She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. — Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Reading stuff like this I’m always amazed at how many colleagues seem to genuinely hate their work. Historians tell me how great it is that AI can read, compile and summarize their sources. Reading sources is half the fun, it’s why I became a historian!

Man that would be useful if mine would. But then again the emotional support gushers are probably a clue

UK slashes climate aid programmes for developing countries Exclusive: Schemes worth hundreds of millions of pounds to protect biodiversity and oceans likely to be substantially reduced

I'm just back from Ghana, meeting with fisheries policy people & fishing communities. I saw many USAID-funded efforts that had contributed to poverty alleviation & sustainability. & a few places where UK aid appeared to have stepped in last year. But now?! :(

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.
