I don't know if my parents got me the vaccine for measles. So, I went and got it last week. I recommend you do too if you aren't sure 💜

I guess it's a blanket dismissal

Made it to Friday but at what cost

So the thing about being trans is you go from barely existing to loving life and then everyone who isn’t trans wants us to be quiet and polite at best while we’re exploding with the first real joy we’ve ever experienced So Anyone who thinks we need to be civil and quiet can fuck all the way off

JWST continues to kill it

The only thing wrong with Iran is a bunch of religious assholes control everything A bunch of religious American assholes are going to fix that

Thoughts & prayers to the EPA :(

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

You will never regret the post you didn't post.

So, do we need a petition or something to get history to call this the Nobel Peace War (or Nobel Peace Combat Operations)?

“Today people use as many words as they can and think themselves very wise for doing so. For always remember that while it is wrong to use too few, it is often far worse to use too many.”

Block was a really great place to work for the past four months. Unfortunately, I’m part of today’s 40% layoff. If you need an old hand at web stuff, who has staff software engineering experience at multiple international corporations, hit me up. ❤️

I'm not here to preach but I will just remind you that Trump doesn't lie to be believed. He lies to be repeated. So you don't have to help him.

Let's see if we can raise $10,000 today for red state or national queer orgs. Post proof here in the replies that you donated to a red state or national queer organization and I will share. Who's with me? (I can't donate myself because I'm a journalist who covers these orgs)

The GOP controlled legislature owns this Mr Johnson, and when this predictable mess hit the fan the house sponsor of this law went silent. BTW, I’m running for UT District 11 - the seat currently occupied by Ms Hall. District 11 can help undo this assault on education www.sltrib.com/news/educati...

You’re hearing it more and more.

Wowwww omg

It really is either you support trans rights or you support Hitler 2.0

HI, I'm twelve.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

That's the truth. Oh, wait: THIS is the last in the series for awhile.

Lost my job because I wasn’t sad Charlie Kirk died. In a few weeks, I’ll be transporting all 4 of these fur children from Los Angeles, 3,000 miles across the country to my hometown of Philadelphia. We could use your help. www.gofundme.com/f/support-jo...

Fulu Foundation offers a $10,000 bounty to the first person to figure out a way to run a Ring camera system locally, and block any data from being transmitted to Amazon's servers

Olympic athletes, some of whom are teenagers, are held to a higher level of expected maturity than the most powerful man in the world.

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” High-speed rail! MRNA vaccines! New cancer treatments! Solar and wind energy collection! Better and longer-range EVs! That wood that's harder than steel! New apples! Fibermaxxing! Buldak Swicy ramen! Muppets! Muppets are too a technology, shut up!

The second edition of Designing Data-Intensive Applications, by myself and @chris.blue, is finished and sent off to the printers! Ebooks should be available in the next week, and print books in 3–4 weeks. Sigh of relief. 😅 (BTW, this is a good opportunity to support your favourite local bookshop!)

Just in: 50 parents and transgender activists have blockaded the HHS Building in protest of sweeping new rules that could ban trans youth nationwide. 24 were then arrested. This is the kind of action we need. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Public comment on Dr Oz's proposed rules to ban gender-affirming care for youth closes 2/17 One rule bans hospital-based care, the other eliminates Medicaid/CHIP coverage Together they'd make care virtually unavailable nationwide, including in shield law states www.patreon.com/posts/149210...

Meant to do this the first time Erin posted but glad this came back around. Great opportunity to provide a little support to amazing kids.

Huge announcement: Girl Scouts on our trans girl scout cookies list have sold 250,000!!!!!! Boxes of girl scout cookies, a record for EITM's trans girl scout cookie drive. Some have only sold 20 boxes though. I put those at the top of the list. Lets close out this season and make their day! :)

“Tell me,” he yawned, for he felt ready for a nap now himself, “does everyone here do nothing?” “Everyone but the terrible watchdog,” said two of them, shuddering in chorus. “He’s always sniffing around to see that nobody wastes time. A most unpleasant character.”

Steve Wozniak is calling for stronger AI regulation, source transparency, and human oversight—warning that AI doesn’t truly understand information and should never replace human judgment in education or society. #AIPolicy

Roses are red Violets are blue Cocaine is better With a small bit of poo

In Milan, drivers are mad at the concrete curb of a new bike lane. The curb is doing exactly what it’s supposed to do, as you can see in the photo

Roses are red And I guess love is nice But I’ll feel much better When we get rid of ICE

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

I believe in divine justice, but I would also like to see these ghouls suffer in mortality, just to be sure.

a stat i always cite is the number of anti-trans articles in the press went from 60 in a year, to 7,500

Personally I would suggested a usb/thumb drive. Zip drives are hard to come by and at best 250mb/disk, a bit bulky for toads video. Also turn off any bio-recognition (face, fingerprint).

Just a reminder that I'm hiring! Looking for an engineer/research for some fun projects (some building! some designing!) Come build spectrographs at UW.

Nice to see a 10k+ crowd in SLC. Red as we are, we're not as red as our reps want us to believe (and continue to try and gerrymander into existence)
