This should be no surprise to anyone, but study says immediate access to testosterone to those seeking masculinization is strongly correlated with a drop in gender dysphoria, depression, and suicidality. Amazing how having supportive care toward creating your desired presentation really helps get rid of those problems and the psychic damage that comes about from having a presentation incongruous with your self-identity.
A perfect example of the latitude a private entity, such as a publisher, has to choose to publish, not publish, rescind offers, and otherwise choose who they want to platform and what reasons they choose to platform or deplatform someone, as opposed to the usually much more limiting strictures imposed on public spaces and persons, like the library, who often would like to refuse to platform people antithetical to their communities and the people who use them, but are forbidden to do so by laws because a library having an opinion that looks like a political one is usually expressly forbidden.
Jimmy Buffet, known for island tunes and tours and an empire of cashing in on the merchandising of some of his biggest hits, passed on to the next part of his career at 76 years of age. Screw cancer. One of the founding vocalists of Smash Mouth died at 56, which is far too young for so many things. Smash Mouth of this era provided some earworms like All Star and Walkin' On The Sun, as well as some less well-known materials. (Admittedly, I'm partial to Padrino, because a funny song about the Mob is pretty classic.) Gary Wright, known primarily for his work with synthesizers and the song "Dream Weaver," has left life at 80 years of age, having been battling both Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia.
( And then there's everything else )
Last for tonight, a 60 second ad about what other things a person is signing up to know and understand when they choose not to treat their firearms as the deadly weapons they are and to make it as difficult as possible for those firearms to be misused. Contains the implications of accidental shootings, suicide by gun, and the use of a weapon to commit mass violence.
And, to give you something else to think about at the end, the ultimately successful quest to determine who painted the Dell 1976 cover of A Wrinkle In Time, a painting extremely well known for having very little at all to do with the elements of the story contained inside it.
