Followed by this:
“It is “highly unusual” for the academy to axe events with international speakers, said Kristopher Kaliebe, a psychiatrist at the University of Southern Florida who organized the panels. And it was odder still given that the speakers were some of the biggest names in gender medicine, most with a long track record of transitioning children.”
“I am deeply disturbed to learn another school district has put at risk the safety and privacy of transgender and gender nonconforming students by adopting a forced outing policy,” notification to parents before putting a child on a path to lifetime medication Bonta said in the Friday, Aug. 11, statement.
“a convicted pedophile is the individual who had been protected by swimming pool staff after mothers expressed concerns about his presence in the women’s locker room. Parents and concerned citizens had been sounding the alarm about the man, who some say they had caught watching their young daughters undress, but were told he had a right to use the facilities as a “transgender woman.””
Trump holds populist positions rather than conservative. The problem is he wants to be king.
Extreme wings of both parties seem to be running things and what we get is more conformity.
RFK is a nihilism candidate. Every now and then they pop up to challenge “the orthodoxy” which needs to be challenged, but no one takes them seriously.
It’s a shame because we need a serious challenger right now, but then again, the guy who wants to be king is currently likely the other nominee, so no one but a nihilist candidate will try.
When my father died, my sisters decided they couldn’t hold the service for him right then because there was a birthday in that month, there was a holiday in the next month, so on and that they didn’t want the kids to associate the birthday / holiday with grandpa dying.
The problem was it left the rest of us in unresolved grieving for 3 months.
Family is hard to please, but I’d serve the new potatoes unless your mother has said something about new potatoes.
From medical Reddit:
“Now that two studies have failed to report meaningful benefit we can no longer say, as we could as recently as 2021, that the short-term benefits are so strong that they outweigh the potential long-term risks inherent in permanent body modification. Some non-trivial number of patients come to regret these body modifications, and we can no longer claim in good faith that there are enormous short term benefits that outweigh this risk. The gender affirming clinicians had two bites at the apple to find the benefit that they claimed would justify these dramatic interventions, and their failure to find it is much greater than I could have imagined two years ago.”
“his position as the music director at the New Harvest Church of God”
Welp, they do try to claim the only people who molest children are preachers…
Newsom has agreed to a debate with DeSantis (on Fox). Mother Jones tweeted, “no debate” but on the grounds raw presidential ambitions is unseemly. If they’re aware of the outright lies the Ds have spread about Florida (among some truths), they don’t mention it.
MJ twitter followers cried, Newsom will wipe the floor with him. I don’t know how good DeSantis is at debating, and I doubt his intentions, but I will be watching.
I wouldn’t vote for either, but I will watch the show.
Lefty men are largely reason feminism has become a “mommy needs to do everything for everyone” movement.
P.S. the bit about the ironing board is bullshit, which renders the rest dubious, not to take away from anyone's achievements, design is iterative, and it is always a collective process, but misinformation is a disservice.

Thx. There is a tendency for over eagerness in “first of” lists, but black women are overlooked so often I can see why.
Men don’t like sweets? Hah.
So fucked up they don’t understand eating habits.
I think it means “I’m a slacker, but I put a lot of thought into it”
“Old lady” (probably means in her late 30’s).
but the law was originally built around a religious practice (altho, a lot of farmers would go ahead an milk the cow).
I pulled up a encyclopedia to take a gander (been quite a while since I read anything about labor history). Looks like it varied across the world, the Swiss getting there first, but mostly laws followed by enforcement around late 19th to the 1940’s.
All I know is workers in the US don’t get enough time off.
took me a while to get the right emoji🙃
Yer, they used to have the Sabbath. The 6 day workweek was common.
(this one is out of Australia)
“Yes, our evidence is weak
“A leading gender clinician acknowledges the low-quality evidence base and says he no longer regards puberty blockers as a “pause” button for children”
