This is just a guess, but it simulates working in a collaborative environment instead of alone, which can be very draining depending on one's personality. The drain may be an unaccounted for drain on their social battery if they previously saved that for outside of work.

I lived in a city where one HS was already doing this by sending trans and visibly queer youth to the alternative school. The other HS had a normal one without any issues and would have graduated 7 trans students in 2020, but that year was a dumpster fire, so not sure what actually happened.

I guess being able to take journalism too was a reason.

About 20% of the country is being hunted by their own government.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

That sounds great. Is there anything the administration can do to get ICE out of Washington or hassle them in a meaningful way while they're here? Get them off the streets? Prevent something like this from happening here?

I had already forgotten that Threads exists.

Same! This has generally not been my experience with Italian-Americans in my own life, who have generally been more conservative in all the ways Sinatra was not. I'm very surprised.

I was going to make the point about trans men too. Also, trans men receive less prenatal care so the odds must be a little higher.

Logically, the colors between 0 and 160 would be 40, 80, and 120, right?

It's Oklahoma. It's all part of a coordinated attack on LGBTQ+ people there.

The grad student lost her job because she's transgender.

For fun, I like to imagine how things like this would have landed ten years ago.

Well, if we get out of this, these well-documented statements should make the trials go faster.

My suspension of disbelief failed here too.

Thousands of Nazis killed themselves and their families at the end of the war. That had to have helped.

Maybe I'm taking this too seriously, but I think people who don't believe in the power of the written word are kinda doomed?

Rob Reiner made some great movies but he was also unafraid to speak the truth, and was one of the public voices who knew you don’t squander your platform, and only got louder about opposing evil fucks as he got older. Legend.
