Legitimately asking for a friend. If you know / can recommend a Baltimore-area personal injury attorney or firm, please let *me* know - I would really appreciate it. If the attorney works on contingency - even so much better! Again, not asking for myself!

This is yet another stunt by the Department of Justice attacking the integrity of Minnesota's federal judges. In emails to habeas petitioners' lawyers, they have complained that they feel getting certain judges means they automatically lose. And they've openly attacked individual judges before.

It feels genuinely ridiculous having to say this, but the point of art is to connect with another human. Someone thought of that painting or melodic line or scene or paragraph that is suddenly making you weep, and that means that they saw you and understood you without even meeting you.

The issue is not consent. It's power and self worth. Men who believe and see that women are equal and who treat them accordingly because they are not broken inside are not rapists or abusers.

Part of it is they suddenly have to wonder if other men think they’re being assholes. If the swing at me they might take me down, but I’ve been in fights, they aren’t likely to cold cock me; and they can see that. And maybe other people will step in. One person is a seed crystal in the solution

Public pressure works. The Cornell 7 drugged and raped a student for seven hours. They offered her up for “free” to their entire frat house and the school made them write an essay about it. They must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Jane Doe’s courage will help secure justice:

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

And to be honest, though the systems are so complex you can never prove causation, the fact that our descent into the dumbest politics follows on four decades of systematic, institutional disinvestment from the liberal arts seems almost too on the nose and yet here we are.

The National Gender Services practices from assement to prescription doses, are utterly out of step with practices in the rest of the EU. Frankly it appears that the practices are there to frustrate people and deny care while supposedly providing it on paper.

Also they refuse to accept the assessment by medical professionals in other countries. So a trans person moving here would have to see medical professionals outside the country, there is no actual pathway to care here. Which is why Ireland is not a good place for trans people to move to.
