I have some unopened and expired vials of EV (Delestrogen 50mg/5ml exp. 1/26) I want to give to someone in need (at no cost). How would I go about doing that? I don't know any trans women here or anywhere.

I like how every time republicans or hard centerist dems try to attack Abdul El-Sayed it causes a whole slew of people to see him and realizing he’s smart, affable, and looks like he benches three plates.
Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social · yesterday“My guy wants to put a data center in your backyard either to give himself gender-affirming care and make a muscle video, or to portray me as a…hero?" Abdul El-Sayed reacts to Republican Mike Rogers' AI ad showing him, Mamdani, AOC, and Bernie as communists inside a Trojan Horse:
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time.

This is morally monstrous behavior. These are ordinary, innocent people that Trump is condemning to suffering & death out of political vindictiveness. Every decent human being, regardless of political party, should condemn it. Where is the fucking *anger*? From the press? From civic leaders? Pols?
FEMA said yes to Democratic disaster requests. Trump killed them anyway.
President Donald Trump cast aside bipartisan precedent when he rejected eligible disaster requests from four blue states.

Every day people show me antique photos of cats forced into costumes or wired into anthropomorphic positions, expecting me to be delighted. I know they mean well but I've seen them all and I hate them. I love cats. Seeing them uncomfortable and humiliated for human entertainment does nothing for me.

The SAVE America Act mandates that all voters must bring to the polls specifically a photo ID which has proof of citizenship “on the front of the document.” So REAL IDs don’t count. If the ID does not precisely conform to that standard, you must also bring separate proof of citizenship.

Yesterday ICE agents shot and killed Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a father, husband, and beloved neighbor who spent 35 years building a life in the U.S. Our hearts are heavy with grief for his family and all those suffering at the hands of ICE, CBP, and this administration's unrelenting cruelty.
