I know of hundreds of families with trans kids who have fled southern states. I know about a dozen others who just flat out left the country permanently. People are doing what people did when fascism came, but conservatives don't see those people as human beings so they don't count.

#fedilab is my favorite. I like it because it is simple, does the job without getting in my way. The developers have not introduced drastic changes that make the app unrecognizable over the years. Why break or change things if it simply works? That is the best thing about it.
By the way, #fedilab is not exclusively a "Mastodon" app. These days I use it for my #Pleroma account. I used to use it for #Mastodon when I previously had a Mastodon account. You can actually use it for many platforms that use #ActivityPub :)
CARTING. The punishment formerly inflicted on bawds, who were placed in a tumbrel or cart, and led through a town, that their persons might be known.

Got back from my mini-tour down the Silver Comet! After a later than expected start and some mechanical issues I didn't make my goal of doing my first century, and *still* haven't done the Chief Ladiga trail (I turned around at the border and came back to camp where I knew I could get more water), but I had a great time none the less.
Total distance for both days was 135.37 miles with an average moving speed of 10.4 mph. Max speed was 29.5 mph down a particularly steep hill!

A new survey reveals 5 to 19 million tons of lithium reserves in Southwest Arkansas — that’s enough lithium to potentially meet global EV demand ninefold by 2030. 😳
The EV industry is far from perfect, but they are key components to decarbonizing our economy and combating climate change.
Further, EVs are much more efficient use of energy 👇🏼
