My state is the shape of a mitten and the region I am in is "The Thumb"... mostly just farms and summer cottages. They grow a lot of sugar beets and soybeans. It's starting to rain and we will probably get home a little damp. Worth it, right?

And this is why we came here. A quiet sandy beach, a warm day, a freshwater lake the size of a sea. Not bad. Time to go find a cheeseburger.

I hemmed and hawed car camping vs motocamping because my beaux and I would be riding for about an hour post sunset. But we took the bikes and now I'm having coffee next to my motorcycle. #motosky

Fucking it up again with the Canadian tariffs. Michigan is BFFs with Ontario and we shouldn't treat our neighbors with arbitrary economic penalties.

Clarence Thomas is not a biology expert Sex is bimodal - it's why intersex people exist Sex is mutable - it's why HRT works Transness is innate - it's why we have existed throughout human history and across cultures He and the court are the ones who lie

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

2 WEST VIRGINIA v. B. P. J. THOMAS, J., concurring judgment). Because “gender dysphoria” is a mutable men- tal state that is the object of psychiatric treatment, it does not resemble the immutable characteristics on the basis of which our precedents have applied heightened scrutiny— race, sex, or national origin. Instead, gender dysphoria re- sembles other characteristics on the basis of which legisla- tures may classify with a merely rational basis. See, e.g., Heller v. Doe, 509 U. S. 312, 321 (1993) (mental illness); Plyler v. Doe, 457 U. S. 202, 220 (1982) (immigration sta- tus). Legislatures have many obvious rational bases to keep men who believe that they are women out of teams and private spaces reserved for women. Second, as the Court recognizes, this case concerns “bio- logical men” and “boys who identify as girls.” Ante, at 10, 27. Men and boys with gender dysphoria are not women or girls, even if they believe that they are. Sex is an immuta- ble “biological” characteristic, see ante, at 10; it is binary; and “man” and “woman,” “boy” and “girl,” are the terms that correspond to adults and children of each sex. See A. Byrne, Are Women Adult Human Females? 177 Philosophical Studies 3783, 3786–3787 (2020). To use language to ob- scure reality—to show “indifference regarding the truth”— is to lie to the public and cease to treat our fellow citizens “as equal[s].” J. Pieper, Abuse of Language—Abuse of Power 17, 21 (1992).
