If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

A sneak peek of a cross stitch pattern of a bookmark. Large blue ribbons with silver star details cover a bookmark strategically.  You can see the top of a crowned head with cute eyes peeking.

First Panel: In a cave, an orange creature sleeps in a bed with a mushroom as a pillow. There is a large window in the cave wall.

Second Panel: The same view as the first panel, but now a large Dino-Bird creature is peeking in through the window.

Third Panel: The Dino-Bird sticks its head through the window and goes "BAWK!", waking the orange creature.

Fourth Panel: the Dino-Bird exits and the now awake Orange Creature scowls.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

The thing about living in a human society is you either decide that everyone (except those for whom it would be medically dangerous) has to take VACCINES into their bodies or everyone (with no exceptions at all) has to take VIRULENT PATHOGENS in from those around them and, look, the first is better.

It doesn’t matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms.

It doesn’t matter if you lift every day, bro.

It doesn’t matter how many supplements you consume.

When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.

Dear Americans who voted for Trump and the Republican Congress,

When your insurance won’t pay for cancer screenings anymore;

When the only medical center in a 50-mile radius of you closes;

When your child gets polio;

This is what you voted for.

You know how those of us who've been covering and talking about and shouting about book bans for over 4 years now have talked about how vital it is to show up to school board meetings and library board meetings? How necessary it is to vote down ballot? How change happens by "being political?"
