Very wary of a Brown U survey recruiting trans people on Facebook. Says it's funded by NIH and the disclosure sheet is very concerning. Seems like fed govt trying to get a list of trans people on Medicaid and Medicare under the guise of trans advocacy. Would not trust this at all.

These weirdos who live across the street. I was out in my yard and she was in hers. Her yard has a wooden privacy fence around it. She pretended to be raking leaves by the fence but what she was really doing was spying on me through the gabs in the wooden pickets. Weirdo.

I dislike all my neighbors. They are truly horrible nasty people. I would like to move but unless I win the lottery I'm stuck here. Going to buy a ticket now...

We're about to see another surge in bicycle sales.

Sure, groceries are unaffordable, but at least the gas needed to drive to the grocery store is also unaffordable.

I stg if you're someone with a uterus and you have the misfortune of having cis male medical providers, EVERYTHING will be about the uterus. Broken toe? Uterus. Stomach problems? Uterus. Literally every medical problem is because of the uterus. If you're a trans masc on T, that might be blamed too.

Meta sends me an email every day prodding me to "get back on instagram" telling me how "easy" it is to use. I was just on there a few days ago and gave up because it's impossible to use. It refuses to accept uploads, it constantly suspends my account for normal behavior like leaving comments

I'm not sure what's going on but I got several of these emails all at 4am this morning. It's an account name I used to have but which meta banned for no reason. It's someone apparently trying to recover a password or maybe just spam my email idk.

Great, are the clinics that closed in these states going to re-open? I have my doubts. The damage was already done.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded. “This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.” www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

Maybe I'm too old,I feel like both of these phones (Android and iPhone) have got too hard to use. It shouldn't take all night to figure out how to set an alarm. I still haven't figured it out on the iPhone

Just went cruising through X and I feel like I've been in a garbage dump. Disgusting platform. A real shame as Twitter was such a great space for a while there.

I was watching a live stream on YouTube of a man applying makeup to his face and was cut off with a demand to verify my age. I've watched many of his makeup live streams and they're not inappropriate for anyone.

I watched this video and it made me realize why I've had a distaste for democrats for some time now... the democratic party as we knew it is gone. We now have fascists who call themselves republicans and republicans who call themselves democrats. True liberals and social justice adherents are GONE.

NEW EPISODE: George Conway and I discuss the state of American democracy, Trump's authoritarian tactics, and what we can do to stop him. He doesn't mince words — impeachment isn't just an option, it's a constitutional obligation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xt6r...

This is why trans people won't be much better off, if any at all, even if the midterms turn out to be a blue tsunami. We'll still be under a genocide because that's what the mob supports.

Why can't trans friendly states issue new birth certificates to trans people? I've lived in Michigan most of my life. Why do I have to be forever barred from a correct birth certificate just because I was born in a shitty red state? I have no tied to that state other than being born there

The law invalidating trans ppl Kansas driver licenses is a lot worse than is being reported. I looked up the law. You can't even be in possession of a cancelled license. So they left no way for people to get to DMV to surrender it while at the same time it's illegal to even possess it.

It still blows my mind that Roe is gone and women are being prosecuted for miscarriages and our Congress is doing nothing about this. Nobody is even talking about this anymore meanwhile all these cameras are being installed everywhere. They will be used to catch women going out of state for abortion

Everyone's talking about how AI is going to take over all these jobs. Well, it's not going to be anytime soon imo. We are finding out self driving cars are actually remote controlled cars and AI can't even give us real time translation on live streams. I'm not impressed.

It can't give us any translation on live streams. And I haven't seen a translator yet that can translate whatever language the Karen people from Burma/Myanmar are speaking.

Russia and Israel need to be STOPPED. The United States is a fallen state at this point, we can't do it.

Looks like none of the big trans reporters are going to cover this. SD never had a method for making bc changes, you had to go to court. I know for sure that in the past some trans people born in SD were able to change their SD bc by going to court in their state of current residence.

Trans people in South Dakota no longer allowed to change their birth certificates. ujs.sd.gov/media/iz0bwu...

I was born there but don't live there and was advised by a lawyer familiar with this type of thing to do just that. I decided against it because it creates a public record and up to the judge whether to seal it. The judge here is already hostile so I didn't bother.

We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon. What a time to be alive.

We're obviously reaching (or already went over) peak oil. Everyone who was talking about peak oil 20 years ago said we'd see wars when we're on the decline after peak.

Hart Cunningham@hart28.bsky.social

WH official says the US will seize "all the oil" from Iran(Was NEVER about drugs or nukes, ALWAYS our greed)

I'm a bit confused by where she filed the petition, whether in MN or SD? If she lives in MN why would she file in SD? SD will accept the order of a court from another State...well, they would have. Now probably not.

Love how the cash app AI says let me get an agent to help you then I get an agent that turns out to be another AI. Lord help us with this crap.

Im hearing that Google is getting more controlling and isn't going to allow anyone to install apps that don't come from their play store.

Donald Trump is stealing our money. He's giving himself 10 billion dollars under the guise if the United States "contributing" to his made up board of peace. He's literally stealing our money.

When Trump separated thousands of migrant children from their parents and put them in child camps. This article was written just a few months before Epstein was arrested. Now entire families are being disappeared. Where are the children going? www.propublica.org/article/sena...

The idea that someone who gets around with a $2000 piece of equipment is "elitist" while someone who uses a $30,000+ piece of equipment that costs hundreds of dollars per month to operate is "normal" is quite the brainwashing.

If Kamala runs and wins the primary, she will not win against Vance. I'm sorry to say but she will just not. There are too many racists and misogynists in the US, particularly in the wall states.

I'm watching in real time on the floor of the Missouri House where Republicans are falsely citing the AMA and ASPS positions quoted by the NY Times. The NY misquoting was a deliberate set up job to provide cover for states like MO to grease a repeal of trans youth care. #moleg
