fwiw: transition works. I’m a woman, everyone I meet knows I’m a woman, everyone I love treats me as a woman. my body’s changed and is a woman’s body. I simply am one, and propaganda-influenced public opinion may make it harder to live that reality, but the reality won’t change.

Extremely good analogy. The endgame for AI companies is that everyone becomes dependent on their tech, and has to keep paying $2000 / year to write software.

High-quality software is not actually necessary to achieve that goal.

in case you didn't understand why transphobic rhetoric worried us so much about this guy, well it's because it's a signal that shit like this is coming next.

Funny animal videos no longer being trustworthy just fucking sucks all around. I love the wonder of animal behavior and what it says about the experience of being alive. It's because it happened in reality that it's so fun. It's not fun if it was just made up. There's no wonder there.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

It's time to get LOUD at the library with Tampa Taiko Drums!

they're both based on the idea that certain qualities that children can just naturally have are wrong, like the "normal" kid you were entitled to has been replaced with a faerie doppelganger, and that any amount of abuse is justified to try to "fix" your kid, who is no longer a person

Two visits, two tones: How the Ukrainian president was received in the US vs. the UK.

This is exactly the sentiment used to justify atrocity by despots for all of human history.

Love visiting the Kennedy space center with these people ❤️

DC Children's Hospital has just contacted me to tell me my reporting is "inaccurate" that they have stopped providing gender affirming care.

How is it inaccurate?

They still provide "mental healthcare."

Read my response.
