We just got this game a week ago and are so hilariously bad at it. When my husband went off-planet the first time, he stranded himself in space with no fuel very very far away from the next objective. 10/10 would recommend watching

For sure, AMAB folks of all gender modalities (cis, trans, etc) tend to be punished for expressing femininity. AMAB femininity technically works here, but transmisogyny is more accurate and has been an established term since the 2000s.

Really interesting study on referrals to gender specialists by age and gender, although I think "transmisogyny" would be a more accurate descriptor here since "AMAB femininity" could include gay or gender non-conforming cis men.

say it again:

4 million people work in higher ed, the largest employer in 10 states, second largest employer in 10 more, and in 60 of the 100 biggest cities

demolishing higher education is economic sabotage

Johns Hopkins Press will license its books to train AI models Authors at the Johns Hopkins University Press will be able to opt out of the AI licensing agreement until the end of August; if they do not, their work will be used to train AI models.

Histories of ugly laws and anti-crossdressing laws are a key component of my upcoming article on trans virality (e.g., social contagion/ROGD) as a form of eugenic spatial governance. Heavily informed by disability scholars like Susan Schweik, Cameron Awkward-Rich, and Clare Sears.

Worth noting that anti-crossdressing laws in US cities also came into existence during the late 19th century, often using the same language as ugly laws. The spatial governance of gender nonconformity and disability are deeply linked.

Thank you to @monachalabi.bsky.social for this powerful graphic, which starkly pictures the severity of the Israeli government’s policy of mass death through forced starvation.

Been saying this since 2023 - in the end everyone will have claimed to have been against genocide. Now we are seeing war criminals pretend they care. Actions are louder than words, bubba, so watcha doing than discourse on social media?

you might enjoy the flavor of sourdough better! Or doing a smaller amount of commercial yeast with a longer rise time

Trans authors on itch.io, if this is affecting you, please share in the replies.

Some highlights:
- Data centers currently use enormous amounts of non-renewable energy.
- Data centers bring short-term construction jobs but not many long-term economic benefits.
- The companies pushing AI are losing billions of dollars every year hoping their speculative investment will pay off.

Extraordinarily timely policy brief from Data & Society on the push for more data centers in the US to fuel AI!

If you are a trans athlete at any level (amateur, masters, national team) and want to talk in light of the USOPC decision yesterday, I would love to hear your thoughts to include in a story I'm working for the @sfchronicle.com!

ICE Jailed a 6-Year-Old With Leukemia for More Than a Month The boy, who was jailed along with his sister and mother, cried every night, a lawyer for the family said.

Congress has approved some $45 billion to expand ICE’s immigration detention capacity, including the jailing of families and children.

some fresh writing from @averyeverhart.bsky.social and me, coming soon!

I started a personal project a while back...Working on African languages, I meet people from all over the continent. I found it very interesting how similar we can be on some things and how drastically different we are on others. So I decided to read one book from each African country...🧵

Almost as if its a cynical ploy to obtain the legal precedents necessary to expel trans people from public life perpetrated by the same people who overturned Roe v. Wade

today I learned!

I usually use Happy Cow to figure out the best options when I'm somewhere new, although it has its own issues.

Looks like an amazing opportunity! Is visa sponsorship possible with this position?

I do want to emphasize that this is a survey of trans people—it largely won’t capture people those who no longer identify as trans, so we can’t infer much about that group.

This is still very informative. But we have to be cognizant of what it says and what it doesn’t.

Transgender bathroom bill added to Texas flood-relief special session None of the 82 bills proposed Monday, the first filing day of the forthcoming special session, were actually flood-related, according to KXAN-TV, NBC’s Austin affiliate.

has anyone noticed yet that texas is going to pass anti-trans and anti-abortion bills as a part of their flood response

As someone who just defended their diss and is rapidly approaching underemployment, this is incredibly bleak.
