Trans New Yorkers Deserve Better Than Mamdani's Inaction On Trans Youth Care Closures The mayor has immediate steps he can take to ensure continuity of care for trans youth.

1. Its been a week since NYU Langone ended its trans youth care program.

Then Sinai followed a few days ago.

There are immediate steps Mamdani can take, and he refuses to do so. When asked about those steps, his office has chosen not to comment repeatedly.

Statement from Dario Amodei on our discussions with the Department of War A statement from our CEO on national security uses of AI

A major Pentagon–Anthropic showdown is underway. The Pentagon is pushing for Claude to enable mass AI surveillance + autonomous drones, threatening a supply-chain-risk label or a defense production act takeover if they don’t.

Ultimatum was issued for tomorrow.

Anthropic just refused.

the problem with the premise that "we can't do gender affirming care until there's been more rigorous studies" is that no one is doing those studies

it's an "absense of evidence is evidence of lacking" argument where they've pulled all funding for any research that could actually produce evidence

THE DOW IS OVER 50000 🗣️🗣️🗣️

did I just find the cure for ADHD?

I need to hook a webcam up to chatgpt and give it my todo list to it so that any time I do something productive it activates a clicker or something

e-excuse me, I think you may have dropped this

Time for Mayor Mamdani to live up to his campaign promises and ensure care is kept safe for New York trans kids.

have my stitches improving by pinning everything before sewing? yes

have a stabbed myself with a pin 3 times so far today? no comment

(I stabbed myself while sewing)

my hobby is proving why bottoms shouldn't be allowed near sharp objects

a collection of multicolor sewing pins that look suspiciously like lollipops

if these aren't edible then why do they look so much like candy

you met me at a very sleepy time in my life.

i think voice training is actually hopeless for me and i'll probably never improve no matter how hard i try

I'm very normal about voice training lol

it's actually surprising how many cis women have androgynous range second formants like mine and compensate with a higher pitch and first formant

I spent the last 2 days learning how to use Praat to measure the formants of my voice / other's voices. It really didn't help me modulate my formants at all, but I have developed the completely useless skill of being able to listen to someone else's voice and tell what their second formant is

i think all i can do is cut ties with the community and do my own thing at this point. it really sucks losing what should be a support network of people with the same traumas as me, but at this point the majority of my trauma is coming from being repeatedly victimized by other trans people

I'm trying to fight the urge to complete shut down but when every time I try making friends I just get hurt by someone new, it's really hard to motivate myself to put myself out there. I understand everyone is dealing with their own dysphoria but I'm tried of people taking it out on eachother

I want to trust people but every experience I have reinforces the idea that I should not. I am deeply disappointed with the trans community as a whole; we should be supportive of each other more than anything. I've been hurt too many times by the community to really trust anyone anymore

sewing is a good way to look crazy to your roommate like what do you mean I just bought a new pair of jeans and the first thing I'm doing is ripping them apart

ahhhh I want to see what you've made :3

my aesthetic is blurring the line between cottagecore and grandma

I feel like the hardest part of voice training for me is resonance. sovt had helped me go to higher pitches with a stronger vocal weight which is amazing, but I feel like even at higher pitches my resonance is warm instead of bright. I need some good exercises for resonance x.x

shout out to be ADHD for being able to gaslight me into thinking that I can wash and style my hair in 30 minutes when it takes over 90 minutes every time

"it will be different this time for reasons™"

my suggestion to anyone starting out and looking into surgeries is to treat surgery spaces as a resource and not a place to meet friends. filter friends who use you for validation or venting. find people with common interests; two people both having gender dysphoria is not a basis for a friendship

I don't think anyone is malicious, just very insecure and looking for validation from others by talking about their accomplishments. but it creates a toxic almost middle school culture where ones physical appearance is the singular most important thing
