1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

I went FT freelance in 2019 to write my books, but the majority of my income came from freelancing for places like syfy or a writer's room where my name will never show up on the things I made. Then those ended and I had to go back to a day job. Can't survive on what my writing alone makes.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times

Doubly important since the most effective anti-trans bigotry aims to muddy the conversation past any shared consensus.
This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth.

The government’s ban on puberty blockers undermines clinical expertise and targets trans youth with a policy that lacks evidence, consistency and fairness.

Our plan went from about 2k a month—hellishly expensive enough—to almost 5k. (Yes, we’d be paying more than 50k a year if we kept the same plan). We’re hunting for other plans that will at least cover my oncologist.
KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action.
