Lots of them definitely are. I'm noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I've lived here.

No they don't, when you include Islamic attacks (which are absolutely right wing as they are religious authoritarian extremists) the number jumps to 96%.

Yeah, actively trying to eradicate is not what I'd call "indifferent."

Which is frankly terrifying. ER docs are only required to do 10 deliveries during residency, which are often as glorified observers. I did nearly 100 deliveries in my rural unopposed FM residency and that was no where near enough to feel comfortable making it a part of my practice.

So, yes, they are going to set records.

Considering I took a suspension for "report abuse/harassment" for reporting someone threatening violence against trans people before I left reddit I think they are intentionally trying to encourage bigotry on the platform.

I don't, it was back in like 2002-3 and the local paper doesn't have their archives up anymore. He ended up having the charges dropped, but months later.

Its crazy how much leeway he is getting. Back during the Bush years a guy in my town had a hang bush sign on a cardboard cutout of him hanging from a tree. The dude was arrested and held for "terrorist threats." The same was not true of similar threats made toward Obama. This was in liberal western Washington. The fascists have always gotten handled with kid gloves in this country and it seriously needs to be addressed if we have any hope of coming out the other side.

Yes on the sewing machine! A good sewing making is pretty cheap in the long run too. My mom has been using the same machine for 30+ years and my cheap brother machine has been holding out great. Plus, if your ambitious you can even re-tailor old stuff to your new fit.

There are like 2 station wagons on the US market. I'd love one, but I'm not into VWs and the Volvo PHEV wagon is only available as a $75,000 performance wagon and no one makes an EV wagon.

Ask about ventrogluteal. Its a spot on your lateral hip.

Its less painful than the thigh and there isn't anything important to hit like the posterior glutes.

It really is. <1-2% of people de transition and of that over 90% cite bigotry and transphobia as the reason. So, 1/1000 to 1/500 is pretty fucking rare. Medical interventions are recommended based on number needed to treat, stains for heart attack need to treat 60 people to prevent one person having a heart attack, for strokes is 238. The NNT for trans people is 1, transition is literally the best supported and effective treatment in medicine.

Hey, born in WA, changed my name while living in Shasta county. I filed my name and gender change request with the county court and a few months later had a court order with the new name and gender. Then I used that court order to change my WA birth certificate.

Definitely agree with getting extra certified copies. The WA DOL will not return the copy you send them.
