7 graphs that will challenge your intuition:

1. The Relative Value of Higher Education

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.

NEW: Louisville’s mayor says Kentucky law would make him a criminal if he destroys the assault rifle a gunman used in the bank mass shooting. The killer’s rifle was confiscated; Kentucky law requires state police officials to sell at auction. #kyleg https://t.co/7BtH8z6Hvx

On this Transgender Day of Visibility, Michelle and I want every trans person in America—and around the world—to know that we see you and we stand with you. Every LGBTQIA+ person deserves to feel safe and protected.

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

Never played an encore in drag before but we did just that in Ponte Vedra FL tonight.

Wouldn’t have thought to do it but all the attention from Florida politicians convinced us to try.

Kinda liked it.

Thanks for the idea Ron DeSantis!

Just noticed that the abandoned pier down by the South Philly Walmart where the Chicken Guy ate the chicken is now officially called "Chicken Pier" on Google Maps.

14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more.

Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone “I love you”

When will this end?
