So my four year old's persuasion skill is developing, and she has learned to change her approach when asking for something she anticipates I will say no to. That is, instead of asking for it, she comes up to me and opens with, "Mom, I have a great idea." and then proceeds to lead me to the thing she wants before asking for it.

Two years after being tasked with commissioning a review of medical evidence surrounding gender-affirming care for trans youth, Utah’s own state health department has concluded that trans healthcare bans “cannot be justified.” The Republicans who commissioned the study aren’t too happy about it.

Back in 2023, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill that placed an indefinite “moratorium” on doctors prescribing gender-affirming care like hormone therapy and puberty blockers to trans youth. That bill ordered the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to compile their report in order to produce recommendations for the state government on whether or not to lift the moratorium.

This week, the department delivered their long-awaited, over 1,000-page report — which is dated August 6, 2024 — to Utah lawmakers. The report’s authors found that “the consensus of the evidence supports that the treatments are effective in terms of mental health, psychosocial outcomes, and the induction of body changes consistent with the affirmed gender in pediatric GD [gender dysphoria] patients.”

The authors added that “the evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer.” Trans youth who had received gender-affirming care were within the bounds of normal, non-pathological ranges for these conditions.

y’all this is huge. please don’t “water is wet” all over it! I understand that we all already know this… The point is that the world doesn’t know or care or believe and so these studies really fucking matter!

it's always bad for adults to interact with minors, which is why when I was born my mother was positioned at the window and I was birthed down a giant slip n slide that safely transported me to the hospital grounds, where I was quickly accepted and raised by a gang of feral babies who were born under similar circumstances. and that's why my posts are so bad

Ollie loves to have the bases of his ears massaged with my thumbs and whenever I do it for him his eyes close and pushes so hard into it that he has to brace with his legs to avoid falling over and he purrs, and every time I do it I think about how he can’t do that for himself on his own, and how wonderful and strange it is that our two species happened to evolve in a way that allowed a bread loaf-sized obligate carnivore capable of receiving the most satisfying ear rub imaginable, but only from a giant omnivorous ape

Sometimes it's okay to sound pretentious. Telling my grandma, "I think I just have a broader spectrum of appreciation for beauty than you do," got her to stop going on her fucking "real beauty" tirades to me about how ugly she thinks piercings and tattoos are every time she saw someone with a noes ring or colored hair.

I love that vocaloid has had a resurgence recently and the whole hatsune miku being treated like a real celebrity thing is nice and all, but do not let that trick you into attributing songs to her!!!!

There are real people making these songs, and they deserve credit. Back in the day, Wowaka (RIP) left the vocaloid community out of frustration that his songs kept being credited to Hatsune Miku. That's like saying a Bach song was written by "Piano". She is an instrument, remember that!

I have a really distinct voice in my head for Mariella (mouse mom) but "nice cardiac nurse from austin texas I treated for heat related illness a year ago who sounded enough like my ex to make me nostalgic but not to the point where it was uncanny" doesnt mean anything to anyone but me. Like she would speak at the lower end of her pitch but still nice and smooth. Maybe a similar cadence to Emma Stone but if she were veeerry relaxed.

I don't have as distinct a voice for Rusty he kind of just sounds like a guy from the gas station to me. I feel like the vocalist of Never Ending Carnival by Bedsiders, a catchy but obscure song that I have no idea how I got on my spotify playlist, fits him pretty well.
