Trans woman, she/her
It's possible that he thinks axiomatically that the days where people get beat up because they are gay are behind us, and as such nothing he could do could lead to it happening more.
This is a feckless and disqualifying perspective for a political figure to have.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.
I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."
HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡

A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:
“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Do you think that’s air you’re breathing now, Charlie Brown?
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die, Charlie Brown.

I'd just really like to get to a place where older men leveraging various power to gain sexual access to young women they know would never be with them otherwise get treated for what it is instead of reversing power to erase them, or worse treat them as victims.

Squall's got this vibe where I remember the cultural conversation was that he's whiny and annoying and imo he's got that Holden Caulfield thing where if ur roughly of an age with him u either identify with him or find him the pits but if ur an adult ur seeing a kid who's really out of his depth

This one really is useful because you won’t see a more clear demonstration of one of the most damaging political phenomena of the era: the reactionary professional mind rejecting unacceptable reality, only able to process and comprehend it via something close to conspiracy theory.
Former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz says Jewish students shouldn’t have smartphones until they finish high school — so they don’t see the “carnage” Israel and the U.S. have carried out in Gaza.

even if Terra and Celes get focus, virtually all the people they talk to being men will tilt the scales. I also think part of it is that VI let two of their three girls have swords, and its easy to mistake swords for agency.

Today is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Trans people have literally always been here; every time I see someone sneering "oh but there were no trans people when I was in high school," well. I dated a trans girl in high school, and was close friends with a trans guy.

And like, make no mistake, this whole thing smacks of gender. A lot of it's about eschewing care work and feminine signifiers and anything that registers as 'weak' to a ludicrious masculine ideal.

The Department of Education is proposing a definition that could strip nurse practitioners and CRNAs of “professional degree” status.
Chiropractors keep it. Nurses risk losing it. And that change would fall hardest on women in healthcare.
This is political and it is sexist.
