A federal judge has ruled Florida’s ban on gender-affirming care for minors is likely unconstitutional and has issued an injunction halting enforcement of the ban.
Happy Pride, and thank you, federal judiciary!
Montana's drag ban was applied to a transgender person doing public speaking. No music, no dance, just a trans person and a podium. This is what they want. They want us to be removed from public life. This is identical to what Hitler did with the Nuremberg Laws. Eventually the punishment for us simply existing in public spaces will be jail time. If that makes you uncomfortable, please speak up to whomever will listen. Fixing this requires cis support.
The #Bible has been removed from libraries in Utah after a parent used a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic".
The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227.
A GOP lawmaker expressed "sadness" regarding the situation.

Thought I had finished the semester's print billing Monday. Cut to today when I realized one of the printers has been overcharging students all semester. Now I have to recalculate all of the students print balances by hand by end of day tomorrow. #lordgivemestrength #jackieoeedsadrinkdrink

A quote I saw today on another social that will now live rent-free in my head forever:
"No one wants to work" is just "no one wants to date nice guys", but for employers.
Only with independence can Scotland rejoin the EU and set its own course on major policy decisions in the future.

Not trying to yuck anyone's yum, but I never understood how Feist became so popular while simultaneously being so corny. It's innofensive ™️ music made for aging hipsters to listen to at work parties and TGI Fridays when we inevitably move to the suburbs. #feist #notforme #moderndaymuzack
