If anyone wants to yell at the Feds about it, the proposed rule is still open for comment here (specifically the section titled: “Proposed Revisions to § 170.39—Threshold of Regulation (TOR) for Substances Used in Food or as a Food Contact Substance”):

How the fuck am I supposed to eat anything? It’s bad enough I have to deal with Crohn’s, but this asshole just wants to kill us all. Remember that regulations are written in blood. So many more people will get sick (or die!) because of this fucking nonsense.

My theory about RFK Jr. is that this is individualism taken to its extreme: don't regulate food, don't mandate vaccines. If you get sick, you should've done your own research. Your health is your own responsibility, even when corps. are allowed to put you at risk. The privatization of public health.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

This phrase keeps rattling around my head 🤷 #art #transrights #fuckjkr
Messy writing on the page of a sketchbook. In several different fonts, the phrase reads “we shouldn’t have to keep telling grown ass adults that the lives of real people are more important than a fucking children’s book about wizards”. The words are a mixture of black, white, blue and pink.

Following along @mzakharuk.bsky.social's reread of @juliaserano.bsky.social's "Whipping Girl". Barely any cis people understand the rampant rape culture inherent to the medical gatekeeping of trans healthcare. These "professionals" know the power they hold over trans people and often abuse it.
> In the 1970s, Suzanne J. Kessler and Wendy McKenna came across several instances in which gatekeepers were rather blatant about this practice: “A clinician during a panel session on transsexualism at the 1974 meeting of the American Psychological Association said that he was more convinced of the femaleness of a male-to-female transsexual if she was particularly beautiful and was capable of evoking in him those feelings that beautiful women generally do. Another clinician told us that he uses his own sexual interest as a criterion for deciding whether a transsexual is really the gender she/he claims.”

Most Democratic voters say that they favor a wealth tax, but a California ballot initiative has plenty of liberal opponents.

So let me know if you want to come to a virtual talk next wk on “Reimagining Leadership.“ Time tbd. The focus is on cultivating critical, creative, and caring capacities in medicine, but I think it applies beyond that. I’m pretty sure we can do this without any leaders.

If I wrote a book that was later banned by Americans, I would wear that as a badge of honour. On the flip side, if someone hasn't done this already, 12,000 books is definitely enough inventory for an online banned bookstore. Or we need a rich Dolly Parton type sending banned books out
