The first thing anti-trans groups like Bayswater Group and Transgender Trend say to parents of trans teens is take their phones, get them off the internet

First real fall day in New England today; there's a chill in the air, leaves are falling and blowing in the wind, and the people of the forest are looking for a warm place to lay their eggs @nicklutsko.bsky.social youtu.be/jpzWVh7f4TE

I appreciate this insight, I think itโ€™s tempting to think doing your own production will be easier/more flexible/etc but clearly has its own downsides!

Los Angeles man demands answers after wife was detained at scheduled green card meeting A man is speaking out and asking for help after his wife was detained by federal agents at the end of a scheduled green card hearing in downtown Los Angeles in early September.

Horrifyingโ€” Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

The Washington Post Fired Me โ€” But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America โ€” and it cost me my job.

Firing a Black woman for quoting Kirkโ€™s horrific statements about Black women is insane. It seems the Washington Post would rather perform politeness (and demand that the people Kirk harmed do it too) that tell the truth: karenattiah.substack.com/p/the-washin...

News orgs HAVE to stop calling these porn bans. Yes, #HB4938, does also criminalize porn โ€” also terrible โ€”ย it goes far beyond that.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset.
In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia.
In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Hi Michael,

I wanted to let you know that, due to recent changes in U.S. customs rules, Iโ€™m currently unable to ship orders directly to America. Postal services in many countries have suspended deliveries to the U.S. while they work out how to handle the new requirements, which means I canโ€™t reliably get parcels through at the moment.

Beginning to get emails like this from small overseas businesses I've ordered products from in the past.

I guess this is freedom.

We figured out to *cure cancer* (ref: last yearโ€™s pancreatic cancer trials) and the Trump administration decided โ€œnah.โ€ That a society could reject a cure for cancer is astounding.
