That’s the sad thing here—puberty blockers give kids, their families, and their healthcare provider time to figure things out before the permanent changes of a dysphoric puberty.
And puberty blockers have been used for decades for cis-kids without any controversy—but for trans kids—apparently that’s a bridge too far.
The Cass report found exactly what it was commissioned to find, and misrepresents the research.
The science is clear, gender-affirming care saves lives.
Today I got notice on Facebook that several of my posts from last year were removed for violating community standards on cybersecurity—they were all links to articles from The Reflector.

So as the title says, I run a homelab with various technologies — Proxmox, Home Assistant, a reverse proxy, lots of Ubiquiti equipment, and so on.

I always write up my own guide as I'm going in case I need to recreate it. Some of those I write up and post on my own website in case anyone else needs it in the future. Still, sometimes I'm not really sure what finally fixed the problem (e.g., I had a weird issue between CloudFlare and DEVONthink Server that finally resolved but is ridiculously easy to break--and I'm still not sure why the "solution" works...).

I'm a HUGE 1Password fan--and have been for years. It is always the very first app I install on any device. Paid for every upgrade since v4 when I discovered it.
I was sceptical of the switch to Electron, but it's just the front end. The backend is written in Rust and performance has been great. It's not native, but that's a current trend right now...

@mikkL I've used Getting to Inbox Zero via @jilleduffy task template for Todoist for many years. I can't find a link to the template anymore, but Todoist has an article that covers the basics.
One of the key parts for me is spending time each morning reviewing incoming email and either addressing it immediately, or adding it to Todoist to address later.
With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...
I'm a bit late to this, but a couple of things we did when the kiddos were younger:
Favorite blanket, pillow, and stuffy
A sunshade for their seat
Ask at EVERY rest stop, "Who needs to pee?" and then stop at every single one if needed...(and then everyone gets out to stretch even if they don't need to pee)
Love the ideas mentioned above about small toys wrapped up. We did variations on this.
I see stories about how election is rigged or that there are security vulnerabilities and lots of people don't believe the outcome. Why don't they just open source everything so that anyone can look at the code and be sure the votes are tallied correctly?
In Washington we have all early voting results and some of the early results from that day by the time polls close on election day. Then an update each day with those processed that day with the remainder that trickle in over the next couple of weeks (e.g., mail in ballots from overseas, challenged ballots that need to be "cured") until the election is certified.
Most places where there is a delay, it is intentional and written into law/regs--like, that each ballot and its signature has to has to be verified by a human before it can be scanned. And, if, hypothetically, a party wanted to cast doubt on an election, they could send representatives to challenge each and every ballot and slow the process down--and simultaneously cry foul that the process is taking so long. But no one would do that, right? /s
