I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

This one time my mate and I went to Deadpool: Wolverine and a couple and another dude had a baby with them and were playing videos on a phone for them, just using the speaker, no headphones. I told them to knock it off and the dude physically fought me, like stuff in the theater got broke.

This appears to be a very important work for what it is revealing, but also to return long COVID to the forefront of medical and psychological assessment and treatment. After the past few years, long COVID seems to have drifted away from diagnostic algorithms. Thank you for posting.

If I had exposed a trans woman to international transphobic media attention, I'd probably have started with apologizing to her.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

Bestie. That's how these people work. And when you disparage a marginalized person when they point out that you're doing something that is harmful, people will see your actions as transphobic. Transphobes will see you as one of them. It's too bad you couldn't simply acknowledge the harm you caused.

It's now been over a month since the Trump regime openly declared they intend to eliminate trans people from the United States and not a single Democrat or mainstream media figure or celebrity has cared enough to even mention it.

OMG!!! If this wasn't so damn painful I would be #rotflmao

So much gratitude to the organizers still pushing back on the concentration camp/warehouses.

see the thing is i don’t think he is transphobic, i think he is one of a billion white guys averse to being asked to do anything

Reminder to everyone, especially in LA, that jury nullification exists for a very good reason.

We're never going to get anywhere close to family policing abolition if people can't get off of this idea that "this could have been prevented" in cases where there's nothing actually indicating that. Do the math: what you're actually saying is we take children from everyone who is imperfect. 1/

i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

Hundreds of sports leagues and hospitals and universities have banned trans people and the national response is... "oh well". The Trump regime is openly saying they're going to eliminate us and the country just... collectively shrugs.

A Democrat saying "Black people shouldn't have healthcare" or "Jews aren't biological people" or "immigrants shouldn't be allowed to play sports" would be ostracized and condemned from coast to coast, so why should we accept these repulsive beliefs when it comes to trans people?

Tell me about a BIPOC children's educator who is doing amazing advocacy work that we can lift up in addition to @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social! (Which she would unquestionably tell us to do!) My first one is without a doubt @heymrsbond.com! Who is yours? And let's give these folks a follow!

As bell hooks said, “Readers forget that one can critique yet still admire.”

The agencies and physicians don't believe it's a service disabled people of all ages are entitled to and lecture especially female-presenting parents "well that's just parenting" (in reference to teens who don't travel alone, need constant supervision at home, need assistance with tasks). 2/2

I had a health official in Massachusetts tell me he thinks one reason Republicans are attacking services like this is that they fundamentally believe caregiving should be done unpaid by women. It was really a light bulb moment for me about the intersection of their ableism, eugenics, and misogyny.

Local folks: This looks really great

Last place I had an anesthesia procedure: Did questionnaire thing in portal, provider's office messaged some clarifications. This place: Did questionnaire thing. Does a scheduled call to ask exact same questions. Nurse isn't from provider's office and any "yes" answers have to go to them anyway.
