Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.

Why Are β€œGender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes? plus my new video β€œTrans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

Over the decades, we have had two Honda Civics. You could have almost fit two of the old Civic into the new Civic.

You can also see it very clearly with the '50s Mini and the modern Mini. Or as we call 'em: the "not-so-Mini" :)

MCP  Model Context Protocol: what is it, why should I care about it, and how do I implement it?
YouTube video by Laurie Voss MCP Model Context Protocol: what is it, why should I care about it, and how do I implement it?

I gave an introductory talk to SF.gov about MCP: what it is, why you should care about it, and how best to implement it. If you're new to MCP or are looking for a quick intro to share, you might also find it useful, so I recorded it:

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Every news broadcast should run the facts split-screen in real time while Trump spews his lies.

Nice work, @msnbc.com β€” every network had time to prepare because they knew what was coming.

Noooo! The last thing in the world I use my phone for is making (or receiving) phone calls! :) I want everything in writing, partly because I can never remember what was said on a call, but mostly because I want _proof_ that something was said/agreed!

Note to Kristi Noem:

It is far better to be mocked in a cartoon for how you look than to be shoved into the back of a U-Haul and kidnapped for how you look.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

Suing Trump Isn't Enough: Blue State AGs Must Enforce State Laws Protecting Trans People Private entities overcomplying with Trump executive orders and targeting transgender people must not be given free passes to do so by blue states.

1. State AGs have sued Trump for intimidating providers from providing trans care.

Meanwhile, institutions are dropping trans people left and right out of fear of Trump.

Suing Trump isn't enough. State AGs MUST enforce equality laws against cowardly orgs.

YouGov has relentlessly kept "HBO Max" as the name in all of its TV-related surveys over the past two years as well!

Since my "commute" is to turn right out of my bedroom into my office, that bedroom/office pair can be anywhere -- and just moved from the SF Bay Area to the Youngstown area in Ohio :)

I just moved to the Youngstown area from the San Francisco Bay Area, California, so I can afford to retire "soon". Bought a similar home to what I have in CA for 1/5 of the price. Cost of living savings is a big attraction.
