History will recall that the New York Times, that bastion of "the liberal media," on July 4, 2024 chose to give prime space on their op-ed page to a theocratic absolutist who argued that people shouldn't vote, even though he himself has voted in the last 2 elections (but nowhere is that mentioned).

When I first saw this I thought "no, that can't possibly be true." But alas, the Times did indeed choose today of all days to publish a right winger's recycled piece about how they don't vote, failing to mention that the author basically thinks absolutist theocracies are cool.

“Oh Trump is a conman, he’s pulling the wool over peoples eyes” Yeah to some degree, but the main core reason he was President and might well be President again is a lot of people fucking love being racist

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. 🧪

Day 46 of orchi recovery and I gotta say the way it's healed up looks *really* nice and natural, my urologist is a maestro at this 💙

Happy pride 💞

Wow, it's almost like the tidal wave of anti-trans legislation was just political opportunism and had nothing to do with any actual issue needing to be addressed apnews.com/article/trum...

This is why mask bans are suddenly being proposed. If you’re in a place where that’s happening and you think we should prioritize public and personal health and freedom over expanding the powers of the police state then please do let your representatives know why the freedom to mask matters to you

Cops don’t like them; makes it harder to use surveillance footage and facial recognition to arrest people (especially at protests).

This is happening America today. White people ON THE INDIAN RESERVATION telling Native Americans their own rituals are 'satan worshipping' and then expelling them from their "better" religious schools. it's absolutely fucking sickening y'all www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

They took part in Apache ceremonies. Their schools expelled them for satanic activitieswww.theguardian.com Educators on the Fort Apache Reservation have repeatedly condemned teens for participating in a sacred dance. It follows a pattern of Christian discipline begun more than a century ago

Family always spoils me on the anniversary of my strokes. I'm getting crazy amounts of love and attention this weekend ❤️ The odds of my survival without my brain surgeries were nil, and the odds with them were about 50/50 each time for two surgeries. I'm lucky. Very, very fucking lucky.

Fam, it's my 4th birthday

It's been four years since my wife Heather had severe strokes and needed two brain surgeries. It's been four years since she survived! Her recovery has been amazing, she's highly active and in better shape than me. We celebrate every year now and I'm so glad she's here with us 🥰

47-67% of trans people in the US report a history of depression; 56-64% experience loneliness. And this data was collected in 2022, prior to 2023's massive legislative assault on trans people's rights at the state level across the country. This is bad www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes...

Just had my first blood test post-orchi, pretty soon we'll see how much this cratered my T 📉

Whether it's the Pura D'or shampoo, minoxidil, getting my hormone levels back in range, or a combination of these, I've had way less hair falling out over the last six months 🧜‍♀️
