Hello #PEPR, #MiniSquish is here! #pepr2026 #usenix

BREAKING: The Kenosha Kickers have backed out of Freedom 250.

BREAKING: Emmet Otter's Jug Band has backed out of Freedom 250.

I have re-purpled to prepare for #PEPR next week in Santa Clara!

Member of @authorsabb.bsky.social @jerroldconnors.bsky.social came through in the best way and assembled this for us all! Know thine shitty bills!

Trump’s refusal to release any of his medical records has reporters wondering just what it is that Joe Biden is hiding

Even as I figured for three decades it would be the most likely outcome, I am still surprised that my parents would jump straight to hatred for me, learning I'm nonbinary. And to claim that Christ would approve of their hate.

Companies are much more transparent about security and reliability bugs than privacy bugs. I've wanted solid data on this for a decade, but it's effectively impossible to get. 1/🧵 Obligatory notice: I'm not speaking about or on behalf of my employer. I'm speaking as someone who founded PEPR

I gave this toast last night at a party we hosted: To the family we're born into, and to the family we build. Tonight I'm grateful for the second kind. To everyone who's ever had a door close behind them and found a patio full of people waiting -- you are not turned out. You're taken in. Cheers.

A fun* update is coming to @howsmyssl.com! * only if you care about the cryptographic security and privacy of the software ecosystem we're all swimming in now

I should make a label service so we can label ourselves on here as "Radically Pro-Transgender".

Let this radicalize you

A bright edge of the sky. Hurray to Dr. Q Manivannan and Iris Duane on their election victories!

These fascist attacks on the privacy of young people receiving gender-affirming care should be alarming to all of us. It really is a moment of “First, they came for the trans kids.” (1/3)

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 May TJA Trans Journalist Assn does an excellent deep-dive on the administration's new counterterrorism strategy on imaginary problem of trans terrorism. www.transjournalists.org/resources-fo...

Living on the East Coast means my radio-controlled atomic wall clock is completely deaf to the atomic (WWVB) signal from Colorado. In the attached video, I am using my smartphone to force the clock to sync to exact Internet time via a clever hardware hack. 1/4

Please take a minute and comment that this is censorship

Re-upping this, since the poor Bluesky servers kept having trouble when I first put it up.💜

Star Trek Academy has really grown on me this season, despite my misgivings as the season started. I'm here for our queer Klingon king, and teen drama, even when it makes no operational sense. And I'm annoyed it isn't getting more runway.

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

Goodnight to everyone except this helicopter pilot

I am pretty sure that if a Democratic US President was in office, lashing out at the supreme pontiff, and blasphemously depicting himself as the savior, the headlines would describe this papal response as defending the church and not “hitting back.”

Truly unreal how this one fucking dickhead is psychologically abusing, terrifying and immiserating everyone on the planet. I don't know what's going to happen tonight but it certainly feels like we're going to need to be gathered in the streets sooner rather than later.

Your regular reminder that dehumanizing the people who are dehumanizing others isn’t how we’re gonna get to liberation. We have to live into the world we want to create.

Ah yes, these are the conservatives I grew up with

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

you have the incredible opportunity to hire @yaelwrites.com

Except you’re not fighting??? bsky.app/profile/erin...

Only 10,000 qubits needed? Oof. That's... closer and closer.

Don't even pirate it.

“It feels like we are fast-tracking our way into fascism.” #NoKings story via @caitlinsievers.bsky.social and @glorihuh.bsky.social

The #Tempe #NoKings protest was quite sizable today! It certainly appeared that we wrapped around the whole ~2 mile marching path, with lots of drivers honking in support.

These legislators think they're so clever with their backdoor normative references -- thankfully we have good people watching them. But we need massive outrage. They're very clearly aiming to murder us.

People don't realize how common DSDs are, especially chimerism. You can even end up with XY cells floating around you body from giving birth to a boy. So, yeah, Alejandra is absolutely correct.

she's literally funneling the cash from all her various media ventures into a money gun and pointing it directly at whichever institution promises to hurt trans people the most. she's not even lying about it. she's just telling you that's what she's going to do if you give her more money

J.K. Rowling's anti-trans stance was exposed in 2019. Almost 8 years ago. Listen to queer folks! There is no excuse to be supporting this hateful author in 2026. 🏳️‍⚧️💙🏳️‍🌈

We cannot give this FCC more power than it has. Broadcasters, journalists, and the public should recognize these empty threats for what they are and fight to defend the First Amendment against any attempt to control or intimidate the press. 🧵

Spent lunch today rolling up an enby expert technician in Stars Without Number for a game that maaybeee might start on Pi Day, name of Jules. #ttrpg

Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people. This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists. The study underpinning this played one particular trick. Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

At the AZ Renaissance Festival today, I had a very #enby moment: while getting a cider for my partner, the bartender used "ma'am" for me the whole transaction. Until I turned & walked away, and she felt the need to call me back and apologize (?) 1/2 #renfaire

I'm actually convinced that a hefty proportion of anti-LGBT+ rhetoric is prompted by completely repressed parents not wanting to have to discuss sex, however obliquely, with their own damn children. (Not the really hateful bigoted stuff, obviously. Those people are just hate-filled)

This isn’t contradictory if you believe that both women and children are property

People are people. Even if you disagree with them, even if they're confusing to you, even if they hurt you. If you watch people doing this, you can see them ripping out part of their soul. We aren't getting into a better world without *all* of us getting there.
