This is horrifying, and I’m going to thread resources below about how you can help in this situation and/or what resources you can use if you’re an affirming parent or educator in Texas right now

[Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com on Bsky @ErinInTheMorn]

If you are in Texas, the safest nearby state to go to is likely going to be Colorado and New Mexico.

If you are a parent with a trans kid and are looking to escape these issues from ever popping up again in your life, any state in dark green is best.

This is monstrous, I don't think I have the words adequate to describe just how horrifying this is, I can't imagine what trans youth and their families are going through right now, this is a nightmare and will end up hurting so many people. It is breathtakingly cruel.

@kaytoremember I dunno, I think they could have used ‘kind/ly’ a few more times to really get the point across

Would like to take a moment to celebrate this handsome boi when we adopted him two years ago, and then yesterday. Happy to announce he has grown into all his body parts, well done Bobby.

Today's numbers: Houston-area COVID hospitalizations ⬆️ for 20th straight day, to 2,531.
The Texas Medical Center, largest hospital complex on 🌎, is operating at 106% of its base ICU capacity.

[Zach Despart @zachdespart]

🚨 Houston-area COVID hospitalizations are rising at a rate higher than almost any time during the pandemic.
# has tripled in the past month.
54% here fully vaxxed (which means ~2 million people aren't)
I'll post this slide daily but bottom line: #Delta variant *very* dangerous.

Rain fell hard and fast across Houston on Tuesday.

It exemplified the heavy precipitation that climate scientists expect will become more common as the globe warms.

Here's my latest for @HoustonChron, with insight from @mattlanza @KHayhoe @climatexas: https://t.co/Dljez6294y

Harris County residents. Texans. Please keep wearing your mask and avoiding gatherings. This is all on us now.

[Zach Despart @zachdespart]

Leave it to @DaveLieber to succinctly explain how poorly Texas regulates its utilities.
This would be funny column if it wasn't so damn sad. ➡️

One last update (I think!): We just hit $5 million raised for Texans across the state.

Thank you ALL for your collective action when people need it most.

Charity can’t replace policy, but solidarity is how we’ll face climate change and build a better world. 💪🏽🌎

Thank you 🙏🏽

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I can’t believe we’ve surged past $3 million for Texas!

Houston Food Bank is using resources like these to try to get 30,000 meal boxes out in the next TWO days.

They’re just 1 of 12 Texas orgs were now partnering with.

Let’s keep going!

Even as the lights come back on, we’re facing a food and water crisis in Harris County, Texas.

If out-of-state folks are looking for a way to help, please consider donating to the @HoustonFoodBank

[Zach Despart @zachdespart]

Good morning. How is everyone doing?

CenterPoint made great progress overnight restoring power. They say just 2% remain out, about 46k customers.

The main remaining problem is water pressure, which millions of Houston-area residents have not had since Monday. Y'all got water?
