There can be no social justice without disability justice. Involve the disabled in resistance efforts. Listen to us. Recognize that this is a class struggle and the disabled can teach you how to fight the fascists.

Alex Massie conjured up a figure of aroudn 450 trans women convicted rapists over the space of a decade in a piece he did for the Times and got away with it despite that number being larger than the total number of trans women in the British prison system altogether (most of them not for rape).

This idiotic tweet reminds me of when a friend and I visited Oakland Cemetery in Atlanta. Founded in 1850, it reveals a fascinating history. We noticed how many gravestones were for infants. And for many young sibling dying in the same week. We realized that it was before vaccines and antibiotics.

Thanks Adam. Good lesson on T here. theconversation.com/more-testost...

More testosterone won’t make a better soldier or a tougher man – aggression and strength drive T levels, not the other way around
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is requiring service members to screen for low testosterone levels. Ironically, the military lifestyle itself is more likely to lower T levels.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica. 
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica. 
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

If you think standards have dropped in healthcare it’s important to note that in 2023 UKHSA downgraded their responsibility from this.
What we do
The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) is responsible for protecting every member of every community from the impact of infectious diseases, chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear incidents and other health threats.
We provide intellectual, scientific and operational leadership at national and local level, as well as on the global stage, to make the nation's health secure.
UKHSA is an executive agency, sponsored by the Department of Health and Social Care.
