This is what I don’t get. I’m a nurse, and since I (ostensibly) have people’s lives in my hand, we are checked and double-checked, have to do continual education, and literally everything we do needs to be documented and audited.

And our goal is always to prevent harm to the patient. Why do people who can legally end someone’s life not have the same, or much more strict, standards (I’m asking this rhetorically, I don’t really want an answer).

It seems like adapting medical licensing and reporting requirements would help get us on the right track, or at the very least help hold police accountable.

I stopped reading when he said hot chips aren’t woke. You don’t even know the rules of your stupid, made-up game.

The Amazon series is fan fiction. This is part of the background story Tolkien wrote.

I’m not really interested in either, as they are both soulless capitalist cash grabs, but I think this has the possibility of being a decent (although completely unnecessary) film .

Just heard Plaineclothes Man for the first time last week. I love it when I find new music that really speaks to me, there’s so much good stuff out there right now.

Better yet, Luthor has Batson in his entourage, so everyone thinks Captain Marvel is rolling at his side all the time. Until Batman realizes it’s just… Billy Batson.

Lol me neither

It’s not as punk, but the last three albums by Metric are brilliant in how they discuss the current state of the world.

I do, the longer it’s been the shorter they are (almost 10 years now). My trigger is seeing someone, usually in a TV or movie, take that long, exaggerated drag.

As a trans girl, I get a lot of interest from other trans girls, so it checks out for me.

Rowsdower!

I’m working to set up connections to folks in Canada that will be willing to relocate LGBTQ folks across the border.

America - where you can get any kind of fast food you want, as long as it’s a hamburger.

I don’t use Linux, but I love penguins, and I want to chill with this Lil guy

I could, but when I get a generic message from a blank profile, I just make fun of them instead.

Correct

Grindr. Cause I’m sure you want to see the ads, lol

The problem is the American system of democracy as it is currently organized is too geared to protect the interests of the ruling class.

I compellingly agree that ranked choice or proportional representation would alleviate many of the issues we have, but, unlike many epochs of human history, we are literally running out of time.

As long as they aren’t getting medical advice from you, I’m good with it.

No, like my initial comment said, number and types of partners are important, as are your partners’ partners.

If you actually read my comment, you can see I’m trying to get people to look past the stigma and actually determine what kinds of risks they have and make safer sex decisions accordingly.

PrEP can have some uncomfortable side effects, and not everyone is able to tolerate it. There are very, very few things in healthcare that we can say “everyone” in a certain cohort should do, and PrEP is no exception.

Your response, which characterizes my post as misinformation, is inaccurate, as I have shown, but I do appreciate the chance to talk about sex and try to normalize it as part of the healthcare discussion 😊
