I got a new glove for softball today! I used a 30-year-old Kirby Puckett signature model I inherited from my dad for the spring/summer season but I want to permanently retire it before the fall season next week. Time to break this thing in over the next few days!

My endocrinologist is kind of a legend, and it's amazing that I got in as a patient as quickly as I did back in 2023, but gods DAMN his available is fuckin' stupid and I'm so tired of dealing with scheduling problems exacerbated my brain being a dirty old tire. But, on Friday I see a new endo!

Every dollar billionaire JK Rowling makes is a dollar she will spend on destroying the lives of trans people - a scapegoating driven by Epstein-class billionaires to distract us from the ultra-rich draining our wealth, killing our planet, sabotaging social cohesion, and destroying dissent.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

JK Rowling has said, more than once, publicly that people consuming Harry Potter means they support her. And her transphobia. She uses her vast wealth to do very real world harms to trans people, and in particular...trans women. There is no ethical consumption. None. It's that easy.
