1. A federal judge has just ruled in favor of 16 states and schools that refuse to comply with Trumps trans ban demand.

The administration is threatening to pull tens of millions in federal sex ed funding.

Now, they will be blocked.

There's some research that suggests the more severe symptoms you experience with Covid can increase your risk of Long Covid. It such a failure of public health and the media that there isn't an encouragement of getting the Covid vax, which can reduce severe Covid cases, let alone masking.

Aparna Nair @disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 1d

And, no, I don't care if that sounds harsh. All the people memory holing and pretending COVID is over are why my mother and those around her refused to take it seriously. At every level we failed: from public health to heads of state and politicians to physicians and media and communities.

👋 HELLO...!!! while i am not in any urgent financial danger right now, i just moved and i am a couple weeks out from getting paid. i would appreciate any help, be it just spreading the word or even just telling a friend who may be interested. THANK YOU...!!!

black and white drawing of a pale person with dark hair waving his arms above his head, accompanied by the following text: "i moved out! i need money! i'm on VGen! hello!"

the same black and white character from the first image, but he is saying "i can do this for you! check it out~" while gesturing to 9 different art pieces, ranging from half-body portraits, to food illustration, to several more simplified characters.

finally, the same black and white figure is giving a thumbs up gesture with a big smile. he says "thanks for looking at my post! keep me in your mind's pocket in case it could be handy later...!"

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

UPDATE: Miss Debra's relatives helped her pay most of her bills, but she still needs at least $200 for the remainder + moving expenses. She has applied for an apartment in NC and is eager to get outta here!

Ben Can't @bencant.bsky.social · 12d

I'm raising for my friend who lived down the street from us at our old place. She's been in a shitty living situation for a while now and I'm hoping this will finally be able to help her have a fresh start!

Our neighbor needs your help! Miss Debra is a disabled Black elder who is hoping to move to North $ Carolina to be with her extended family. But first, she needs our help!
We need to raise $4,200 to help her pay her remaining bills before she can leave. Any extra will go towards her moving expenses. V3nmo: @BeKa211. Include "Miss Debra" in the memo

Hi guys- all my accounts are in the red and I’m still healing from my very sudden ER stay.

I hate to post this again because I just want to be back to normal- but I need help 😔

I’m going to try to do silly doodles for everyone who’s donated when I’m healed

It’s not irrational to look at the scientific evidence on Long Covid and say “fuck no“ - especially if you’re already chronically ill, disabled

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy. It feels like the world has moved on.”

It’s shameful how society is gaslighting people who are experiencing chronic illness and ignoring an ongoing public health crisis.

Long Covid Is Real -- And It's Changing an Entire Generation

Long Covid is affecting hundreds of thousands of kids in America, and many doctors and schools refuse to recognize their illness.
