1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Breaking: Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died. She was 111 years old

as a sidenote, if you ARE in the industry, and you look like me (as in, you're a white cis dude), you need to be queueing as a tank and taking aggro for people who are not. it is our responsibility to use our privilege to protect people who have less

neckties are just socially acceptable leads

Replace autism with trans and the joke article is no longer a joke, it's how studies are done and how policy is passed.

Theory bite! This is probably something that cis people would find useful, as much or more than trans people, because a lot of cis people participate in it in conversations about transness and trans folks ;3

To be quite honest, a flood of low-cost cloud GPUs on the market could revolutionize a whole bunch of other industries, or at least catalyze some major innovation. The finance / economy side is going to very much suck, but there’s serious opportunities enabled from an AI bubble crash.

Can I use these to buy a house? I can supply promises of decades of demand for housing. Could use the stock bump from zero to like, something? too! /s

Note to self, check feed for toxic male fragility before checking them on their lack of social media acumen and disrespect for tragic circumstances they enable. Whelp, there’s 20 seconds I’ll never get back…

Azeen has this platform because women in astronomy helped her report major stories about alleged perpetrators of sexual misconduct in our field, like Lawrence Krauss. This is what she has done with the platform. It haunts me. 🔭

We need to talk about Trans Voice Lab, what they stole from us, and how they're exploiting our community. Full video on our YouTube and TikTok.

Let’s start early today: Tell me something that brought you joy this week. Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.

yes, structural monogamy is a part of the cisheteropatriarchal regime that shapes reproductive power. you can't legally marry more than one person, its literally the same structural power wielded against gay and lesbian couples

I have never been this scared at night in my car. Holy crap. The whole parking lot went dark and the lamppost near me started buzzing all electricalish crazy loud. Pretty sure I almost died. 💯 FR FR

Let me try this again: there are people you adore who could use a little boost tonight. Good friends who need to be reminded. Remind them!

I can write journalistic politics! Should I add a resume bullet for pissing off and getting blocked by a lot of journalists on social media? Or… leave that off? I mean, it’s a good sign I’m not afraid of being direct and reporting facts.

Boosting this as a happy SVL client as well.

This is similar to how Apple can render AI tools inside Scriv. QT calls out to native components for better performance - such as OSX’s textbox. Since AI tools run as part of that text box, Scrivener will get them. Apple doesn’t need to “inject” anything - the app is asking for it. However.. 1/3

As it’s Trans Day of Remembrance, this is a reminder to reach out to support the trans people in your life and community. It’s important to give material support when/where you can, especially during this challenging time.

If you're a cis person looking for ways to connect with the Trans Day of Remembrance, here's a list of suggestions: 1) Money. Give money to trans people. Especially to black trans people. Save the speeches and the somber memes. Give. Money. Not to the Trevor Project, to trans people. End of list.

Firings at Condé Nast hit trans journalists hard. When union representatives attempted to question the decision, they were fired in what the union says is illegal retaliation. That and more trans news leading off the week this Monday AM. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Went to an lgbt+ thanksgiving thing and got SO MANY compliments on my outfit. Holy fuck girl, you were ROCKIN it. I’d like to thank Thrift Stores for doing their part 😂

Friendly reminder that I'm adorable and also broke. 🖤 I'd prefer you support my work but obviously will gratefully accept tips or contributions to my GoFundMe. If you can't support, reposts are appreciated 🫶🏻

Who would be both this naive and blind to the fact that people are doing thi— Ohhh, staff writer at the Atlantic. That … actually makes perfect sense now. *Maliciously* intentionally ignorant. Yep, tracks.

Hey hey all! If you’re looking for jewelry for the holidays and like my designs, keep in mind it can be 3-4 weeks for jewelry to be cast and shipped! Don’t wait till the last minute! thangs.com/prints/desig...

Am realizing this kinda sorta, definitely maybe looks AI generated…. hmm….

I dunno. What do you think? Just playing with light and color.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Where to dispose of sharps containers? Medical Professionals: "find a local biohazard collection site such as a hospital or pharmacy." Pennsylvania Gov:

Hi please consider getting holiday gifts from my store because the first of two supplies orders arrived today and *panic laugh*.

did you hear about the storm that wrecked all those ships in the harbour? it was assigned maelstrom at berth

It reminds me of the conspiracy chart; once you're near the top, if you believe one conspiracy you usually believe all of them. It's got you at that point.

🔔🔔🔔 - the goal of the NYT isn’t balanced reporting. It isn’t left leaning at all. Its like a lazy river slowly pulling liberals downstream towards conservative goals. Those elite know it’s not the far right or far left that decide elections. It’s the folks in the middle. That’s what the NYT is for.

Damning new emails released by House Dems indicate that Trump "spent hours" with an alleged victim at Epstein's house and he was "the dog that didn't bark."

WHYYYY 😭

We have a pedophile rapist president.

Don't forget Transanta is happening again this year for the holidays buy.transanta.com

Whelp this is something I'll never be able to remember any other way now. Smh my fucking lesbian brain

This poem was written while sitting in the women's restroom in the U.S. District Courthouse in Chicago Illinois while Greg Bovino stood outside in the hallway

Mad props to the guy walking around in the coworking space with the blanket in his backpack. It does get a bit chilly here. Good idea.

If you're a cis person reading through this thread and all the responses from the various transfems who've weighed in, then you should absolutely send some money to us. We're often denied employment, denied access to income, and scrape by on the verge of homelessness. Find a transfem and give them $

Missing the days when you could search for something on a site and it actually prioritized things that matched your search…

Nothing wrong with this. If anything, the two careers have a lot of similarities. Just that one of them is dirty, unethical, and immoral, and the other one is sex work.

Sounds based to me. More politicians should follow sex workers. Sex work is work and sexuality is normal. The weird thing is when religious people are conditioned to toxically entangle their faith & shame with regular sexual desires. The weird thing is stigmatizing & criminalizing working people.

i wanna go home
