If anyone can afford to help me out at all, I'd be so grateful. I REALLY need some money for groceries... I'm completely broke, pregnant, and very hungry :'( Also, as of recently I've been living at a Motel 6, but if I can't come up with my room fee by the morning, I'll be thrown out. (I have to pay the front desk $100 tomorrow, by 11AM) Anything helps...Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

i hope there's no rule against this sort of thing - the CPB's vile reactionary line has been on the frontpage, and the comments had a bunch of people bemoaning the lack of a decent left org in the UK, so i thought it'd be worth mentioning that there is a worthwhile org out there (doubtless there are others too, but IMHO rs21 seem the best of the bunch IMHO!)

"rs21" stands for Revolutionary Socialism in the 21st Century. they're not a party per se, but several of their members have contributed to the "Party Question" series of articles published by Prometheus Mag in recent months, which is worth looking at if you don't follow Prometheus already.

I lost my child Karim’s leg, I lost my home and my job, and we no longer have a life like humans. Please help. We are tired of this situation. We have become beggars. Why all this? https://gofund.me/a1174ab9

Strides Pharma has recalled over 400,000 cartons of its Testosterone Gel 1% across the U.S. and Canada due to trace amounts of benzene, a known carcinogen. Although no injuries have been reported, transgender patients who use the gel are urged to review lot numbers and speak with providers about safe alternatives. This recall affects both 2.5-gram and 5-gram unit-dose packets distributed since 2023.

Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells 🥚, seashells 🐚, and pearls 🦪 are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (~~Veryovkina~~ Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

Lots of interesting trends happening right now in transphobia. Rowling is temporarily refocusing on the ace community. Intersex people are being discussed on the floor of the Texas House. Here’s my called shot. I think a lot of transphobes, especially politicians, are going to start dropping the pretense of caring about “biological sex”.

The truth is that the biology doesn’t support them and they’re increasingly being called on it. Half assed ally libs are learning how to bring up intersex conditions and push back against the idea that it’s an immutable binary. Yet even the christofascists pretend to give a shit about what biology says when making their appeals to biblical truth, referring to “biological sex” and “chromosomes” in the same breath as claiming they’re speaking the word of an ancient god whose prophets had no such concept. I think that particular mask is gonna come off real soon.

They don’t care what doctors say. They don’t care what biologists say. People are learning their talking points. So next iteration, they’re gonna come up with a new term like “god-given sex” to really make clear what they’re getting at.

The Supreme Court has eased the procedure for correcting gender in documents. What changes does the new resolution make, and what absurdity has been eliminated?

On March 4, 2025, the Civil Chamber of the Supreme Court passed a landmark resolution on the procedure for correcting gender in documents. The change eliminates the need to sue parents in a lawsuit, which was previously required in metric sex determination proceedings.

What will change?

Previously, metric sex determination proceedings were litigated, which meant that there had to be two parties: the plaintiff and the defendants. The defendants were usually the parents of the transgender person, and sometimes the spouse or children. This construction was artificial and resulted from a general provision of the Code of Civil Procedure (Article 189), which allowed lawsuits to be initiated to establish different cases.

“Metric sex determination proceedings were not regulated by law. Until now, it was held in court in a trial, which required two parties. Such a course of action was set by a Supreme Court resolution of June 22, 1989.” - Anna Grudzień-Kurpiewska, legal counsel, explains in a commentary for Wprost.pl.

New solution

The new Supreme Court resolution introduces significant changes. Gender correction proceedings will now be conducted in a non-trial mode, which means there is no need to create a sham dispute between the parties.

“The Supreme Court said that due to the personal nature of these cases, the determination of metric sex should be done in non-trial proceedings. This removes the need for bilateral proceedings and the creation of a fictitious dispute between the transgender person and the parents,” explains Anna Grudzień-Kurpiewska

In non-procedural proceedings, only the transgender person will have an interest. The exception is if the person is married, in which case the circle of interested persons will also include his or her spouse. As Grudzień-Kurpiewska points out, “An existing marriage would become, if the application is granted, a same-sex marriage, which is incompatible with Article 18 of the Polish Constitution.”

Eliminating absurdities

The previous solution was seen as absurd because it required suing the parents, which was not justified in a real dispute.

Anna Grudzień-Kurpiewska adds, “According to the Supreme Court, there are no arguments to justify the claim that the outcome of gender determination cases involves their parents. As a result, the proceedings will proceed exclusively with the participation of a transgender person.”

The new Supreme Court resolution has eliminated this absurdity, allowing transgender people to make gender adjustments without involving their parents in court proceedings. As Anna Grudzień-Kurpiewska comments, “This solution is more flexible and takes into account the personal nature of these cases, which is important for people who are going through this process.”

In summary, the Supreme Court's March 4, 2025 resolution simplifies the gender correction procedure by eliminating the need to sue parents and introducing a non-trial procedure. This solution is seen as groundbreaking and more in line with the needs of transgender people.

tfw this shithole is doing better on trans rights than the US, I was genuinely shocked when this came out

For privacy I don’t wanna say which country.

But lemme go straight into the point, I’m genuinely pissed off from this shitty country I live and it’s extreme hate towards basically anyone not aligned with their views such as anti-lgbt,at this point I’m convinced the society I live are weirdly obsessed with transgenders and always use the “Xyz trans person brainwashing their kids!!”thingy when they see a transgender couples let’s say and having their own children and all. like dude tf you even want just mind your own business???

Im also someone who wants to get bottom surgery so bad. But my conservative family are obviously strongly opposing it even if I didn’t heard them talking about transgenders, I also slowly started to distrust my family, avoiding them as much as I can, and trying to find a way to like break their restrictions on my life. I’m basically living in the most shittiest country, in a most weird and bizarre family with weird rules, I’m 16 and yet I can’t even afford a phone number and access to social media and have to secretly using it without them noticing. And on top of all that I wanna get bottom surgery. Makes my life absolutely messy and fucked up

Didn't have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they're neat and they taste good.
