In so many ways, I often feel like a very different person (in an extremely good way) since starting HRT last year. Even in the roughest times, my perspective on life feels like it can return to healthier areas of reflection and self-value, which always felt like an impossibility previously.
HRT really is a miracle drug because the change in my partner's mental health these past few months has been astounding.
So much less self-hatred, she's happier, she makes her bed and takes care of her space more, and she just seems more herself in a way I didn't know was possible.

HRT really is magic because before I went on T was miserable and depressed and was noticeably withdrawn and self-isolating from a lot of people and that practically reversed after the first few injections. This just in! Feeling at home in your body is good for your mental health it turns out!

People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The Dino-Riders dinosaurs were absolutely amazing in their details. I have no shame at all to say that I kept all of them from childhood. :)
Anybody who knows me knows I've long advocated that leaving DINO-RIDERS in IP Neverland is leaving gold in the ground
Random cool trivia; there was a very short lived toyline about futuristic soldiers arming dinosaurs with high tech weaponry and using them as vehicles.
Among other cool aspects of this; the dinosaurs are VERY detailed, and look pretty great.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Treatment for trans kids cannot wait for adulthood. Adolescent changes in the body are permanent and irreversible. The pain of dysmorphia kills. No medical professional treats kids casually, no family seeks treatment casually. Treatment is safe, effective and is a conservative course of action.

I hope people realize that fighting these raids by arguing they "aren't decreasing crime" is a losing battle -- they do not care and will simply change the definition of "crime."

The district is nearly one-third Hispanic, per WBTV

a journalist asked a question about a fellow murdered journalist and there is simply no way to read Trump's response as anything other than a threat
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Inter alia, it says,"International students, faculty and staff should carry evidence of their immigration status with them at all times."
