Important addendum— they are approved for *everyone* up to age 45! And everyone should get them, because in addition to preventing cervical cancer they can prevent head and neck cancers, penile cancers, and anal cancers!
remember when I tried to get an HPV shot and my OBGYN told me no because “that’s a shot for hoes!”

turns out you can just go to the grocery store and get one at the pharmacy

HPV vaccines are approved for women up to age 45 in the USA & significantly reduce the risk of cervical cancer!

This is great to know because I was turned down for the HPV shot years ago for being over 30.

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

This is the important part! If you submit your application for a gender marker change, you will not receive your passport or your supporting documents back.
aclu.org ACLU @aclu.org · Jan 24
All applications for gender marker change are on hold while the State Department changes this policy.

Anyone who now submits an application for a change runs the risk of losing access to their passport and documents while their application is being processed.

The Trump administration’s anti-DEI snitching plan is getting flooded with fake reports after it tried to strong-arm federal workers into ratting out their colleagues.
Trump Wants Snitches to Report on DEI. There’s Just One Problem.
Donald Trump wants people to expose diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in the federal government. The idea is already flopping.

Clean Air Club offered tens of thousands of dollars worth of free air filter equipment to Los Angeles schools last month and over 25 of them rejected the offer out of hand due to denial, bad politics and disinformation.

‼️NEW: Meta is now blocking searches on Threads for terms such as “Trans”, “LBGT”, and “Transgender”.

However, the term “Transgenderism” does show results.

This comes days after the platform announced their intentions to stop moderating anti-LGBTQ+ posts.

hey democrats, including especially sarah mcbride -

shut the fuck up about the "its just a distraction" narrative to anti-LGBTQ+ policies.

you're quite literally dismissing the stripping of our civil rights for the purpose of... what, exactly? funding Israeli war crimes?

I talked about this in the #PagesAndPrejudice podcast.

The rise in sex negative and puritanical attitudes in online spaces, like book communities and fandoms, is coming from a misguided desire to believe there’s a way that we can protect ourselves from being victimized. This is rape culture.

Heads up if you've got games on itch. io: You need to go into your dashboard and tag them as non-AI or they'll stop showing up in searches.

michael's thread came back around so i want to make sure it's emphasized that NINETY THOUSAND people took the survey

9-0-0-0-0.

that's an ABSURD number of people.

By contrast, Zucker's studies showing high rates of regret? 45-55 patients.
Jesse's point is less stupid than Leor's, but only barely.

If large numbers of people were unhappy with their transitions, they would show up in the data before they transitioned back.

Few medical procedures in the US have self-reported satisfaction anywhere near this high.

92,000 people surveyed. 94% happier after transition. basically nothing has that kind of satisfaction rate. if you don't actively support the expansion and protection of gender-affirming care you're saying you just don't want people to be happy.
