NEW YORK (AP) — New York Attorney General Letitia James on Monday told hospitals that they would be violating state law if they stop offering gender-affirming care for people under age 19 in response to an executive order from President Donald Trump aimed at curtailing federal funding for such treatments.

In a letter, James, a Democrat, told health care facilities that refusing to provide the treatments would violate New York’s anti-discrimination laws.

“Regardless of the availability of federal funding, we write to further remind you of your obligations to comply with New York State laws,” her letter reads.

Everyone say thank you to NY Attorney General Letitia James!!!

alright so Pangur got her claw stuck while rolling over in bed, and then just GAVE UP, which led to her being horizontally flattened in a way that gives her impossible girth and...... I'll share, but just know that it's an optical illusion. please. I swear to god she's a healthy weight. I mean, a little chubby, but not like this.

I do have a soft spot for the style associated with D&D 3e that was often described as "dungeonpunk" in the day. It was a clear step away from the weird medievalism of early D&D and the high fantasy art stylings of later AD&D, which I do also miss, but it did give the edition a clear visual identity (that was oftentimes really fucking stupid but we take the good with the bad)

Now of course as a scholar of punk it must be noted that dungeonpunk was only punk in "punk as a suffix to connote a style of fashion or art." Therefore, I must also break with my good friend @vixensdungeon and assert that had D&D 3e been a style of music it would've been nu-metal.

Hi, I ADORE your The Thing/The Kiss artwork and would love to have it as a poster sized print. Is there any way to make that happen? Could I purchase a high res copy of the art to then have printed myself or do you have a store I could purchase it from myself?

Hi, my art is available as prints, please remember to check out the Inprnt store in the pinned post!

is the actual pattern of white spotting genetic? theres these two cats on youtube (mother and daughter) who have a spot on their muzzle in about the same place so i was wondering

We have a fairly good hint for that, i think: cloned cats.

The differences between the donor and the clone shows how much of it is random:

These are the verry first pair: Rainbow, the tortie is the donor and CC, the tabby is her clone. You can see how the amount of the white is roughly the same but the exact shape is different. (Rainbow's color goes down onto both of her forelegs, CC has a higher and wider triangle on her face, they have colored splatches on different legs. However both of them have mostly white ears.)

Two other examples: Garlic

and Bear.

This latter one is especially interesting, because both clone kittens have the characteristic face pattern in a very similar fashion.

Things two hungarian poets from the 1840s said to each other in their letters that make me crazy:

If my soul touches you and it happens to burn you I'm not to blame... it was you who lit it on fire

I swear to you on cottage cheese and tobacco

If the people rule in poetry, so will they rule in politics and that's the goal of the century! To hell with the aristocracy!

My dear buddy,

My soul, my bastard,

My golden mouthed saintly friend,

My rowdy brother,

My lovable dummy,

If you want to see a dead Pegasus, look no further than me

I am trying to learn to smile nicely ( he did not succeed)

My dear friend, you better side of my soul

I will never forgive you for NOT writing the address on the envelope yourself. A woman's handwriting... and a black seal... dear god, the devil took him! he worked himself to death writing poems, he died! ... and then i opened your letter... Never do this again. Only use black seal vax on your death, and even then, still write the address yourself!

I'm reading (your work) for the sixth time. It's really a horrible thing. I'll need to read it again to understand just how awful it is!

Sincerely, your friend whose balls are itching

It's really good that your sore throat is gone, I can finally strangle you

Leave the dedication! Veselényi is a great man but he's still a Lord, and a poet should never dedicate ANYTHING to a Lord

I'm hugging you a 1000000000000 times!
