"California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, signed a first-of-its-kind state law Monday aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ students from having their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression revealed by schools without consent.
The SAFETY Act prohibits schools from enforcing policies that forcibly out a student and shields teachers and other school staff from retaliation if they refuse to obey such policies.Â
The new law makes California the first state to ban outing policies, according to the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus.
Chris Ward, a San Diego Democrat who first introduced the bill in the California Legislature, said in a statement Monday that the SAFETY Act combats a rise in politically motivated attacks on queer and transgender students nationwide.Â
"While some school districts have adopted policies to forcibly out students, the SAFETY Act ensures that discussions about gender identity remain a private matter within the family,â Ward said. âAs a parent, I urge all parents to talk to their children, listen to them, and love them unconditionally for who they are."
The lawâs enactment came nearly a year after Tony Thurmond, the state superintendent of public instruction, said he was forcibly removed from a local school board meeting where he was opposing a district's proposed outing policy, which was eventually blocked in court.Â
âOur teachers can now focus on teaching the critical academic skills that our students need to succeed, not on policing the gender identities of children,â Thurmond said in a statement Monday."

SA + Illegal Termination. Legal Fund
Feeling incredibly discouraged. I want to quit crowdfunding. Itâs so emotionally damaging to my psyche. I feel like Iâm being left out, Iâm not popular enough or good enough to listen to. I feel like Iâm wasting my time and itâs hurting my feelings. I also donât like reliving my assault. BEGGING for allies to advocate on my behalf. I cannot do this alone. I am trying to stop being hyper independent and lean on community.

As we're in the fallout of the 2024 US presidential election, I want to warn my followers to be very, very, very skeptical of any claims that Tr*mp "stole" the election, groups demanding a vote recount, etc. The last thing we need right now is the American Left descending into conspiracy thinking.
Remember that cults and conspiracy theorists target emotionally vulnerable people for recruitment. Such as, you know, someone who is afraid for their safety because of a recent political shift. Be suspicious of anyone saying they can make it all go away and be skeptical of strangers offering help or support.
We are going to see a rise in cult activity in the next few years, because cults thrive on instability. Some of those cults are going to target their recruitment efforts on leftist spaces. Don't let them pull you in.
Stay safe, y'all.

(The Washington Post)
For those who don't know, the US Supreme Court just ruled that states are allowed to enforce trans healthcare for minors. Undoubtedly, this will trigger a wave of other states that either hope to pass or have already passed policies to do the same. This is going to kill children, and harm more in long-lasting ways.
So, how can you help?
FUCKING VOTE. I don't care if you don't like Biden, he's not the only one on the ballot. Vote representatives into your city council who will turn our city into a sanctuary city. Vote for governors and state reps who will, even if they don't pass new protections, oppose bans being pushed through. Chsllenge and kick out conservative incumbents who are banking on their races being obscure enough for people to not vote in.
Anyone telling you voting is useless is either lying to you or grossly uninformed and think saying this is the edgy new take that will make them look hip and informed. Yes, the system is broken. But short of burning the whole thing to the ground (which personally I'm not a fan of as I quite enjoy having like. Roads and the FDA) what we can do is to change it for the better, by starting with the local races and working our way up.
#vio.txt#politics#us politics#lemme tell you when i read this story and my heart sank#the supreme court has set the tone on ruling on trans healthcare#the best thing we can do is ensure those decisions never reach them#this is your reminder that state court justices are an elected position#but god. im deeply worried for the upcoming election#transgender#lgbtq#lgbt#also on another note please vote for biden????? like trump is currently in several trials we cannot give him the power to pardon??????#also im hoping he'll keep erasing student loans

okokokok soooooooo bringing it back to battle of the blondes. letâs set the scene shall we? thereâs a wnba event where all three are present and theyâve all interacted with reader separately(reader could be apart of the event or a media reporter). everyoneâs blonde big 3 are raving about reader to each other (without realize itâs the same person) and when they find out theyâre all talking about readerâŚ..the battle begins (def might have to be a mini series but fs has potential)
thoughts? or prayers ig?
-đŤ§
Ë ŕźâĄ â・Ëâ§Ë°ĘđÉ⥠battle of the blondes,,
paige bueckers x fem!reader, emily engstler x fem!reader, kate martin x fem!reader
*just gonna call reader peach bc i donât want to make an oc, its used like twice for plot purposes.*
oh youâve really done it now.
youâre attending a WNBA event, something pivotal that would launch your career to the next level if it went well, and you might ruin it for yourself just by the way youâre ogling some of the women.
three women in particular.
you really needed this to go well. like, really needed it. you were planning on becoming a social media manager for one of a few teams youâve spoken to and you were using tonight to prove yourself. itâd been going really well and you captured such great content for a few different teams but as soon as you saw them, your heart dropped to the pit of your stomach. just looking at them made you nervous.
kate martin was the first one to approach you, smile wide with a toothy grin that made you blush. she was nervous.
she spotted you as soon as she walked into the space, easily recognizing you from some of the work youâve done with the aces. she even heard talk that youâd be the new content manager, something she could only pray was true.
she found her way to you quickly. but as soon as you were within arms length and already smiling at her, she realized she had no idea what she was going to say to you. she had no plan, no cheesy pick-up line, and she definitely had zero chill.
âhi kate! you wanna film some content?â
yes. but not in the way you were talking about.
âi mean, should i? i donât know, i just saw you and wanted to say hey.â oh god, she was definitely sweating through her undershirt.
âoh okay, well itâs good to see you. howâve you been?â
kate moves closer to you now, leaning down slightly as you talk so she can hear you better. itâs so she can hear you, not because she wants to be as close to you as possible. definitely not. thatâs why when her hand hovers over your spine, gently pressing into you itâs not a big deal because she just canât hear you.
âoh yâknow, iâve been good. i havenât seen you at any practices recently. iâve missed you!â sheâs saying it with a friendly tone, leaning down and fanning her breath over your ear. her words immediately make you blush, a silly smile spreading on your face. she never fails to flatter you.
âaw really? iâve missed you too money martin.â
the blonde laughs and you physically feel it. it isnât until her body shakes your own that you realized youâre leaning into one another. it immediately makes you freeze, eyes scanning the room for disapproving glances because you need to be on your best, most professional behavior.
you donât find what youâre looking for, extremely thankful that everyone elseâs attention is elsewhere. you push away from kate slightly, turning to stand in front of her. her hand reluctantly drops from your spine but her smile never falters because at least youâre still here.
âso.. iâve heard some rumors you might be the new media manager for the aces?â
âoh yeah, well, i donât know. iâve been seeing a couple teams recently.â
âoh?â oh. itâs definitely not kateâs favorite news. she felt like she really bonded with you and she wanted to have you around more, but the lack of confirmation was a little disheartening. you were so talented; all of your photos looked amazing and everyone loved them. plus, you were a sight for sore eyes. really though, kate looked at you like you were the prettiest girl sheâs ever seen. but thatâs because you were.
âare you jealous that other teams get my attention too?â you joke, poking your finger on her shoulder gently.
kateâs blushing uncontrollably, turning the same shade as her red suit. she feels like her body might be on fire simply because of your playful teasing. sheâs so fucking whipped.
âoh, i- i mean, no, of course not. like youâre great so yâknow, iâll miss you and stuff. yeah.â kate curses herself for stumbling over her words, red cheeks turning crimson. you laugh it off though, smiling that big smile youâre known so well for.
âiâm just messing with you kate. i still donât know where iâll end up, wish i could tell you.â
sheâs about to say something else, maybe compliment your pretty dress or the way your hair is done but she canât because someone is calling her name. she pretends like she canât hear it and continues looking at you, but youâre already looking in the direction of the voice calling out to the blonde. kate internally groans, closing her eyes to roll them in annoyance.
âwell, iâll see you around katie. it was really nice getting to talk to you.â
katie. were you giving her a nickname? the simple thought erupts butterflies in her stomach like sheâs never felt before. you make her feel like a love-struck teenager again.
âyeah, yeah. iâll see ya.â she runs her hand down your arm, gently squeezing once she reaches your palm. it feels wildly intimate for your surface level friendship but kate wants you to know. she needs you to. she canât even help herself anymore, looking back to smile at you as she disappears into the crowd.
you take a deep breath, reminding yourself that youâre at a work event, not a tinder date. a few more people approach you after that and vice-versa for some media photos and videos. you take pictures of breathtaking outfits, film funny videos and short interviews, and mingle with team management and owners.
youâre in the middle of conversation with a new york liberty media manager when you feel a familiar presence behind you, a gentle hand gliding over the small of your back.
emily engstler smiled at you as you turned away from the previous and forgotten conversation. you were immediately at ease just by looking at her, pulling her into a swift embrace.
âoh my god emily, itâs so good to see you.â
âi could say the same. thereâs so many people here iâm glad i spotted you.â
emily was part of the team youâd been working with the past few weeks, filming videos and pictures of the washington mystics players to put up on their social media. you two bonded very easily and quickly and it made your job much more fun, so you really grew a keen liking for her.
she felt the same, maybe a little something more than friendly though.
âhow are you? having fun?â
âoh yeah, loads of fun. everyone is so sweet.â it wasnât a lie; other than the soft but increased patter of your heart because of how good she looked, you were doing great.
âyeah? iâm glad. you look really nice by the way. iâve never seen you dressed up like this.â
âi could say the same about you. iâm so used to seeing you all sweaty, this is a big difference.â
on the surface emily is calm and collected. she laughs lightly at your comment because itâs true, but it also leaves her a little flustered because hopefully no one heard that out of context. but a tiny part of her hopes someone did.
âdo you want me to snap some pictures of you in your suit?â you offer, pointing to the camera resting around your neck.
now sheâs even more flustered. she nods and moves to stand against the wall, giving you her best model-level smile as you take her picture. when you show her the pictures she almost cringes at how noticeably flushed she is. itâs all because of you and your cute dress and your even cuter smile-
âare you alright em?â
em. fuck. sheâs totally done for as soon as you utter the nickname. itâs not even anything special, everyone fucking calls her that. but it sounds different coming from you. it doesnât help that you grip her bicep just hard enough to make her a little dizzy.
âoh yeah. can we retake those? i look like a tomato.â
âfor sure. iâm sorry- i think i messed up the lighting setting on the camera or something.â
she poses again, flashing you that same breath-taking smile. her hands buries itself deep in her pocket to hide the clamminess.
you canât help but adore her from behind your device. your eyes linger on her face, watching as her eyes trace your movements as you pull the camera away. sheâs much more pleased with the results this time, leaning in to affirm your media skills. emily complimented you endlessly as you showed her shots from earlier in the day too, trying to navigate her way into your heart.
âso, do you know if youâre signing with the mystics or..?â
âoh, no i donât, not for sure anyways. i donât think iâm supposed to tell you this but itâs definitely been talked about with management and stuff. i think they really like me.â
âhow could they not?â
emily tried to keep her spirits high and wandering mind positive. if you were signed with the mystics itâd make things a lot easier for emily. things like making very clear moves on you to a possible and eventual romantic relationship, something she was interested in having with you.
she watches you smile at her comment and it only warms her heart further. she noticed you do this thing when you smile and she absolutely fucking loves it- you always tilt your head a little to the left when you smile, shrugging sometimes when itâs because of a compliment. she watches you do it now, only admiration flooding her mind and body language.
âyou gotta stop looking at me like that.â
âlike what?â
âlike that. itâs driving me crazyâ
you almost go breathless because sheâs making you so nervous- was she flirting? it was making your head spin and her cheeky smile doesnât make it any easier to deal with.
youâre about to reply with some nonsense but thankfully the moment saves you, a teammate of emilyâs grabbing her attention.
âhey guys! emily câmere, thereâs someone from my college team i want you to meet.â
she reluctantly waves you goodbye as she vanishes back into the crowd of people thatâs only grown since she arrived. now youâre left to stand on your own, still flustered by the tall blonde when another one walks towards you, hand gently coming down on your shoulder to grab your attention.
paige bueckers greeted you with a warm smile, a genuine one that reached to her eyes. your eyes went wide with excitement upon seeing her, a smile like her own painting your features excitedly.
âpaige! i had no idea youâd be here.â
âyâknow i had to show up to see my fav.â
youâd worked with her before, interning with uconnâs media team last year during your last year of college. she was growing to be a big star in college basketball so you worked with her a lot. it was always a fun time, especially since sheâs so photogenic.
âi know youâre working with all the pro teams now but i still think you should come back to uconn for my last year.â she teases, squeezing your shoulder as a gentle reminder that sheâs still there and still so close to you.
âoh yeah? you gonna win this year?â
âyou already know.â
she shoves her hands in her pockets because she realized she canât stop touching you. even on the retreat, her smirk is relentless and unwavering within your banter together. confidence exudes from her very being and itâs unbelievably attractive, at least she hopes it is.
sheâs trying to swoon you.
âreally though, what team are you gonna be working with by next year? i need to know where iâm gonna end up.â
you laugh at that, a beautiful laugh that sweeps through your whole body. itâs music to paigeâs ears, face heating up at your reaction but she never falters. sheâs smiling and laughing with you because your energy is contagious to her, intoxicating enough to where sheâs okay with becoming an addict if it means she can be like this forever. with you.
âwouldnât you like to know.â
âyeah i would actually.â
âcanât tell you.â
âwhy not?â
âbecause i donât know. change of subject though, let me do my job and take some pictures of you.â
âoh yeah?â
âyeah.â
she confidently finds her way in front of the backdrop, posing in a way you can only describe as incredibly fucking hot. she switches her pose a few times and you capture a multitude of pictures from each moment, admiring her beauty and ease.
she swiftly finds her way back to you after a few moments, not able to deny the magnetic energy that keeps pulling her to you. as you show her some of the pictures her hand loops around your torso, pulling you out of the way of passersby, but also just so she can keep close to you.
it feels like itâs been ages since the draft, which is the last time paige saw you. she wants to soak you in now because she doesnât know when sheâll see you again. the thought sends a pang through her heart but paige is absolutely determined to make a more.. official, move on you tonight. she pulls back to look at your face, cogs in her head turning to look for the perfect thing to say when someone whisks you away.
you bid your sweet, honey-laced farewell before youâre gone in a flash. paige understands, youâre here to work. she strolls away aimlessly, spotting a few familiar faces seated at a table in the distance.
thatâs how the three blondes found themselves all at the same table, all gushing about the same person without a clue.
it started with paige talking to caitlin, who eventually dragged kate into the conversation alongside emily. paige talked about you, a nameless mention of the most beautiful girl ever. she gushed to the other blondes about how happy she was to see you again, how pretty you looked, and how sweet you acted.
âi didnât get to talk to her for long unfortunately but im still so glad i got to see her. sheâs so amazing.â paige spoke confidently, leaving your identity anonymous to the rest of the girls at the table. caitlin pushes kate teasingly at the topic, piping up to add to the conversation.
âkateâs little crush is here too. wonât stop talking about her.â
âuh yeah, i saw her when i first got here. i havenât seen her since though, i think sheâs really busy yâknow.â kateâs blushing, nowhere in her nightly plans did she intended to spill her guts to everyone about her massive crush on you.
âoh yeah kate, keep it modest. donât tell them what you told me, about how pretty she looks and how talented she is and how her hair is up so nicely in a cute little half updo-â
âdude!â
âfine, fine.â caitlinâs eyes drift to the other blonde across the table, motioning to her, âwhat about you? anyone special here tonight?â
emily nervously clears her throat and sinks into the chair. she canât help but smile at the simple thought of you. the word vomit comes immediately and she canât even help it.
âoh yeah. i mean, i guess. iâve kinda liked her for a little while and i got to talk to her earlier. sheâs really cool. bro, sheâs got this thing she does when she smiles- i swear itâs gonna kill me someday. iâm fucking whipped.â
âsame.â
âsame.â
kate and paige speak in unison, almost alarmingly. caitlinâs eyes flicker between her friends, then to aaliyah as she approaches the table. she occupies the space between emily and paige, grabbing the shoulders of both her former and current teammate.
âpaige did you see peach?â
âyeah, i talked to her a little while ago.â
âdid you, emily?â
âyeah i did.â
liyah winks at emily, knowing of the crush her teammate has for her friend. it makes emily blush which immediately catches paigeâs eye- itâd be impossible to miss emilyâs big smile at the mention of your famous nickname shared between close friends. kate doesnât catch on, too embarrassed from caitlinâs intrusive speech to think properly.
âwait, what was that?â paige is quick to question, wanting nothing more than for her suspicions to be proven wrong.
ânothing?â
âoh my god.â caitlin breaks through the short silence. sheâs pieced it all together. caitlin throws her head back in laughter almost manically because, this drama is too fucking good.
âwhat?â kate asks, confused as to why everyone looks so concerned.
âyou guys all have a crush on the same person.â
everyoneâs eyes widen; in fear, horror, shock, jealousy, disbelief, you name it. paige finds you amongst the crowd talking to a woman and canât help but feel possessive over you. youâre hers. a similar thought seems to run through the other two blondes as well. they all grimace, faces turning sour with discontent.
âwait, you guys have a crush on peach too?â kate doesnât even want to know the answer, heart sinking past the floor when the other blondes nod in confirmation. she wants to throw up, but more than that she wants to find you and confess her admiration towards you in hopes that you feel the same.
she has to get to you before the others.
she stands up and darts across the room as casually as possible. caitlin watches in shock because sheâs never seen her close friend act this way, but thereâs a first for everything.
âfuck.â paige mutters, pushing away from the table to follow kateâs trail to you. emily does the same. all the blondes have departed from their previous spots, now only concerned with the trivial task of finding you and getting you alone.
itâs no use though, all immediately arriving within the same second. your attention is inevitably drawn to all three of them as they stand before you with pleading eyes.
âguys? is everything alright?â
âno.â kate mutters, eyes shamelessly wandering over your figure with her bottom lip pulled snugly between her teeth.
âwhatâs.. whatâs going on?â
everyone is silent, glancing around at one another before paige bravely breaks the stale silence. âwe all like you peach. a lot. basically, you need to pick one. if any of us.â
âoh.â

"Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear banned the use of âconversion therapyâ on minors in Kentucky on Wednesday, calling his executive order a necessary step to protect children from a widely discredited practice that tries to change a personâs sexual orientation or gender identity through counseling.
The governor used his executive powers after Republicans who control the state legislature repeatedly blocked efforts to enact a state law banning the practice. Beshear said he would no longer wait for others to âdo whatâs right.â
âMy faith teaches me that all children are children of God,â Beshear said during the signing ceremony at the Kentucky Capitol. âAnd where practices are endangering and even harming those children, we must act. The practice of so-called âconversion therapyâ hurts our children.â
It was the latest action in a national debate over conversion therapy and the rights of LGBTQ+ children and their families.
The Kentucky event stirred many emotions. Activists for mental health and LGBTQ+ rights cheered the governor, but as he prepared to sign the ban, someone nearby shouted, âThis is a denial of affirmation therapy!â Supporters drowned out the protest.
Among those in attendance was Zach Meiners, a 34-year-old filmmaker who said he wants young people to be spared the anguish and harm he endured during four years of therapy as a teenager, which caused him âanxiety and depression in ways that Iâm still unraveling.â
âI can speak firsthand to how devastating it can be to someoneâs mental health,â Meiners said in an interview. âAnd I consider myself very lucky to be a survivor.â ...
Nearly half the states and the District of Columbia prohibit conversion therapy on minors, Beshearâs office said. In Kentucky, 21% of LGBTQ young people reported being threatened with or subjected to conversion therapy, according to the Trevor Project, a suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+ young people."

Note: That last paragraph puts in perspective for me just how far we've come, even amongst all the hate. Fifteen years ago, not a single state banned conversion therapy for minors. Ten years ago, only two states banned conversion therapy. As of this law, 24 states now ban conversion therapy for minors, plus DC, with another three having some restrictions on the process.
I remember how amazed and relieved I was, when my state (California) became the second state ever to ban conversion therapy for minor in 2012. Now those protections apply to almost half of the states, and probably well over half the US population (I'm too tired to do the math but blue states tend to have significantly more people.)
They can't close the barn doors on this. It's too late. We're already out the door, and our rights are breaking out alongside us more and more every year.

I swear to fucking god.
If any of you who call yourselves allies try to gamble with our fucking rights in November by voting independent don't even fucking bother calling yourself that. I'm all for voting independent *when its fucking safe* Its not safe. Project 2025 WILL become reality if Trump wins, and if you facilitate that by gambling with our rights then you can get out. I don't want to die because you're unrealistically optimistic.

If the policies Trump instates beings to hurt the people you love and you voted for him, voted third party, or abstained on some moral high ground I want you to know that is also *YOU* ACTIVELY HURTING THEM.
When the government takes away womenâs healthcare and autonomy and you have to sit there at the funeral of your friend, aunt, daughter, sister, or mother I want you to remember YOU killed them.
If you didnât do your part to keep trump out of office, I hope it haunts your for the rest of your days and keeps you up at night. I hope the guilt never leaves you. We warned you about what would happen and you didnât listen!
While in a perfect world we wouldnât have the two party system, we canât vote like that because we *donât* live in a perfect world.
People DIED to get the right to vote and if you wasted it then they died for nothing!
