@WJCondonJr @POTUS What's wrong is that we have a system that makes it more profitable to keep people locked up than to rehabilitate them and let them go. We have a system that makes it more profitable to treat human beings like garbage than to provide decent food and medical care.

@ElieNYC My 13yo & friends are talking about what to do when masks are optional. "Who has a sick parent or a baby brother at home? Let's protect them." It is a disgrace that a lunch table of 7th grade boys is more compassionate and thoughtful than the adults running this country.

@sewistwrites Outdoor event w/2yo, she's blowing bubbles. Another kid nicely asking for a turn, so I said either we could share the bubbles or put them away for a bit. She looked me dead in the eye, held her arm straight out, and slowly poured the whole thing on the ground. Funny/terrifying.

@cmclymer Cis girls will be the primary targets, since trans girls in competitive sports are very, very rare. And it will be BIPOC girls who are "not feminine enough" and need inspections.
