Working from home for a couple of days because a small eyelid infection turned into full-blown cellulitis. Here’s to antibiotics and working from my kitchen.

I started off a trip to the trans rural elders conference by seeing a praying mantis at my back door, and ended it with a rainbow on my drive home. Thanks, universe!

He’s a small-minded, small-hearted intellectual opportunist who desperately seeks relevancy by saying outrageous things. He’s no difference from Marjorie Greene, he just has a better vocabulary and a nicer suit.

The other day, Roxane Gay said that she can’t wait for the Netflix documentary on the Louvre heist. I noted her comment and moved on.

Today I saw the photo of the detective handling the case, and now I can’t wait for the docu, either!

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

We need to learn. Things are so much worse in so many ways, since the disaster at Scott County, IN.

Dangerous or life-saving? Why drug programs that stop disease are under fire.

A decade after a historic HIV outbreak in Indiana, syringe programs that helped contain the crisis are at risk of disappearing due to federal funding restrictions and local opposition.

Our participants report more than 1,500 so far this year for overdoses reversed with naloxone.

We had 1,880 in 2024.
933 in 2023.
632 in 2022.
301 in 2021.

Everyday people have reversed more than 6,000 overdoses in our region since 2015 with our program.

Fund public health. Fund CBOs.

PLEASE DONT LOCK ME UP FOR BEING TRANS

Did a brief interview with NPR Sacramento this evening, about Washington’s law for people to have twelve months of HRT at a time. This is almost identical to a bill Gov Newsom vetoed. Kind of nervous speaking on behalf of a government, but I did it, and without cursing! Go, me.

I’m way off. I had about 5,000 on the blue bird, and here I have about 800. But the quality of the posters is a lot like Tw…. in its old days in 2007/8.

Sorry for the typo. Thus is apparently a corrected term in autocorrect.

Everybody in SUD treatment knows the patient must be motivated. This everyone in SUD tx knows involuntary treatment doesn’t work. So why don’t they push back against calls for involuntary tx?
I can only think it’s the money.

That’s a terrible lie from the Heritage Foundation. I saw them laughed off the stage one time at a major convention, for utter lack of rigorous thinking. Bye now.

As you know, conversion therapy isn’t therapy at all, but is abuse to try to stop someone from being queer or trans. Gender affirming care is normal health care. Don’t be disingenuous.

“States can’t ban conversion therapy but they can ban gender-affirming care. They can’t regulate ‘crisis pregnancy centers’ but they can ban abortion. This is required by the Constitution. If you say we’re just doing politics you’re responsible for political violence.”
—The U.S. Supreme Court

Supreme Court seems skeptical about state bans on 'conversion therapy' for LBGTQ+ kids

A majority of Supreme Court justices seem to be leaning in favor of a Christian counselor who is challenging bans on LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy” for kids as a violation of her First Amendment rights.

By the tiniest of measures, my eyes somehow remained in my head after reading that.

We are just trying to help marginalized and stigmatized people find their own way. We have hit countless roadblocks, artificial obstructions of policy, and false scarcity, and stigma. I have a stack of hate mail on my desk.

Why?

Because a few rich people want even more for themselves.

For shame.
