The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

Adding my own images of Nashville Zoo to this. It’s super important to stand, fight, and continue to spread awareness on this.

There’s so many other great animals at this zoo, and it's done so much in teaching people about animals and conservation.

Other animals includes bats, btw.

Developers are seeking to turn land into a 69,000-square-foot data center next to the Nashville zoo.

Amid a growing number of data centers in Tennessee, the Nashville Zoo is pushing back against a proposed facility near its property, citing

Developer claiming they'll follow government regs when the EPA is openly rolling back regulations.....

ok so, I approached my local library with a proposal to donate a mural as a way to A: build portfolio/gain practical experience and B: give back to a beloved public institution. The director was very enthusiastic about it and i've been working on it since the beginning of March. Come with me as I endeavor to paint what is in all honesty an excessive amount of birds

I wanted the birds to look like they were actually in the space so first thing after doing the draft was to do a lighting study

after that I covered the walls in letters in lieu of a projector/vr headset bc i have neither of those :) Then i take a picture of the section of wall and superimpose the lineart over top of it so I can pencil in the lines

et voila

and that was a whole week on it's own so next comes the paintin' >:)

also essential: make a substantiative comment. your comment must point out a specific reason why the datacenter does not benefit the state. "datacenters are bad/nobody wants ai" won't quite cut it. a high volume of comments does very little. your goal should be to force the state to acknowledge practical and legal problems in their decision.

point out that this datacenter currently has not proven that it can acquire the natural gas necessary to power itselg.

point out that the long-term economic benefits of this datacenter will amount to creating a mere double-digit number of jobs that will likely go to seasonal workers from outside.

if someone points out that this is being permitted by the division of oil and gas, which has no reason to have jurisdiction over a datacenter except for the half-baked excuse of building a gas pipeline for power, that would also be effective.

do a little research, look up the article about this by Nathaniel Hertz (can't link now; he writes The Northern Journal)(edit: sorry, it's also the one OP linked), maybe go above and beyond by reading a bit of AS 38.05, and if you send in a comment, make sure it points to a flaw in the process or a reason this project is not in the state's best interest to permit.

We're getting there little by little, sure. But it's a road.

Anyway happy international asexuality day back to work I go
