Airline seats are reason to believe engineers have never seen an actual human.

If you are #trans and looking to flee to the Seattle area from Kansas, I recommend KOI, a 501c3 running out of the state of Washington that helps refugees fleeing to Seattle find temporary housing and resettle koinitiative.org

Donate if you can. Utilize if you are in need

I hope someone gets these stats to Donald. They will drive him crazy. (Well, crazier.) Donald Trump’s State of the Union this week drew an audience of 28 million television viewers. Joe Biden’s 2024 State of the Union drew an audience of 32.2 million viewers.

#NYC Trans Archives is a “new, independent, community-based archive dedicated to trans liberation and social justice.” Expanding their collections, they’re seeking: photos, art, posters, signs, #zines, news articles, magazines, and more. 🏳️‍⚧️ transarchives.org/acquisitions/ #activism #archives #LGBTQIA

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Hey, so, reminder that Tennessee Republicans are introducing a bill that would kill women who get an abortion. I dug up the MAGAs names, numbers, emails, & a script to use when calling them. Men—we need to step up. Act. Inundate them. Shut this trash down ASAP. www.qasimrashid.com/p/tennessee-...

Just got an invite to collab on an "influencer campaign " for a fermented milk-based prune soda." Not sure why they think anyone needs this....

As someone on multiple generic rx who has been following Pro Publica's investigations, this is a greatly appreciated and helpful tool.

I love that being old, fat, and visibly queer consistently pisses off th13the right people. To those who are mad I get joy & pride taking up public space, know I'm only getting older, fatter, & queerer.

Discord was going to use age verification that literally pipes your information straight to the fascist US government, until hackers exposed it. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.” www.therage.co/persona-age-...

The press has reported on yesterday’s Supreme Court decision as if it were only about tariffs. Wrong. It’s far bigger and even more important. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-supreme-courts-tariff-decision

Federal Judicial Center Pulls Climate Change Chapter From Official Manual for U.S. Judges ffs. Most folks, even those w/ grad degrees, don't have the training to evaluate a lot of area-specific research. This is handicapping courts. www.propublica.org/article/fede...

Lesbian history This is now the level of scrapbooks I will seek to create. Amazing www.instagram.com/reel/DUqtf-y...

Absolutely horrified (though nit surprised) by the administration's continually violence against Trans folks. Abolish the entire GOP

America's legacy is various forms of terrorism, both domestic and foreign.

Podcasters: I need help with the new Apple update. I was reading over the agreement. It looks like it gives them the right to use content I load to the site to train AI and they can repackage the content and use it without paying me. Am I reading this right?

Hunting Party, S1e2 Public university has fully digitized archives from Psych dept in the 1980 which are easily searchable. I'll suspend disbelief there is a penopticon-style prison in WY but not that level of funding.

My message: Mayor Mamdani, Please keep your promise and allocate 0.5% of the city budget to public libraries. Libraries are an engine of community and democracy. They provide important services all over the city to everyone. Plus they're just great places to hang out. Fund libraries!

There is no drawdown. There is no retreat. ICE is just redistributing their assets to better avoid accountability.

Watched "The Alabama Solution" last night. Oof. Even after my stint with the CDCR and doing research on CDCR for the Staye of CA, this was a gut punch. Thank you to the directors & prisoners who risked safety to bring this story to light.

A disabled man named Wael Tarabishi died last week after ICE abducted his father and full time caregiver. Wael begged for his dad’s release. He told ICE that losing his caregiver would kill him. His father didn’t even get to say goodbye and has been denied the right to attend the funeral.

Government can re-write food guidelines any way you want. Unless food is 1) affordable, 2) accessible, and 3) can be prepared quickly with minimal kitchen requirements it doesn't matter. Want to improve American diets? Up SNAP benefits, address food deserts, and shift farm subsidies.

Last night with no warning, RFK Jr. cancelled up to $2 billion in funding for mental health and substance abuse research and programs administered through SAMHSA. He and his minions did so because “they no longer believe the defunded programs align with the Trump administration's priorities”.
