I'm a paramedic. We need a new emergency service specifically for dealing with mental heath issues. While paramedics like me have basic mental health training, we are still not in the best position to help these people. We try our best but we have too little resources and staff.

The @goodlawproject want to hear about #trans folx' experience with #gender based exclusion since the guidance came out in UK telling companies/orgs to exclude trans people from gendered spaces
Here's the link.

I'm sure boosts would be welcome.

Intensely disappointed to see, once again, the trans people of England & Wales being left with no political party that is free from transphobia.

I joined the Greens last year after it seemed like they'd changed things around and started to actively push out the TERFs within their ranks, but apparently this is no longer the case.

The following is a statement by Eleanora Folan on Bluesky:

#DollyParton still doing good after her death

"Judge strikes down #Texas ban on #drag shows, tells people offended by them ‘just don’t go’"

Judge Hittner cited Dolly in his ruling, pointing out "erotic" elements targeted by #SB12 would apply to Dolly as well

One of the plaintiffs in the case is #BrigitteBandit, a Dolly impersonator. Dolly gifted a rhinestone guitar to Brigitte in 2023

Brigitte will be performing in #Austin on Saturday in Dolly's honor, as Dolly

👏👏👏

You know how far we've fallen when "no artificial intelligence" is called out as a feature.

Kudos, @libreoffice!

LibreOffice 26.8 brings professional typography, deeper support for the world’s writing systems, and no artificial intelligence

We did it!

“The Nerd Reich” is a New York Times Instant Bestseller! My book debuts at #3 on the non-fiction list.

Thanks to all who pre-ordered /bought the book—or requested it at the public library or promoted it on social.

Without you, I’m just an unemployed guy with a laptop. But with you…

Rest in power, Dolly!

Many people mistakenly believe Dolly Parton's song '9 to 5' anthem was titled after the standard workday, but the song and film were actually inspired by the 9to5 social movement which emerged in Boston in the early 1970s.

The 9to5 organization was led by women workers who advocated for pay equality and rights in the workplace. It is one of the foundational protest movements of modern feminism and one of the most significant organic worker uprisings in American history.

When people retell Dolly's legacy, be sure to include her undying solidarity with working people who take a stand in the struggle for equality.

From Fight For a Union

In an internet full of trolls, be an elf.

Leave a nice comment for a maker you admire. Encourage folks struggling as you have struggled. Post some life affirming shit.

No one needs to be reminded it’s looking bleak. But folks could certainly use all the hope they can get right now.

RIP Dolly Parton

an amazing woman with an amazing heart and capacity for love. She turned Appalachian roots into global art

Her love knew no bounds. She gave with everything. 150M+ books via her Imagination Library, $1M for vaccine research, and a lifetime of lifting working families.

I’m crying while I write this. You will be missed ❤️

I once saw a post, probably from Tumblr, that said “In this age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk as fuck.”

#DollyParton was punk as fuck and her kindness will be sorely missed.

More of this, please: "A group of #transgender men who call themselves the 'SB244 compliance crew' have been using women’s bathrooms in protest of a #Kansas law that mandates that they do so." https://www.them.us/politics/kansas-trans-guy-bathroom-ban

Well, well, well, I KNEW that the hounding of Arday was gonna get connected back to the TESCREAL bozos somehow. See this "paper" by the guy who hired Cofnas at Ghent University.

Reminder "dysgenic" is the opposite of "eugenic," they mean Black people and other undesirables reproducing too much.

Reminder, the L in TESCREAL is for "longtermism."

"Be harmless weird instead of evil weird" does seem like better advice for our times.
