now please, and i’m so serious: take that anger and go buy some masks to wear in public indoor spaces so everyone knows how much you don’t fuck with eugenics. if you need low cost or free masks, or just don’t know where to start, check out covidactionmap.org and maskbloc.org for groups near you.

You are not being snubbed, people find AI usage unethical and harmful.

I really need to stop forgetting this website exists

Supreme Court Not Sure Why You Thought the Equal Protection Clause Meant Anything A law banning healthcare for trans kids does not discriminate against trans kids, and other pearls of wisdom from the country’s sharpest legal minds.

The ban on gender affirming care for trans kids that the Court upheld as constitutional today in Skrmetti is so obviously *un*constitutional that John Roberts basically just writes 20something pages of buffoonery

Today is a particularly good day to support trans mutual aid as a concrete way to fight back against the fuckers trying to take their healthcare and other rights away.

This week on Live Like the World is Dying, @jamesstout.bsky.social and Miriam talk about how to stay safe with danger all around. They talk health and safety basics for protests like security culture, protective gear, first-aid kits, and dangers like projectiles, tear gas, and pepper spray.(1/2)

An orange and brown gradient graphic that reads: "QUESTIONS TO ASK: ANTI-SURVEILLANCE PROTEST TOOLKIT -Will posting this help more than it will harm other people, particularly Black folks on the frontlines? -Can I do something more helpful with this information/photo/video than post it on my account? -Is this photo beneffiting me, my "clout," my career, or the movement & activists at the forefront? -Am I putting someone at risk? Don't treat this as a spectacle rather than a real movement and struggle."

this anti-surveillance protesting and direct action guide that I helped to organize and create in 2020 is still as relevant as ever, there's a plethora of tips for reducing risk before, during, and after actions, please use it to try to be safer. full site with resources: maskon.zone

Am I revising this poem or is this poem revising me?

Kinda worried about this not gonna lie, since it’s the same tactic used in Masterpiece Cake Shop which then led to the 303 Creative ruling which probably allows the precedent for this suit to be successful.

there’s no freedom for anyone unless police power is weakened

having this knowledge makes me :(

me fucking too

Opinion | Trump's message to trans people is clear: Detransition, or potentially die My question to everyone reading this is: When is enough enough?

For my @msnbc.com column this week, I wrote about exactly what the Republican anti-trans budget bill would do to trans people on Medicaid.

I know many people my age still have a lot of nostalgia around Harry Potter and might be tempted to watch the new HBO TV series.

Please, I'm begging you, do not tune in.

J.K. Rowling is singularly motivated. The new Harry Potter series is a cash cow intended to fund anti-trans bigotry.

I just want people in media and publishing to be safe and like any other industry it's a hot mess of institutions protecting serially abusive and harmful people for basically no good reason other than men in power looooove to do that shit

I just think it's so beautiful and sweet that you can out a serial abuser who personally harmed you and many others and instead of getting fired, the premier trade mag in publishing promotes him and gives him even more power... boys clubs that protect and defend violence are so cute huh

jaw dropped at the argument 'oh ho, you were upset that cops abuse Black people & foolishly thought journalism should interrogate injustice. now women journalists are upset that you abused them & are foolishly interrogating that injustice. serves ya right!'

then I realized FP is Bari Weiss's outlet

Utah Republicans accidently did an honest scientific and medical review of the evidence behind youth gender care instead of the overtly political reports done by the UK government and federal HHS.

Seeing a lot of confusion about the budget's provisions on trans care--it would strip Medicaid funds for trans care (which is awful enough) but it would NOT prohibit private insurers from providing coverage for trans care. It actually does something far more narrow and wonkier
