Have a poem.
Text reads:

Reflections on the mortality of the would-be Titans of the world
after Dorothy Parker


They won’t live for ever. The bell tolls for them, too. 
They’ll fall prey to infection. A tumour. The flu.
A rampant addiction to cocaine or ket.
Tertiary syphilis. A bite from a pet.
Food that’s lodged in their throat, and a Heimlich manoeuvre
no-one bothers to offer. Sex games with a Hoover.
Asthma. Assassins. An army of ants.
A bee sting. An avalanche, ski-ing in France.
A fall from a building. A weakened aorta.
An overdue drowning in phlegm, or deep water.
A venomous snake. A bomb in a box.
A swim in a creek packed with saltwater crocs.
A bullet. A blowout. The end of a rope.
Something will get them. Remember, there’s hope.

Ein klassisches Gemälde zeigt drei junge Katzen mit getigertem Fell, die auf einem bestickten, rötlich-braunen Tuch neben einem runden Goldfischglas sitzen. Zwei der Katzen liegen flach auf dem Bauch und schauen konzentriert in das Glas, während die dritte, mit einem rosa Halsband und Schleife geschmückte Katze leicht aufgerichtet hinter ihnen sitzt. Im Glas schwimmen mehrere kleine Fische zwischen grünen Wasserpflanzen. Der Hintergrund ist eine schlichte, warme Wand mit angedeuteten Holzvertäfelungen.

Incredible news! The Trump administration's under 19 trans care ban has been BLOCKED in federal court via a bench temporary restraining order. The administration CANNOT withhold funds from hospitals providing trans youth care. ACLU statement here:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

February 13, 2025

 

CONTACT

Gillian Branstetter, gbranstetter@aclu.org

Tom Warnke, twarnke@lambdalegal.org

 

BALTIMORE – In a victory for transgender youth, their families, and their medical providers, a federal district court today issued a temporary restraining order blocking enforcement of a Trump administration executive order attempting to shut down access nationwide to gender-affirming medical care for transgender people under 19. The decision by Judge Brendan Hurson was issued from the bench with a written order to come soon.

 

The nationwide restraining order prohibits federal agencies from conditioning or withholding federal funding based on the fact that a healthcare entity or health professional provides gender-affirming medical care to a patient under nineteen.

 

“Good and decent parents of transgender kids should never be in the frightening position of having their child’s prescribed, medically necessary care canceled at the whim and threat of a politician. But that’s exactly what President Trump’s executive order did to PFLAG families with trans youth and young adults nationwide,” said Brian K. Bond (he/him), Chief Executive Officer of PFLAG National. “Today’s decision rights a grievous wrong to our nation's families and children, and PFLAG families will be vigilant to ensure our transgender loved ones receive the healthcare they need—as this legal ruling demands.”

 

“Forcing providers to withhold medically-necessary, evidence-based care not only threatens patient health and well-being, but also undermines the integrity of our healthcare system in its entirety,” said Alex Sheldon (they/them), GLMA executive director. “Today's intervention by the court underscores the cruelty and recklessness that is embedded in this order and affirms our commitment to resist the administration’s extremist agenda that targets trans and non-binary young people and privileges political ideology over medical expertise. We are hopeful that…In the first week after the order was signed, some hospitals across the country — in Massachusetts, Maryland, Washington, Colorado, and Virginia at least — abruptly halted medical care for transgender people under age 19, canceling appointments and turning away patients, including some who had been receiving this care for most of their life. This prompted protests of support for transgender youth and in opposition to the order nationwide.

 

On Feb. 4, a lawsuit was filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, Lambda Legal, the ACLU of Maryland, and law firms Jenner & Block and Hogan Lovells on behalf of transgender young adults and adolescents and their families whose health care has been disrupted by President Trump’s order. Also joining the case as plaintiffs are PFLAG National, the nation’s largest organization supporting LGBTQ+ people and their families, with over 550,000 members and supporters and nearly 350 chapters across the country; and GLMA, the country’s largest organization of LGBTQ and allied health professionals.

 

"Across the country, this unlawful order from the president has sown fear among transgender youth and confusion among their providers,” said Joshua Block, senior staff attorney for the ACLU’s LGBTQ & HIV Project. “But today’s decision should restore both their access to healthcare and protections under the Constitution. Providers who’ve suspended healthcare for their transgender patients should be left with no doubt that they can lift those suspensions and continue to provide healthcare and act in their best medical judgment without risking their funding or worse.

 

“The president’s orders sought to take away from transgender young people the very care that they, their families, and their medical providers all agree is best for them – medical care that is evidence-based and well-established. But these decisions are for patients, their families, and their doctors to make, not for politicians or Washington bureaucrats,” said Omar Gonzale…

#BushtitoftheDay Bushtits are very social birds. They travel together in large flocks during the winter, and the younger birds help their parents with nesting. Here an adult male is snuggling with a recently fledged male. #birds #nature #bushtits
