Joselyn Romero uses to explain to trans youth in Utah why they're losing gender-affirming care.

One of my theories about older women and transphobia is that they have come to realise how they complied with the patriarchy through their best years and now regret their lack of hedonism in their youth. Fighting the real enemy is too hard, so they hate anyone who has said fuck it to the rules.

It's been four months since Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza. I caught up with Ahmed, a 28 year-old Palestinian, who shares what life's been like for him since.

they are actively using against us the fact that we are good, caring people. it defies belief. no matter how monstrous you think these people are, they keep finding ways to outdo themselves.

noise is something i have noticed more and more as i get older. like i'm replaying Fallout 3 right now and every time i enter an underground structure and my extremely bassy, very nice headset is hammering me with this "underground noise" they put in it genuinely makes me uncomfortable.

Fed Intervenes in Allegations Against Trans Student Athlete β€” Assigned Allegations of sexual misconduct against a trans student athlete, and a potential failure in mandatory reporting, have ballooned into a federal investigation, despite lack of evidence.

A trans athlete is facing accusations of rape for competing in a wrestling match against a cis girl, and I am very tired.

Update: NYU Langone to End Gender-Affirming Hormone Treatment for New and Existing Patients Under 18 β€” Assigned With the future of care up in the air, parents prepare to uproot, and recusant activists prepare to push back, sources tell Assigned Media.

NYU Langone cuts off trans youth from treatment in the latest of a series of decisions by hospitals to abandon patients in need under pressure from Trump and the anti-trans right.

Only on Assigned: Lana Leonard spoke with families whose childrens' treatments were cut off.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but my own "gender identity" skews more towards NBi than binary, and the last thing I want is for Assigned to make people who are ostensibly like me feel like we don't have their backs or love them. I know that wasn't the intent, even if it may have been the end result.
