Some personal news!

I’ve been accepted to FIT’s MFA Fashion Design program starting in the fall.
I’m increasingly convinced that long-term elevated cortisol levels are going to be millennial’s lead poisoning.

TIL about Georg Elser, a relatively everyday German carpenter who devised a long and meticulous solo plot to assassinate Hitler by planting a bomb at a location where he made an annual speech. The bomb killed many Nazis but missed Hitler only because he left early. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georg_E...

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.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

The fact that Bari Weiss controls a major US news network is one of the most ludicrous facts I can think of about these very ludicrous times.

It’s like appointing Pennywise the Clown to run a daycare or something.

“Living for vengeance might feel good in the moment, but … harboring that much corrosive energy would eat away at our spirits and leave us empty and unsatisfied.”

I don’t know. I once enacted a four year revenge plot without the person even knowing it was me and it makes me giggle to this day 🤷🏼‍♂️

When I was in the army, we received training on the absolute requirement to refuse to obey illegal orders at least once a year.

Within the military, “Don’t obey illegal orders” is not a controversial or surprising concept.

This whole faux outrage is for the Fox News crowd, not the military.
This is likely unlawful command influence

Again, every elected Democrat needs to put out a video stating exactly what Kelly and the others said. If ever there were a line to draw in the sand, it’s here. The military is not the president’s Praetorian Guard.

A court martial jury consists of a panel of officers of higher rank than the accused.

There is simply no way that a panel of flag officers is going to convict a retired Navy Captain and sitting Senator for exercising his first amendment rights.

At least I hope not!
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

I’ve had complaints about the VA here and there, but I can’t describe how good it feels to be able to go to a doctor when I need to without worrying about money.

American socialized medicine is amazing. I have it. Presidents have it. I wish everyone had it. We should make this happen ASAP.
Shoutout to the resident VA psychiatrist who gently but firmly harassed me into going to the damn doctor, shoutout to socialized medicine for hooking me up before I developed neurological issues

She sees your fandom as affirmation, your money as funding for the harm she causes to trans people.

It doesn't matter how you feel about her work, whether it was a formative touchstone or not. If you still buy the merch or hype up Harry Potter, you are complicit.
Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear

"Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks!

Let it Go!

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Kat is the hero Americas needs, and we’re probably not going to get out of this mess until most of us are willing to throw our bodies in from of the state’s fascist machinery.

This is the kind of leadership that makes it into history books.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This guy made $5m consulting last year and could be off doing literally anything other than this, but instead has decided to torch anything left of his reputation in a doomed attempt to reign over a city that he clearly despises and which clearly despises him.

Just go away, Andrew.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

The biggest issue in America is the disintegration of the old constitutional order, and if you’re not going to campaign on it, you’re also not going to do anything about it if you win.

All that is needed for evil to triumph in the world is for Democrats to do nothing.
GOV. WHITMER: “.. no one is worried about building a ballroom in Washington, D.C. What they want is to make sure that they can feed their kids next week.” Most Americans are “never going to step foot in a ballroom over the course of their lifetime.”

My feelings about my military service are complicated and ever evolving, but one thing that I’m certain of is that my experience of war, of doing violence and having violence done to me, all for no reason whatsoever in the end, has left me with an almost crippling empathy for my fellow human beings.
Bernie's implication that a veteran is just expected and allowed to be awash with toxic masculinity had me thinking today about the time I read @lorencrowe.bsky.social (one of the gayer men [laudatory] I'm aware of)'s jaw-dropping Silver Star citation.
