@keetmuise My spouse and I are the only ones at work or our friends groups still masking inside. N95 FTW.

@iamharaldur I like seeing some of the arguments on here. I think there are a lot of good faith arguments against "woke" but they tend to boil down to an unwillingness to face how integral historical and present oppression is to our current social order.

Good morning!

Reminder: healthcare can never have a “free market” because the demand is always there.

It’s unethical to profit off illness.

Insulin should be free.
Medicine should be free.
Healthcare should be free.

Healthcare workers will still be paid.

@tommgran What in the actual fuck did I just see?

[Dr Helen Webberley (she/her) @HelenWebberley]

If you've ever bought Viagra, you've purchased gender-affirming care.

You know what else counts as gender-affirming care?

👉Hair transplants.
👉Breast enhancements.
👉Eyelash extensions.
👉Hormone therapy.
👉Lip filler.
👉Facelifts.
👉Haircuts.

@MarkRuffalo Ruffalo shouldn't fly in private jets, but it doesn't make this any less true.

@LukeBarnett *well done

[Professor Inkling @cephalopadawan]

@LukeBarnett Just watched. Couldn't tell how many times you were gonna twist on me! Fuck dude. Week done. Thank you.

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.

The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.

"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.

However...

Let's address that 0.3%.

Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:

👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.

Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.

The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.

Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

@LukeBarnett Oh shit, that looks fun. Adding that to my list of movies to watch when the kids are at the grandparents.

People don’t have to live under constant fear of the Supreme Court.

We can’t sit on our hands while these justices carry out the bidding of right wing organizations.

Expand the Court.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

@dbrauer Some minisplits have heat pumps but some do not. The technology has been improving so fast that even the heat pump I got 3 years ago is far less effective than the ones on the market now.

I thought I was getting an ad for @IfBooksPod on YouTube.

What we actually did was bar universities from requiring students to sign a faith statement as a condition of enrollment but… ok. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@The_VaughnWolff I'm a carpenter. I know aspects of my job that are unethical and I know there's a huge gradient of degrees of ethicallity(?) In the field, so I'm curious what you'll point out.

@NewsHour How is this not deleted yet? Awful, horribly biased framing.

@diannaeanderson Take a good hard look at the mother fucking boat!

[D. Russo (He/Him) @DRusso97]

What is happening to trans people nationwide--most especially in areas under GOP control--is genocide...full stop.
We can debate which *stage* of genocide we are currently in, but labeling it "genocide" is factual. The only remaining question is "what happens next?"
