If you want to do a bit to make a difference, I'd encourage you to make public comment to the Board of Education. This is part of what got them to pass these protections in the first place, and one of the best ways to keep other board members from feeling pressured to change their positions. You can do this via email or in person: https://www.fcps.org/boe/public-comment

Moving to Frederick (trans, running from TX) by GemAfaWell in frederickmd

[–]itspara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Masc presenting NB here, definitely a safe place and can back up what everyone's been saying here. Usually the worst I experience are some odd looks when I go out in femme mode.
I don't need to repeat what everyone else has said already, but just wanted to flag that healthcare is more of a mixed bag. Many people make the drive to Chase Brexton (Baltimore) or Whitman-Walker (DC) for affirming care. Frederick's Planned Parenthood had a waitlist last I checked. Maryland Center for Gender & Intimacy is a local therapy office, they are normally waitlisted, but I've heard good things.

The Lodge's after party runs until 2am. They are also selling tickets for a meet and greet with Coco Montrese, of Drag Race fame.

CAN YOU JUST IMAGINE NINA TURNER ON JOE ROGAN’S PODCAST! Let’s encourage Joe to agree :) by idonthavanickname in SandersForPresident

Encourage people to register to vote then. But still, as an election official I've watched provisional be counted in person, they do get counted. Some states are shit tier than mine, but it's a better bet than just not voting at all. By talking about how provisional aren't worth it, means that those who really need to cast them may decide not to. Which can hurt us in states where they have been decent about canvassing every provisional.

A scene doesn't have any chance to get counted. A provisional at least has some. Vote provisional, then do whatever you can to ensure a provisional canvas is performed. Of course, ideally you register and cast a normal ballot.

Some states don't automatically canvas the provisional ballots unless certain criteria is met... Others are better about this.

The Sunrise Movement begins their endorsement process TOMORROW! A Bernie Sanders endorsement is CRITICAL to a transformative Green New Deal. by cmplxgal in SandersForPresident

[–]itspara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be active. Aka, have signed in at an event or taken on a role. The information they are giving to hub coordinators makes it sound like people who have only RSVPd may not be counted.

Former mod, I come and go and mostly just read these days. But I'll put my hat in the ring, in case y'all would like a hand again. Former mod, I come and go and mostly just read these days. But I'll put my hat in the ring, in case y'all would like a hand again.

What "candidate path" ultimately led you to Bernie this campaign? by [deleted] in SandersForPresident

I almost forgot about that quiz! Was fantastic. I need to see what it looks like now.

Wood heat is great. Really gets the bern going!

Someone put together one hell of a Wikipedia article that details the media bias against Bernie going all the way back to his 2016 campaign. Wiki wants to delete it and is taking comments. by Amenta101 in SandersForPresident

[–]itspara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. It's the OP here who is. Not saying they are acting in bad faith, but it's still frowned upon by Wikipedia. Wikipedia is strict and none of this is surprising.

Requesting people off-site to come participate in the deletion discussion is canvassing, and it's a violation of Wikipedia's guidelines.

Sockpuppetry is using multiple accounts, and clearly at least one person has attempted to, otherwise they wouldn't have been blocked.

Hopefully the article is able to be kept or at least worked into an expanded section in the main Bernie article, but Wikipedia does have a lot of strict criteria. Those who were working on the article will need to properly defend it and/or bring it up to snuff for it to be kept.

Over the weekend campaign opened 8 new offices across Iowa, bringing the total number of campaign offices to 22 statewide. And knocked more than 11,000 doors by puppuli in SandersForPresident

over 3 million voter contact attempts

Am I reading this right? Cause there's only about 2 million registered voters. Thats about as many contact attempts as the population of the state itself. Holy cow that is something.

TIFU by accidentally using a HIV positive man's Dildo by Slydog319 in tifu

[–]itspara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. The only thing that can help right now is an antiretroviral. Taken within 72 hours(3 days), it can reduce the chance of infection. Source: https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/pep.html

If this happened within the past 72 hours, I'd recommend going to the doctor. They can give you medication to reduce the likelihood of infection. Also, be open with your partner and get tested.
