It's #TransDayOfVisibility2025. We're never going to be erased Some people just can't accept that the world is so much bigger than their narrow little minds They're going to have to learn to open their hearts and accept that their simple gender scripts were only ever the starter pack

*deep breath* Your clothes. Gendered. Your hair. Gendered. Your facial expressions. Gendered. The way you walk. Gendered. The way you talk. Gendered. Your mannerisms. Gendered. Your gestures. Gendered. Your voice. Gendered. Your self expression. Gendered. Your relationships. Gendered. #nonbinary

I’m sad to learn that my law school classmate, Kiah Duggins, died in the DC plane crash last night. Kiah was an exceptionally talented civil rights lawyer and aspiring legal scholar. I hope you’ll read about her work and the causes she cared about, some of which I’ll 🧵 below. What an immense loss

Every headline should read "One Week after trump fires FAA staff, the US has its biggest plane crash in over a decade"

Please: every time you see a completely out of pocket announcement from the trump administration about some illegal action they have taken, I am begging you to go to a search engine and look up whether it's already been blocked by a judge before spreading panic

Other things that libraries do or have: 1. Host citizenship classes 2. Host ESL classes. 3. Have seed libraries. 4. Have autism support kits. 5. Have Narcan on hand for overdoses. 6. Have developmental toys 7. Have language learning databases. 8. Lend laptops & hotspots. #booksky

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #766: Writing is a community. Participate in it if you can. Engage with other writers. Lift them up, and they’ll do the same. Try to go it alone, or treat other writers as rivals, and you’re more likely to sink than swim.

Humans made up everything in society, each & every bit. That means we can unmake it too. We don't have to move as if having the most 1s and 0s in your bank account qualifies you to make impulsive uninformed decisions that effect the whole world. Capitalism is a choice and we can choose again.
