Superheroes Are Dorks

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

Scientific contributions and discoveries made by people of color, women, and non-advanced degree holders so often get swept under the rug or erased entirely and Grace made sure Carl was recognized.

NPR Report: Trump's HHS abandons threat to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care

---

That pressure has come in the form of this proposed rule, another rule that would bar federal Medicaid reimbursement for transgender pediatric patients, and a declaration from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that aimed to redefine the standard of care. (Interestingly, the press release issued when those actions were unveiled in December is now missing from the HHS website, as is the Kennedy declaration document.) The Medicaid rule is currently in the final stage of review and appears to be on track to take effect in the coming weeks. A coalition of Democratic-led states sued over the so-called Kennedy declaration and succeeded in blocking it in federal court in Oregon. The Trump administration has not appealed that decision so far.

If the cops ask Tumblr who a user is, Tumblr gives them your ISP information. If you are using a VPN, then the cops will ask your VPN provider, and (unless you chose your VPN specifically because it doesn't comply with US warrants, and have kept a close eye on if it's changed policy/ownership) your VPN will then give your information to the cops, sometimes including all of the sites you've accessed through the VPN if your VPN provider keeps logs.
