Erin Reed at Erin In The Morning:

On Wednesday, former Republican President Donald Trump turned his aim towards transgender people near the end of a speech in Racine, Wisconsin, which was mostly focused on immigration and crime. In the speech, he announced that his administration would shut down federal funding for schools that support transgender people, describing these schools as “pushing transgender insanity,” on day one. He also announced his intent to target transgender people in sports. These statements suggest that the candidate may increasingly prioritize targeting transgender people as a key election issue should he win.

Though the first hour of the speech went by without a mention of LGBTQ+ people, Trump turned his attention towards schools abruptly after speaking about crime, where he announced his day one priorities: “We're going to be proud of our Capital, we're going to take care of our Capital. On day one, I will sign a new executive order to cut Federal funding of any school pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content onto the lives of our children, and I will not give one penny to any school that has a vaccine mandate or a mask."

He then turned towards the topic of transgender athletes, claiming that a cisgender woman was injured by a volleyball hit by a transgender woman, which he claimed “came out at her at a speed that which she’s never seen before.” He also took aim at transgender swimmers and weightlifters. This is not the first time that Donald Trump has spoken about transgender issues. Recently, his campaign slammed President Biden’s proclamation of Transgender Day of Visibility as “blasphemous” for falling on the same day as Easter. Notably, Trans Day of Visibility has been on March 31st for several years, whereas Easter is a moving holiday. Shortly after, he endorsed Pastor Mark Burns in South Carolina, who has called for executions over transgender people.

Recently, in a rally in Michigan, he stated that his day-one priorities included reversing Title IX protections for trans youth. Likewise, last year he released a video stating he intends to target programs promoting gender-affirming care “at any age” and to treat gender-affirming care as child abuse.

At a propaganda rally in Racine, WI Wednesday, Donald Trump pushed his insane "parental rights" in schools agenda by suggesting that federal funding of schools be cut if they don't toe Trump's anti-student inclusion line of banning support for trans people in schools.

Speaking of who is cramming down "political content" in schools? It's right-wing indoctrination factories such as PragerU.

Motorsport-Focused Heartbeat Prompts

Special thanks to @fredwardart for helping me with some prompt ideas and to @wolfsbanesbite for making me realize I could try and make a list like this for motorsport fandoms to help create more heart-related stories. ❤

Not all of these are racing-related because I tried to add some prompts that can be good for when they aren’t racing.

Dear MotoGP fans, feel free to change ‘driver’ to ���rider’ and use these prompts. Also, feel free to make any changes (like wording, pet name used, changing driver to trainer, things like that) if you need it for the prompt to fit the story better/be more in character.

And if you write for any of these prompts, please don’t forget to tag me/send me the story because I’d love to read it. 😊 (But you don’t have to if you don’t want to. It’s optional.)

General heart-related dialogue prompts

1. “When I grabbed your hand on the podium I could feel how your pulse was racing.”

2. “Your fireproofs are so tight I can see your heart beating in your chest.”

3. “Checking your pulse won’t make it go any slower. Breathe, relax, and get into the zone.”

4. “Take a deep breath and focus. Your heart is more responsive than you think.”

5. “I’ve never met a driver with a slower/quicker heart rate than you.”

6. “Why do you keep checking my pulse?” “Because… Because of that crash. I just need to remind myself that you’re alive.”

7. “Does my heart feel weird to you? It keeps doing this after races.”

8. “I was feeling so shit I just wanted to bring the car home and then curl up on your chest and fall asleep to your heartbeat and breathing.”

9. “Can you check my pulse? I… I don’t feel too good.”

10. “Keep that pulse going for me. The medical car is almost here. Stay with me.”

Cardiophile dialogue prompts

11. “I found home in your heartbeat.”

12. “Your heartbeat is my favorite pre-race song.”

13. “I’ve recorded my heartbeat for you to help you fall asleep when we’re apart.”

14.  “When you come over to workout, bring your stethoscope, too. I want to try something.”

15. “Why is there a stethoscope in your wardrobe/suitcase?”

16. “I just want you to lay on my chest and talk about my heart.”

17. “My love, you look pale. Come sit down, I’ll take your blood pressure and listen to your heart.”

18. “I want you to make my heart race like it does when we’re racing each other on track.”

19. “I can feel your heart racing. You have no secrets anymore…”

20. “Put your hand around my neck and listen to my heart react to it.”

General heart-related scene prompts

21. Driver A being pale and feeling unwell after a session so Driver B checks their pulse, gets them some water, and takes care of them until they get better.

22. Driver A unintentionally feeling Driver A’s pulse/heartbeat.

23. Driver A feeling Driver B’s pulse/heartbeat on purpose.

24. Driver A experiencing a sudden blood pressure drop resulting in collapsing after a particularly hard race.

25. Driver A getting a panic attack after a crash and not being able to calm down because of their heart racing too fast and hard.

26. Rookie driver A being anxious before their first race so experienced Driver B teaches them a breathing technique that can ease the anxiety and slow down their heartbeat.

27. A heart rate monitor in a glove is less of a comfort when it detects a driver’s heart rate slowing after a crash. Especially when it starts to slow down too much.

Cardiophile scene prompts

28. Driver A and Driver B are training together, making a competition out of it to see who can reach a higher heart rate (and then who can get back to their resting heart rate quicker).

29. Driver A is waiting for the doctor to arrive and do the pre-season medical check-up but it’s Driver B who steps in after the door opens, in a white coat and with a stethoscope around their neck.

30. Driver A’s love for cardio is slowly starting to be picked up by Driver B.

31. It’s a well-known fact in the paddock that driver A is particularly good at being in touch with their heart. Driver B comes to them for advice on how to get to know theirs better.

32. Driver A catches a glimpse of Driver B’s carotid pulse being visibly fast while they’re chatting. “Is your heart always this fast or is it because of me?”

33. Driver A struggles to act normal during the pre-season medical check-up because of all the attention put on their heart. 

34. ‘The problem with a race suit is that there are too many layers between your hand and your heart.’ – Driver A runs to their driver’s room, unzipping their race suit and pulling up the fireproofs to be able to press their hand on their heart and find the comfort they need.

35. Driver A gets gifted a stethoscope by a fan, driver B notices it and insists on trying it.

36. Driver A surprises Driver B with a stethoscope after their first race/championship win because they knew they’d been dreaming of getting one but didn’t feel like they deserved it.

Lisa Grönstedt Vilhelmsson & Triton the 5yo Golden, representing team Sweden at the Rally Obedience World Championship. I thought this was a really lovely performance, especially the tail that never stopped wagging <3

This run earned 98/100 points, and today Lisa & Triton placed 1st and became the first ever FCI Rally Obedience world champions!
