Reuters covering long wait times for gender dysphoria treatment is a good sign.
This goes beyond waiting for blockers or hormones, as the article makes clear. It includes access to any sort of counseling on this issue, w/ young people waiting multiple yrs to even talk to a therapist.

[HERE IS AN ALTERNATE VERSION OF THIS POST SPECIFICALLY FOR BOOMERS]
When you try to message a friend on Mastodon but they've used more than one server
RT @eaton@twitter.com
Aha, we’ve reached the “mod loses his shit and starts adding new rules because he had a bad day, banning people who notice and posting angry tirades” stage of the webforum meltdown arc
Hmm. Maybe I need a gyrocopter. 🤔

If you were wondering, "Is Elmo still having content on Twitter which mentions the word Mastodon and/or links to an article about Mastodons flagged with content warnings?", Magic 8 Ball says, "Yes.":
Every news outlet should stand up a Mastondon instance for their reporters & staff.
It’ll be great to see GivennameFamilyname@mastodon.famousnewspaper.com or whatever domain they want to use.
Built in verification. Every reporter for the Washington Post on a washpo domain. Every reporter for the New York Times on an NYTimes domain. Etc, etc.
Plus the “local” feed for each instance becomes a feed of all the posts from that institution mixed together — providing extra discovery.

Remember folks, be kind to your neighbors, mods, and instance owners but no quarter for fascists.
May the servers be robust 🙏 🖖
At this 3rd anniversary of the start of the pandemic I’d like to thank the scientists, health and social care workers, and essential front line workers who saved millions. Many literally owe you their lives. It’s rare that I ask this but please consider reblog/boost to spread gratitude. I will never forget or forgive those who spread anti-science ignorant disinformation. Usually for financial and/or political objectives. And it continues. Vigilance is still needed. Greetings from Switzerland.
