My kiddo is doing an adaptation of Little Red Riding Hood and here’s the poster they drew.

I believe this story is going to be a little darker.

Steven Pinker selling multiple $50,000 NFTs of a trite four word aphorism “free speech is fundamental” is the funniest shit I’ve seen all day.

For US trans folks, ProPublica is looking at barriers to gender affirming care. (These are the investigative big guns, so people with good documentation this goes double for you.)

Have You Faced Barriers to Getting Gender-Affirming Care? Help Us Investigate.

Gender-affirming care is medically necessary but can be hard to access. ProPublica is investigating the ways transgender people are blocked from getting quality health care related to gender transitions.

Next time you're using one of those soggy paper straws, remember that over 200 private jets took off immediately after the Super Bowl. That's the same carbon emission as 3,000 commercial fights.* Private jets should be illegal. Every celebrity who flies in one knows exactly what they're doing, and doesn't give two shakes.

"Placing more emphasis on students' explanations requires teachers to relinquish some control over a lesson's direction. This can be a frightening prospect to a teacher who is unprepared to evaluate the validity of a novel idea that students propose."

Deleted my Twitter for the time being. I am wanting to write testimony for some of these awful anti-trans bills coming down, and feeling very vulnerable. It is hard having to write down why your child deserves to get care that is essential to their wellbeing and to convince people that their well-being is important. Like, yes, I want my child to have a happy life and this care will allow for that… as they try to erase my child from existence. #trans #nonbinary

2023 was supposed to be the time when things settled down…. On Jan 1st, came home from driving 5 hours, and beloved cat was acting sick. Took him to the Emer Vet, one surgery and thousands of dollars later, cat is doing well, but I haven’t had a full night’s sleep since he has been home. He makes lots of noise with his cone and I am trying to give him meds and follow doc’s orders. It’s about doing me in mentally and I want to sit in a corner and cry bc of work, $, SC politics, & my kiddo… 🥺
