Make no mistake: returning to certain relationships, personal or professional, is as much a form of self-harm as anything that slices our skin. And setting limits w/ those relationships is as complicated as trying to wrangle any other form of addiction.

You are not alone.

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it.

This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1.

It now goes to the senate.

It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.
1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid!

A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors."

House Spending Bill Now Bans Medicaid For Transition Care For Adults
The provision was stricken late at night to appeal to hardline conservatives.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote.

The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE.

We can stop this. We have to.
I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.
Final passage by one vote, though likely the present and 2 NV were all available to them if they had been needed. It's with the Senate now

Bringing it to 🦋 by request:

People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. A better person made it. But there's no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.

Remember kids! Detach quotes, block, and move on.

Trolls have found that the company they keep on other sites is unpalatable. They're coming here to escape that and are desperate to get what they always craved: your attention.

Cut off their oxygen. Disengage. Irrelevance is their worst nightmare.
A shitload of conservative accounts are flooding bluesky because they have no one to argue with on twitter.

Block them and move on. Do not engage. Simply wait for the inevitable thinkpiece where they are qouter whining that no one will argue with them and that makes them sad.

Around this time every year, I share a list of ways to support Native people. From supporting Indigenous people seeking abortion care to defending Native voting rights and keeping Native families together, here are some causes worth supporting. 🧵

Periodic reminder: a lot of what makes AI "work" is exploited people doing the tasks, just hidden behind fancy websites.

It's good that a normie outlet like 60 Minutes is reporting on this.

As bored right-wingers start to flock to bluesky the moderation team will face one of its first big challenges: keeping the place from turning into a sewer of bigotry.

Thankfully this is actually easier to combat than you would thing: simply ban the "big" accounts that come over and break TOS.

To the few folks that have been with me since the fire or before - imagine me back on my feet, able to create art again, having a small business, and able to help others and my community. 🥹

Please help me get there with any amount or a free boost before everything goes to hell.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/
