I get why 2FA is necessary.

That doesn't make it less of a pain in the ass, though.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.

As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

I'm disappointed with #SesameStreet season 55, episode 16. They didn't handle sharing well, & worse, they taught that Rudy didn't have the right to say "no" & have his no respected by other kids. Sharing is great, & kids have the right to have their "no" respected by others.

I was quietly praying for help with the fundraiser when I noticed a straight razor on the steps leading to my basement.

I think God hates me.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) or Parts Work has been a game changer for thousands of people working through trauma.

Let’s first remember that trauma isn’t what happened to you but how your body responded to the event. You might think it was no big deal but your body remembers otherwise.
I am the guest on this week's Inside of You podcast with Michael Rosenbaum. We talked about my new podcast, my efforts to heal from a childhood defined by abuse and exploitation, and caring for ourselves. Here's a preview, where I'm talking about my IFS therapy.

Bhattacharya; “Free speech, for instance, [was] really important during the pandemic. Many, many of the academic institutions in this country, including some of the places you’ve mentioned, make it very difficult for free speech, for scientists to dissent.”
Since this was published yesterday, NPR reports JAMA joins NEJM on the list of journals that confirms they’ve been sent threatening letters by Trump’s DOJ, ominously referencing their tax-exempt status in a bid to compel regime-friendly editorial choices.
