Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

I almost never give birthday cards. Parents expect it, I oblige. But today I bought a card for the sentiment, knowing that if I gave cards, most of my friends would appreciate this. I might keep it until it is really appropriate, then send it with the internal happy birthday message crossed out.
Birthday card, simple black outline cartoon drawings on white. Top panel, anxious looking dog. Caption says "NORMAL PEOPLE SCARE ME". In the bottom panel, the same dog is jumping for joy. There's a speech bubble from the dog that says "YAY!" and the caption says "THANK GOODNESS FOR YOU!"

Are you Non-Binary and sick of being forced into explicitly gendered spaces? Trans, and want a way to avoid issues at work, or have a safety net in case you are in a hostile situation? We have an imperfect solution that could make your life easier: www.essehouse.co.uk/pee-in-peace-program
A letter from esse house to a community member, to whom we have provided an accessible toilet key. 

"This program was designed to remove barriers by ensuring everyone can safely use facilities with dignity and confidence without compromising their identity, wherever they are. Carry a key with you everywhere - it opens up a network of accessible toilets, giving you peace of mind wherever you go."

The key is attached to the letter.

All of the current "guidance" from the National "Health" Service about Trans+ treatment and care is rooted in anti-trans rhetoric with no medical basis. It is political. And where organisations outside the so-called NHS are providing the care that the NHS fails to provide, they are heroes.

@bsky.app suspending @jessiegender for calling out JK Rowling is not “safety,” it’s censorship. When a trans voice is punished for pushing back against hate, it sends a clear message: silence the marginalized, protect the powerful. We demand Jessie’s reinstatement. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
