On this day of blessed memory—the 80th anniversary of the start of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising—let us honor those rebellious Jews who fought back against the Nazis, because “we have always fought back.”

Yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey had a site put up to narc on trans people in Missouri (and likely out of state, too):

https://ago.mo.gov/file-a-complaint/transgender-center-concerns

However, the site doesn't do any kind of bot filtering, data validation, or even location validation (so long as you use a VPN and switch locations up!).

With that, class... UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WHATSOEVER SHOULD YOU USE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPT TO FLOOD THE SITE WITH FALSE INFORMATION!! That would be very, very naughty!! 😈😈😈

the fascists are at it again, asking missouri citizens to report on one another for providing gender affirming care

https://www.thepinknews.com/2023/04/18/missouri-trans-gender-affirming-care-andrew-bailey/

they want people to fill out that form? i'm sure the internet is more than willing to help with all sorts of creative submissions. have at it, fedi

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Edit 2024: They went IPO.

Hunter S. Thompson is a sort of hero/antihero of mine.

Quote from article: Once the Nazis took power they banned books, outlawed drag shows and homosexuality, changed school curricula to remove mention of their atrocities in WWI, and rewrote election laws so they’d never again lose an election.

My thoughts: A whole bunch of people, myself included, started pointing out parallels between the Trump-era GOP and the Nazis well before he was elected. We were accused of employing hyperbole, and told to "give him a chance."

Well, just call me Cassandra ... because here we are.

Just. Like. I. Said. We. Would. Be.

Fun fact: during early development the gonads of the human fetus remain undifferentiated; that is, all fetal genitalia are the same and are phenotypically female.

- So, if biological sex can't be changed,
- And if life starts at conception,
- Then all men are trans.

Sorry, Republican men. You made the rules.

On this day, 15 April 1945. British troops liberated the Nazi concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen. Anne Frank had died there a few weeks earlier. My grandfather was one of the British troops. When asked, he refused to speak about it. He still occasionally had nightmares 50 years later on.

Any missourians about to lose trans healthcare in the KC metro area, the University of Kansas hospital is right across the border and I can personally vouch that their trans healthcare team is amazing, they've had some ups and downs, but I was a patient with them from 2017 when they started the clinic all the way to 2022 when I left the state.

They do require a letter for HRT, BUT If you're already on hormones they'll help you stay on them while the letter gets sorted out. I hope this helps someone here

Planned Parenthood in the St. Louis region is doing pop-up clinics TODAY Monday 4/17 for new patients looking to start gender-affirming care before Missouri's pending emergency rule goes into effect, more info on their website here- there are options for walk-in appointments and online and phone scheduling, please pass along to anyone you know who might need this https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-st-louis-region-southwest-missouri/patients/our-services/transgender-care

Hi so I don't know if you heard, but an emergency order for my state is effectively ending all gender affirming health care

most see it as "some" or "most", but there's a catch-22 in there. you need severe and persistent gender dysphoria that can't be treated in other ways, but you can't have depressio nor anxiety

the stl trans community could really use your support right now! a few extra bucks could do a lot.
