An amazing author puts out an amazing book, I know it's not news but it should be on your reading list
ALL MY DEAD CATS AND OTHER LOSSES, my book about grief; who is allowed to mourn and how; and why people want to pathologize the experiences that make us human, is available now in print, ebook, and audiobook formats, wherever fine books are sold (or loaned, shoutout to libraries).
All My Dead Cats and Other Losses: Practicing Good Grief in a Culture That Fears Mourning
"Both a grief book that doesn't read like a clinician's notes and a memoir wrapped around a bigger subject, All My Dead Cats takes grief from the taboo to the universal." — BooklistHave you suffered a...

Many, many years ago I worked for a certain legal news website to which Lindsey Graham subscribed.

Anyway i hardcoded it to always spell his name wrong in the top corner, no matter how many times he tried to manually correct it.

If you look at those sharp little points and think “surely they don’t stick that *into* your cervix without anesthesia,” you are in for a rude shock.
Trials found that Carevix — a portmanteau of “care” and “cervix" — reduced pain during IUD insertion by up to 73 percent and bleeding by 78 percent, compared to the tenaculum.
Why is gynecology still using a Civil War-era tool?
A new medical device is part of a broader effort to make gynecological care less painful — and to take patients more seriously.

Hey, Celeste Pewter has done SO MUCH invaluable public work over the last many years - I know I'm one of so, so many people who've used her scripts for phone calls to political representatives on a huge number of important issues - & now she's facing really severe health issues and needs help.

Fuck every single Democrat that has ever been willing to compromise on trans dignity, rights and humanity.

I hope you assholes are pleased with yourselves.

I don’t know if you could’ve prevented this moment, but you should’ve been fighting every step of the way.
See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

This passed the house today, so now is the time to call our senators (and yell at our house reps if they voted for it)

This bullshit bill is an assault on trans people and on every kid’s right to read and see the world as it exists.

Reps.fyi

You've probably seen the word #Landback somewhere and instantly had some feelings. It sounds blunt, which is part of why a lot of people tend to have an instant reaction or jump to some very problematic misconceptions about what it means.

So, let's talk Landback, from my POV and work.

There are no words for this pain. Amal’s son is between life and death after being shot by an Israeli drone. He needs urgent evacuation outside Gaza. Even $5 can make a difference. Please donate and share — every second matters
