@juliacurlee.bsky.social I just read your article in The Atlantic; trying not to cry. Thank you for your heart, your courage and your service to this country. May your faith in its people and principles ultimately prove itself to be entirely justified.

@emilytesh.net I found ‘Some Desperate Glory’ at my local feminist bookshop. Fifty pages in, I have very definite thoughts about where it’s going, why Ursa left, and who will prove to be the actual villain. Hoping that Valkyr will prove herself a true avenging angel!

Okay, I have an idea…the 99% fund a private equity group that buys OTHER private equity groups, loads them with debt, then walks away… Could we make it work?

SCOOP from me: Trump's AI action plan released last week makes a specific set of recommendations around loosening Clean Water Act permits for data centers — recommendations mirrored in letters sent to the administration by Big Tech lobbyists earlier this year:

Big Tech Asked for Looser Clean Water Act Permitting. Trump Wants to Give It to Them
New AI regulations suggested by the White House mirror changes to environmental permitting suggested by Meta and a lobbying group representing firms like Google and Amazon Web Services.

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.

Of course asking someone what genitals they had at birth is a breach of the right to privacy. They’re called “private parts” not “private unless you suspect the person is transgender and then be as invasive as you want parts”

Yesterday I saw a patient who is experiencing her first potential pregnancy—U/S showed two gestational sacs but no fetal poles at approx age 5wks4d. She has a rare fertility problem. I worry about what will happen to her here (WI) if this represents a failed pregnancy—can she even terminate it?

Yesterday I submitted my name change petition—long-overdue, considering I’ve been fully out since 2020, legally recognized female since 2015, on hormones since 2007. And yet all I can think today is that I continue to fail my wife—my love of 32 years. Which is ridiculous, but that’s dysphoria. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Today SCOTUS hears U.S. v Skrmetti. While I’m normally a Pollyanna, it’s clear to me that SCOTUS will find for Skrmetti; they knew this before they took the case. By finding that TN can deny GAC to youth, they pave the way to deny GAC to all trans people—and then, to deny women bodily autonomy. 😡
