LBGTQ
A significant amount of evidence supporting positive outcomes of treatment, under the standard of care, of trans adolescents --but not much "high quality clinical evidence" as some would require in this particular arena vs. no significant or quality evidence that not treating trans adolescents leads to positive outcomes Unless you think treatment regret appearing to be 1-10% (and 10% very generously) is a huge thing... While the culture warriors try to catch up on their very particularized outrage about the audacity of trans people existing and seeking treatment, the evidentiary default of "do no harm" has shifted the burden to the non-treaters.

For a city manager, I think Gronk would be a lot more fun than Cronk. Someone make the call.

Have any of y’all been restored without getting text notice of a crew being assigned? Is the info on the outage map being updated as far as whether crew is assigned, eta etc—- I think AE said they’re not updating it because all resources are in the field? Feeling really hopeless in 78757 and dreading going into office without lighting or shower to get ready … not to mention all the morning tasks with dog and getting kid to school. 121 customers in my outage, another 138 one street over

Well I see the city decided an hour ago that we met the threshold to be able to declare an emergency— in order to access FEMA funds and get more statewide help. As if Wheels wouldn’t have discretion to do that regardless?? And Williamson Co declared one on TUESDAY. Interesting shit.

I’m aware… but can’t our new mayor schmooze an actual response from the shithead, who also happens to lives here, like we hired him (Watson) to do? I don’t know, this is obviously more than Austin can handle, the extra crews aren’t enough

Where’s our esteemed governor in all this to get us more outside help for repairs?? All I’ve seen from him is how great the grid is holding up and that people here should report damage. Venal prick.

No power on our side of the street in Crestview (78757) there’s going to be a particular subset of PTSD named for Austin

LBGTQ
From what aspect of gender-affirming care is the positive impact on this population coming, in your opinion? Genuine question. Or do you think trans kids about to go through the immutable effects of puberty should not be treated until we have certain high-grade evidence that you deem worthy, against the opinion of endocrinologists, psychiatrists, child development experts, etc? When I see people with no personal experience or expertise on this issue take a stance like this, it comes across like 100+ suicides would just be the price to pay so long as 1 minor doesn't end up regretting treatment, or detransitioning.

LBGTQ
It's much better if trans people stay confused, closeted, and stigmatized until late in life or forever, so they have to try to be people they aren't and screw up marriages, families, etc. just like it's always been (and the gays too), instead of having awareness and being allowed to figure it out when they're much younger and can avoid the devastating outcomes that befall untreated trans folks.

Leopard missing from Dallas Zoo
I remember when the gorilla escaped and they shot him to death. So all this is making me side eye the Dallas Zoo even more. SMH

well my job's policy is we only get to work from home (in addition to our regular 2 days a week) if AISD cancels for weather. So if the kid ain't home, neither am I. Whomp whomp

The destruction of America's public education system
Disgusting. So any idiot loser nut can get on SBOE, even if they just got kicked off a school board. Great.

Dave Navarro has long covid, so Josh Klinghoffer touring with Jane's.
That sucks, as Dave makes the band as much as Perry. I admit I kind of side-eye his health reasons based on his history, but will always give empathy to someone who discovered his mom brutally murdered when he was just a teen.

Bill Maher has become the whiny little bitch he complains about
I've always just found him to be a shallow contrarian and a misogynist. He sucks ass.

So we're all good without any reform of Robin Hood/school funding, and we'll just bleed more money out of public education with voucher nonsense? Cool cool Race to the bottom at hand

4 University of Idaho students killed in home - Suspect in Custody
Touch DNA is a lot less valuable and reliable for identifying a particular person than blood, semen, etc. A good defense attorney can make some hay out of it if it's only touch DNA.

What the fuck is wrong with you Allen,TX
Good for them for getting out. North Texas needs to clean its house in a big way. There should be consequences for the absurd amount of racism in that area -- says me, a former resident who has to visit now and then
