every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Worth reiterating every time that this is not some cancel-culture purity test: JK Rowling has pledged more than a billion dollars of her Harry Potter money towards bankrolling anti-trans lawsuits. This finances that.

"Hundreds of federal food-safety staff have been cut, and last July the CDC narrowed FoodNet — the sentinel network that provides early warnings of foodborne illness — from eight pathogens to two, dropping cyclospora altogether."
Why we still don’t know what foods are the source of the cyclospora outbreak
“You cannot thin a system, defer the tools that would speed it up, and then wonder why the public is left guessing,” writes epidemiologist Katrine Wallace.

this country is mortifying.

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women"
Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds?

Tradwife movement ‘attracts men who are hostile to women’
The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but ‘hostile sexism’

As the parent of transgender child, I can testify that the standard of care was EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE even before the recent moral panic. I cannot stress this enough. EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE. Anyone who says otherwise is completely uninformed or blatantly lying. Period.
In reality, the medical field is extremely conservative. Every medical body recommends thorough assessment for minors and practitioners have moved slowly and carefully as they gather evidence on this emerging field.

The funny thing about this idea is that Congress had a deal to pay TSA a few days ago and Trump killed it
Breaking news: The White House is weighing unilateral action to pay TSA officers if Senate Democrats and Republicans cannot quickly agree to a deal on the DHS’s budget.
The move would sidestep Congress as millions of travelers face record delays.

Regarding Harry Potter, the work of Neil Gaiman was collectively one of the most influential works on my life and I threw every bit of it out when I learned who he was. Just because you don't have the courage of your convictions doesn't mean I don't

The ICE agents standing around the airports doing jack shit are getting paid thanks to the One Big Bullshit bill's slush fund.
Meanwhile, the TSA agents doing their best are NOT getting paid because Trump told Republicans to block a TSA funding carveout.

My takeaway is the artist was told to draw painstakingly draw each hair in Platner's beard and then what they thought someone called Jasmine Crockett would look like
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.
