Spread this #Typography masterpiece

I’m not trans. As far as I know, my kids aren’t at the moment. Nobody in my family is. None of my good friends are. I don’t prescribe medication for gender affirming care. I don’t specifically treat folks for gender dysphoria. So why do I give a fuck?

You don’t punch down. There’s no transgender machine producing trans judiciary and trans politicians and trans PACs to come for my cisgender. There are trans folks being discriminated against, outed, beaten, jailed, and killed. I hate bullies.

#Trans folx in #Kansas given 1 day to surrender their (now invalid) IDs and driver's licenses to the state. As of tomorrow (Thursday), driving while trans is a class-B misdemeanor ($1000 fine and up to 6 months in jail).

The zero-grace-period execution means driving to turn in your license is a crime.

Oh yeah, this bill also enacted a bathroom bounty program allowing private individuals to sue trans folx for using the restroom.

Hello, do I know, or can I reach, someone with a room to rent in Glasgow, UK from Apr to July?

I know off someone who's coming for an apprenticeship in art/fashion and who'd rather be hosted by a local if possible.

Boosts welcome and any hints appreciated too.

Ugh. The Airbus A321neo is so badly designed that on my flight home from Miami on Friday night everyone was moved to the back because it didn’t have enough weight and balance to fly safely if we were further forward. All of us crammed into the back to try to overcome the problem of where the engines sit on the plane. What a disaster.

Previously: In a world run by #science, the government would respond to a Texas measles outbreak by increasing vaccination rates.

But today, our government is controlled by dysfunctional, radical idealists like RFK, Jr. https://www.texasobserver.org/dysfunctional-government-rfk-trump-v-slaughter/

Chocolate covered strawberries are a great #ValentinesDay treat. Let's give a cheer for workers like "Eva" who was laboring in Ventura County CA. She had to trudging through slippery muddy rows to bring this sweet fruit to our table. #WeFeedYou

"Every single woman had been in the facility about three weeks and had been living in the same articles of clothing for three weeks," Escobar said. "Their clothes had not been washed. They had not been offered fresh underwear or fresh clothing. Some of them were literally still in their snow boots from Minnesota."
