reminder that gazafunds is a great website.
each time you load the site, it shows one randomly selected, verified fundraiser that's low on funds.
extremely straightforward, & an easy to remember url. it's my go-to when I'm able to give; removes any room for procrastination or overthinking.

Ryan Grenoble at HuffPost:
Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor issued a bitter dissent Wednesday, reading it aloud from the bench after the Supreme Court upheld a Tennessee law that bans gender-affirming care for minors on a 6-3 vote. “By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent,” said Sotomayor. “Transgender adolescents’ access to hormones and puberty blockers (known as gender-affirming care) is not a matter of mere cosmetic preference. To the contrary, access to care can be a question of life or death.” Transgender people already have to contend with structural discrimination, noted Sotomayor, because they’re extremely underrepresented in government and therefore unable to use political power to ward off discriminatory treatment. The justice reserved particular scrutiny, however, for a provision of Tennessee’s law, known as SB 1, that hypocritically permits doctors to prescribe gender-affirming care to children to align their physical appearance with their sex assigned at birth ― but not the opposite. [...] The justice said the court’s willful ignorance of that fact “does irrevocable damage to the Equal Protection Clause” and invites state legislatures to “engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight.” “It also authorizes, without second thought, untold harm to transgender children and the parents and families who love them,” she said in closing. “Because there is no constitutional justification for that result, I dissent.”
God Bless SCOTUS Justice Sonia Sotomayor for saying it like it is on her dissent of the hateful and cruel Skrmetti ruling: “the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims.” Preach, Justice Sotomayor! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

This approximately 10ft long specimen was photographed and then safely relocated back to the ocean, still alive.

I feel like whenever you get too doomer about the idea that the entire population harbors some deep undeprogrammable homophobia you have to remember that in the 2010s hearts & minds were being changed by shit like Glee
