Why do so many transformative justice orgs (GenerationFIVE, BATJC, Project NIA, Philly Stands Up, Incite!) no longer exist?
It's been 20yrs since some of these were around, which kinda explains it. But it doesn't seem like these niches have been filled, and I do get why, but...
This is a democratic wedding. The guests will vote on who the wife should be
Appointment scheduling form from quest diagnostics text says "who's visiting?" And on the next line, "information about the person being tested." A text form for First Name is filled out as Noah. "The question for sex allows male and female, but when you press information it says this selection sets. The reference range shared for test ranges with sex-specific ranges. If you identify as nonbinary, select the option you feel most comfortable with. Consult your doctor when interpreting results" Gender identity is a separate question and also selected as male.
I don't know who told Quest Diagnostic about the social construction of sex, but I'm glad they did I guess?
I can't think of another healthcare organization that does this but I also have a really bad memory so who can say
Thank you to all who heard our concerns, tried to improve the bill, and ultimately STOPPED the unfixable WA HB 2526. Here’s what survivors need instead:

my favorite self-care ritual is repeating “I am not evil” in the mirror 100 times every morning and night
can't wait to spend saturday with a (sincere) critique of the couple form, like I usually post on valentine's day when I don't have a boyfriend
This document appears to have been removed from the Epstein records. I wonder why. Did Woody Allen complain?
listen she just cares about protecting women
If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help.
The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later:

Both individuals and orgs are encouraged to sign! As NSU, we esp. want signatures from harm reduction, drug policy, etc. groups
As Noah, I'd love a signature from your DSA chapter. Or your Abolition WG, SocFem WG, etc. And/or share this post!
My comrades and I @ the NSU SWer Call put together this open letter against the still-carceral policies promoted in lieu of real sw decrim.
You may see these called End Demand or the "Equality Model". In reality, this model is not only inequitable, but actively anti-equity.
Ooooh yeah seems like the ideal starting point, thank you!
Any texts on the relationship (or lack thereof) between mad pride/mad liberation movements and neurodiversity/ autistic self-advocacy movements? Asking for a me

i love reading first hand accounts of old timey people encountering animals for the first time
They definitely meant the first RFK but I did a doubletake too
Liberals dismiss antifa as just an idea — instead of acting to defend the activists, researchers, and organizers facing persecution.
if Dave Chappelle is such a brave truth teller that he can't help punching down on trans people, am looking forward to him making jokes about dismembering journalists right to MBS's face
Sarah Decker, staff attorney at RFK Human Rights, told Newsweek that [Asst Warden] Reyes targeted trans men & masc presenting LGBTQ+ people.
"If someone complained about abusive conditions, the response was always 'If you wanna be a man, I'll treat you like a man'"

A photograph of David Graeber carrying a bag on the subway. The bag reads "This bag contains a bomb, a gun, a very large knife, and loads of drugs."
Today, we are remembering David Graeber, who passed away five years ago.
“Nothing could conceivably be more violent than to tell us—and particularly our young people—we are forbidden to even dream of a peaceful, caring, world.”

If you’re looking to update your U.S. passport to accurately reflect your gender, the window may soon be closing. For many, an accurate passport is more than just a confirmation of identity, it’s necessary to travel safely.
On this fine morning I think its time to bring up the insane time last year I confronted the grandchild of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, Kai Höss, about becoming a Christian Evangelical antisemite. This story is somehow even more twisted than it seems & I'll write an "off topic" piece sometime
This is an incredible and thorough resource, thank you @thetransfemininereview.com! Desperately infuriating that we need it.

Out of 232 datasets, 106 switched the term “gender” to “sex.” Four files replaced the phrase “social determinants of health” with “non‑medical factors”...and [one] clinical trial listing rewrote its title so that “gender diverse” became “include men and women.”
