1. Today, Governor DeWine has signed one of the most oppressive bathroom bans in the United States. The transgender bathroom ban applies to colleges and universities, including private colleges! It comes as the US has been gripped by Republican bathroom panic. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Something that always falls flat with "civil unions were a stepping stone to marriage" stuff is that A) most places didn't have civil unions legal (only 3 by 2006), and B) Anti-gay laws proliferated after the first two states recognized them. They didn't "help earn marriage equality" at all.

Gresham's law of the internet is the name given to a supposition that unmoderated spaces will always become Nazi hellholes that drive out all good content, alienating posters who aren't Nazis. I can certainly think of one analogue for all of us here on Bluesky. www.thebulwark.com/p/greshams-l...

Seeing very similar numbers, but in fact, not only is Bluesky beating threads for me, it's beating Twitter. So many new people are reading my writing. I think a huge part of it is that the site doesn't deprioritize links... Meaning people actually get to click into my writing. Love it.

1. The New York Times has apparently figured out how we beat transphobia. Jeremy Peters, who has a colorful history on reporting left leaning politics,argues that the right way to beat it is to... Wait for it... Stop being mean to JK Rowling. Subscribe to support my journalism. Lets dig in.

You are not going to believe it when I tell you the first example that this NYT article uses to encourage not being confrontational over transgender rights is that we were too confrontational towards... JK Rowling. The woman who openly denies trans people were ever targeted in the Holocaust.

Serano is pushing an initiative to lobby Democrats not to balk on LGBTQ+ rights for those who write for various platforms for a shared story title on the day the Senate and House are back in session, December 3rd, 2024. I will likely take part.

One kilometer on a bike 🚲 is a € 0.26 economic gain to society, one kilometer driving 🚗 is a € 0.89 loss.



This reporting reveals two things: 1) The NYT is, as always, transphobic as hell. but also... 2) Seth Moulton envisions a "grand bargain" of trading away sports for healthcare rights. The big fear will be, Dems trade away sports now and continue to run on an equality act that never passes.

I continue to hold the position that it was never about sports, and that capitulation on sports only makes it more likely that we get further restrictions. There is very good evidence in states that this is the case. Read my article on this topic here: www.erininthemorning.com/p/opinion-th...

Breaking: Federal Judge allows Blaire Fleming to play after a handful of anti-trans players tried to have her booted. Her own teammate, who is leader of a lawsuit against her, misgenders her throughout. Notably, we do not know if Fleming is actually transgender. Regardless, she will still play!

Presentazione Terre di Hosidius - dalle 20.30 cena popolare
Fri 6:00 PM - 11:30 PM
Balotta
In Molise, nel borgo medievale di Montorio nei Frentani (CB), i terreni della società agricola Fonte Santa Maria dei germani Antonio e Andrea Albino occupano territori di media collina (400-600 mt. s.l.m.), situati nella contrada denominata “Guarenza” (dal germanico wahren, custodire), così detta per l’antica presenza di aree boscose destinate a riserva di caccia e appartenente, alla fine XVII secolo, ai feudatari duchidi Sangro.
Dal 2023 nasce una stretta collaborazione con l’azienda Agricola CAR’SELL nello stesso areale frentano, che aggiunge alle risorse aziendali circa 10 ettari di terreni, inclusi 1.5 ettari di uliveto con varietà autoctone.
I seminativi di entrambe le aziende sono lavorati nel rispetto delle rotazioni previste per le aziende biologiche.
Le coltivazioni principali sono: grano duro, grano tenero, orzo, farro, mais, ceci, fagioli, cicerchie, insieme con altri
legumi e cereali “antichi”, miscugli evolutivi partecipativi (miscugli provenienti dall’ ICARDA di Aleppo, tramite il Prof. Salvatore Ceccarelli) e varietà autoctone.
L’azienda agricola,collabora con la rete degli “agricoltori custodi” dell’ARSIAM (Agenzia per l’Innovazione e lo sviluppo dell’agricoltura nel M olise), anche per la moltiplicazione di alcune “accessioni” di frumenti e leguminose da granella conservate nella Banca del Germoplasma (Farro dicocco Molise Colli, mais Agostinello, etc.). Ha selezionato negli anni una varietà di orzo nudo nero, coltivato nei campi sperimentali annuali, oltre che segale e miglio.
Nel corso della serata avremo occasione di dialogare con loro e cenare con i loro prodotti


News has just broke that Trump plans to eject trans people from the military within days of inauguration. Trans servicemembers who have served 19 years will lose their pensions and healthcare. This is obscene. They served our country, and will be kicked to the side like trash.

in reply to Erin Reed

I want to add that these trans people serve in critical roles in the military, they aren’t expendable. The military has spent time and money training them, and they have served honorably. This makes the military weaker, dishonors the service members themselves, and will be a dark stain.
