The 988 suicide prevention hotline's Press 3 option — which provides specialized services to LGBTQ callers — has been restored more than a year after the Trump administration shut it down. Confirmed by HHS and the office of Senator Tammy Baldwin, who led on legislation that forced its restoration

Pioneering photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White died #OTD in 1971. * 1st American female war #photojournalist * 1st staff photographer at Fortune magazine * 1st female photojournalist at LIFE & its first-ever cover photo was hers Pic: 61st floor of the Chrysler Building, NYC #photography
In a striking black-and-white photograph of historical significance, pioneering American photojournalist Margaret Bourke-White (1904–1971) is captured in a daring pose on the 61st floor of the Chrysler Building in New York City. Crouched on a massive, art deco chrome eagle gargoyle protruding over the urban abyss, her expression is one of intense focus. She wears a dark beret, a buttoned tailored jacket, and light trousers, completely absorbed in operating her large, boxy bellows camera. Her body bridges the mechanical gargoyle and the tower's metallic rim, showcasing her fearless reputation as the first female war correspondent and LIFE magazine's inaugural cover photographer. Far below, the hazy, snow-dusted skyscrapers of 1930 Manhattan recede into a dense gray fog, creating a high-contrast composition. The dramatic perspective underscores a dizzying sense of height and verticality, casting a courageous, adventurous mood that epitomizes the soaring ambitions of early 20th-century industrial America.

What percent of Trump's ballooning debt do you bet we could pay off if we charged people $10 for each time they get to swing a sledgehammer at either the ballroom or the arch? I'd take the over on "the entire US debt."

You can’t talk about debt without talking about how we got into a bad predicament, and there’s only one correct answer: tax cuts enacted this century

This is a good summary of the status of the complex of three fires now being called the “Spokane Area Fires.” – About 8,000 acres and more than 600 structures burned – Autumn Lane (the most rural of the three fires, burning between Spokane and Deer Park) seems to be the most active this morning.

Torn between: It would be nice if we could care that this is happening to trans girls without immediately pivoting to centering cis people And Anti-trans legislation is absolutely being used as a Trojan horse for wider restrictions on all girls/women and we need to be screaming about that

Yep. The value of corporations rolling out the rainbow carpet isn't what's in their heart of hearts, it's the society-wide signaling of "acceptance is good, bigotry is bad." Even if entirely insincere, it tells society "we think the majority of our customers expect this," and that's good!
