I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no Social Safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish garbage person.

Seriously, @netflix, not even a response? I lost my profile and all my game progress, and y’all aren’t even like “oh yeah, we SHOULD fix this”?

Just FYI, @netflix , if you actually want people to play your games, you need to make sure random profile deletion doesn’t happen! I lost my profile AND lost all my gameplay! Sincerely, someone who no longer plays your games 🤷‍♀️

Nebraska filibuster for trans rights! Sen. Cavanaugh has announced she will grind the NE legislature to a halt over a bill that would force the medical detransition of trans youth! "If you try to pass this bill, it will be very painful for this body."

Tesla recalls nearly 363,000 cars with 'Full Self-Driving' to fix flaws in behavior

Tesla is recalling the vehicles to fix problems with the way the "Full Self-Driving" system behaves around intersections and following posted speed limits. The fix will come in a software update.

Spain is kicking butt - trans rights, abortion rights, sick days for period pain? YES PLEASE npr.org/2023/02/16/115748090…

Spain approves menstrual leave, teen abortion and trans laws

Among the enacted changes, 16- and 17-year-olds will be allowed to undergo an abortion without parental consent. And workers suffering debilitating period pain can take paid time off.

Gender affirming care saves lives! A new study in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive surgery shows AMAZING satisfaction rates. Of all people who received gender affirming surgery (1,989 sample size), only 6 patients - 0.3% - regretted it and wanted to detransition.

Any trans people have nice little stories of gender affirmation or just being a good ally from cis people? One of my faves is when we had a work retreat with my office, and the plan was to have a house for the boys and a house for the girls.

Two-Spirit (trans people) predate non-Native settler-invaders and their transphobic religious rhetoric, on this continent, by thousands of years.
