U.S. court allows state bans on gender-affirming care for adults in unprecedented ruling While bans on trans youth’s care have been numerous in recent years, this is the first to restrict care for transgender adults.

NEWS: It was never about the children.

Transgender adults now face care restrictions after the ruling of the federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia.

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

See the problem here?

Hoping that another useless war can also help people come to grips with the idea that poor Kids of Color should not be forced into the military to pay for college or to get discipline or for any reason. Especially now that masks have come off & nazis and white supremacists are running the military

I'm aware @officialgrammarly.bsky.social has said people can opt out of this, THAT IS ALSO ENRAGING. LLMs have already coopted and stole and plundered creative people's work, now we also have to contact YOU after you steal our identities? Fuck all the way off with that! It's MORE THEFT YOU CLOWNS

Sometimes I think about the frybread I had at this one restaurant in New Mexico, and I wonder about driving there to get some more.

Sure, gas is expensive now...but good frybread is good frybread.

(Only an 11 hour drive!)

But never forget that a lot of people didn’t think it was an issue yet because they started by being anti DEI

and well really they were tired of woke so they just wanted to wait til that got cleared first

This is Summit. He is a friend to pretty much everyone he meets. But has a special soft spot for the little critters who stop long enough for him to say hello. 13/10 (IG: bakerbarnes)

The thing that drives me nuts about people who talk about Platner being "deserving of redemption" is that Platner has never really acknowledged what he did wrong in the first place. Paths to forgiveness and redemption can and should exist. But like, you have to earnestly get that you messed up.

You are loved.
You belong here.
You are beautiful.
Don’t give up.
Don’t change for any but yourself.
Don’t lose yourself.

Lemme tell you something. . .

If what you're selling is the idea that people who voted for Trump didn't know exactly what they voted for?

I'm not buying.

Photo of a kid on a banana seat bike with a tall sissy bar and a crazily long brake cable. In the upper left there's an upper- and lower-case "G" and at the bottom it says, "G is for groovy."

Octavia E. Butler said, β€œThese novels are not prophetic. These novels are cautionary tales… The problems that I write about are problems that we can do something about. That's why I write about them.”

And β€œI hope they're not prophecy because I don't want to live in that world.”

β€œY’all, it’s a lot.”

Can’t wait for @txfreedomread.bsky.social to drop some bombshells. Who could have predicted SB13 would result in good books being banned?
Oh that’s right, we advocates did. Multiple times.

Who would have guessed that the legal system in America was so fragile that a single crazy president could ignore the whole thing, from the Constitution right down to state laws?
Why does the Supreme Court and Congress let this demented moron act like the dictator of a banana republic?
