The scene from the Boondocks where Huey, dead-eyed and tired with bags under his eyes asks Granddad: “Granddad, what do you do when you can't do nothing, but there's nothing you can do?”

Grandad: “You do what you can.”

More broadly though, the show is about "can you, a queer, forgive your weird, distant parent and make them learn to love you?" Which is kind of what Jesus is all about.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Fact Check: Trump's HHS Review On Trans Care Filled With Lies, Pseudoscience

The review, which was made possible by an executive order calling transgender healthcare "mutilation," reached its predetermined conclusion on its May 1st publication date.

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation. I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism. Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community. kettering.org/do-not-compl...

"It's only then you realize while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun."

Scene from X-Men 3:
Mutant: Nobody's talking about extermination!
Magneto: No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you.

Scary things that you may have recently read headlines about that it turned out you didn’t have to worry about include: microplastics in your brain, black plastic spatulas, intermittent fasting, and plant based meat alternatives. Also, no, you do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a month.

1. A transgender woman let legislators know she intended to use the bathroom in the Florida Capitol. A contingent of officers waited for her, and stood outside the door. When she stepped in, she was arrested and sent to a men's jail. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

hi, cis folks! if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status. ~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care. that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

We're a few days out from TDOV (Transgender Day of Visibility) but I'm going to beg all Community members and Allies to please not forget your nonbinary and gender nonconforming people are a part of that umbrella, that history, that fight for better, and that celebration of joy. We're here too.

As this post seems to be gaining traction, I feel that I should post this to ensure that @fozmeadows.bsky.social gets full credit for their original post in 2021 (which I couldn't find to share). I was right up to the character limit in my previous post and I don't think it was clear enough.

A screenshot of a Bluesky post by Foz Meadows from 15 November 2021 stating
"human gender and sexuality are very much like animal taxonomy, in that both look structured and simple on the surface, but
once you start investigating, it turns out there's actually no such thing as a fish despite the fact that we all know what a fish is, and that's okay"
There is a response by futureevilscientist stating:
"As a biologist, that is a fantastic comparison.

We talk about «Fish" (which, cladistically, do not exist, there is no monophyletic group of "fish" that simultaneously includes all organisms we understand to be "fish"-like while also excluding, say, humans) because, despite the utter fiction that is fish, it's still a useful label when we talk about certain features that «fish" tend to have in common.

Gender is absolutely the same way."

I don't say that the law won't stop this and elections won't matter because I'm a doomer. I'm saying this so people understand the moment we're in. We're no longer a democracy. People need to accurately diagnose the problem before they can fix it and waiting for the courts or elections isn't it.

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

My notes as I review a paper are my momentary impressions. Having an LLM slap them together into something that has the form of a peer review is useless. What matters is how I synthesize those momentary impressions into a holistic analysis of the paper, it's strengths and flaws.

"The Census Bureau knows how to make a home address list of almost every trans person who had a name change, they've done it before" is factual - but it hasn't been easy for me to express, easy for others to hear or process, or easy for either of us to communicate to each other effectively at all

If you want to help disabled people fight New York's proposed mask ban... wear a mask. If more people would mask up in solidarity, these important accessibility tools would be harder to ban. Help us normalize masking and protect your health in the process!

Robert McNamara: Prime Minister Castro, this missile crisis was the last straw. We almost blew ourselves up. Now we invited you here today...

John F. Kennedy: In good faith!
Robert McNamara: ….. in good faith, to sort this thing out.
Fidel Castro: And why is he [Nixon] here? He lost!

John F. Kennedy: As I always say, forgive your enemies, but remember their names. Now gentlemen, as I like to think, in the long history of the world, that there are only a few generations...

(Noises are heard in the background.)

Richard Nixon: Sounds like someone breaking in...
John F. Kennedy: Just the storm, Dick. Sit down.
Zombies smash a window, making noises and breaking through.
Richard Nixon: Oh my God!
Robert McNamara: It appears the Pentagon has been breached.

John F. Kennedy: Zombies. Gentlemen, at times like these our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive, to deter all forms of aggression.
John F. Kennedy: Gentlemen, lock and load!
Fidel Castro: Viva la Revolution.
Robert McNamera: Any last words, Mr. President?

Richard Nixon: Yes Jack, any superlative words of inspiration for our humble troops?

John F. Kennedy: Do not pray for easy lives, my friends. Pray to be stronger men.
