I lost something like 20 followers over talking about trans issues and trying to help a family raise money so their memorial to their murdered trans loved one wouldn't get torn down by bigots again. That says something about them, not me.

For years I was told “nobody is going after trans people.” This week, Florida stripped trans youth of their healthcare and the UK government is discussing plans to revise our human right to exist in public. Just fucking believe us when we say people want us gone.

It really shouldn't be what convinces you to support trans rights, but this anti trans sentiment hurts cis people too. People don't stop to think about that when spreading hate.

Minnesota cops said they cannot accept a potential ban on white supremacist affiliation in POST certified officer ranks, cuz it will hurt recruitment. Please let that sink into your every consideration of each and every city/police budget conversation.

I'm pro vaccine, but man. Day 2 after the bivalent and I feel like someone beat my whole a** and made me work out afterward. Brutal. Get the vaccine anyway.

Been playing around with Mastodon. Reminds me a lot of Reddit if it tried to look like twitter. A lot more interaction. I haven't seen as much of the "white fragility" issues on my instance, but I also haven't been around very long so jury's out on that.

For the past several months, I’ve been investigating the case of the Arctic crab collapses. I interviewed observers, whistleblowers, fishermen, government officials, and marine biologists. Here is my published story and a thread of final thoughts: nautil.us/where-have-all…

Finding myself spending way more time on Mastodon than I ever did here. If you enjoy my random musings, you should check it out. It's a much calmer community, and so far I haven't seen the issues on my instance folks have been worried about with poc harassment/censorship.

Did Tucker Carlson REALLY just do a positive segment on BROSCIENCE and play it straight?! That's been a derogatory term in the fitness community for so long the dictionary has picked it up. This is beyond lazy. It's hilarious.

For those wondering, I'm about 90% on Mastodon now. Things are nicer over there and I think the kinks will get worked out over time. Link to my profile in my instance is in my bio.

Okay #doctorsoftwitter I nerd help. My doc is scheduling out weeks later. Went to the er two days ago, they gave me 60 mg prednisone, 1 atrovent hfa inhaler, and high dose guaifenecin. If on day 3 (no taper on script) my right lung is still cracking, should I go back in?
