I spent the last week writing up this essay on what it means to be trans in this moment. What it means to live under authoritarianism as the scapegoated minority of the moment and how it feels inescapable as an infinite loop.

About 80% of new relationships begin on dating apps. They’re definitely a nightmare, but not this kind…
For International Women's Day you should uhhhh hire a trans woman 🥴
You’re gonna kill it girl 💖
With Fire Red and Leaf Green on Switch now, there’s probably people playing Pokémon who have never played a classic 2D Pokémon game before, so just some advice: remember that holding down and B when throwing a Pokéball will help increase the odds of catching the Pokémon
Jamelle Bouie is good and smart and usually correct, he has supported trans rights multiple times in his columns, and no stranger has any right to tell him to quit his job.
They’re even doing AI interviewing now, it’s *bleak* out here 💀
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
I should wait until morning to maximize engagement, but actually let me share this article that just came out, titled "A Healthy Disrespect for the Law," in which I suggest that lawyers may sometimes have a unique duty to DISrespect the law.

Hinge has been the best for me by far, followed by Bumble. Tinder is pretty much worthless imo, and while I appreciated feeld’s enm/kink focus, it just wasn’t for me
Next gen gaming for PlayStation 6 can wait until 2030 for all I care. It really seems like the PlayStation 5 has just started to even take off. Covid really did a number on this generation of games and consoles. Times are a changing, but I’m good with riding out this gen longer.

Please check on the trans people in your life today.
The anti trans rhetoric is everywhere.
Those on the right are purposefully stoking fear and division in an attempt to destroy an entire marginalized group.
We can’t let them get away with it.
Trans rights are human rights.

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art
However much you hate email, you need to hate email more.
Everybody's not coming. You just get a critical mass. Everyone's not part of the collective making change, everyone doesn't want to be & some never will. There's no point building with republicans. A lot of white folks will never get over whiteness to be useful. We just build power with who we can.
Ah, the old trap: If gay people point out that equating oral sex with degradation is homophobic, we're scolds and language police, and that distracts from the real issue, which is that Newsom lacks any internal compass and says whatever he thinks will win him applause or agreement in the moment. >
ICE are abducting 5 year olds, using them as bait to get to their family, and shipping them to a Texas concentration camp all in a single day.
We need a Nuremberg for everyone involved. Abolish ICE isn't enough.

SUGGESTION FOR BLUESKY'S DEV TEAM: y'all should do locked accounts so that you, yes you the devs, have a place to complain about how fucking annoying users are without the users being able to QRT dunk you.
it's lifesaving. you need it. trust me on this one. i'm looking out for you here
Renee Good, who was murdered in cold blood today by ICE, was a queer woman. June "T-Rex" Knightly, who was murdered in Portland, was a queer woman. The ICE detainees who were sexually assaulted in Louisiana are queer women and trans men.
The thing that's really hilarious about this is that Valens is apparently being harassed for being too pro-furry while Malloy was harassed for appearing anti-furry.
It lends credence to the "trans women can do no right" thesis.
But also, folks, we're doing this to ourselves.
“If a woman dares to show herself in public in any way, then she can and will be sexually harassed with the aid of genAI-driven tools that can easily turn her face into highly realistic pornography” is an absolute red-alarm human rights disaster
