The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

keeping the safety of the Artemis II crew in my well wishes

On top of the broader strategic issues Imani raises here, portraying this as the law being struck down risks giving false impressions to victims of conversion practices that they have no recourse and to perpetrators that they have impunity.

The world is on fire but there are still redbud trees.

Additionally, a piece we keep coming back to is @mady.cat's powerful reminder of trans survival in the face of genocide. Worth a read, especially lately.

i'm glad i'm not a lawyer so i don't have to pretend banning child torture and speech are in any way related

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Happy Trans Day of Having a Nice Snack! Fill this out and post/send it anywhere you like (if you're trans), and don't forget to buy a snack for someone else if you can (that's for everyone). Sending love today and every day — we WILL win and we WILL have treats along the way. xoxoxo.

The AMA said surgeries should “generally be deferred to adulthood.” (The generally established guidance) The NYT characterized this as the AMA having “backed limitations on gender-related surgical treatments.” What the NYT wrote is different than what AMA said. Full stop. 1/2

It's really wild that guys like Edsall will argue that it's imperative that Democrats support enacting *new laws* to create new restrictions and regulate something that can, should, and has been handled on a local/organizational level up until this point.

I’m at ICE HQ

PICNIC MAG IS BACK! Just in time for things to heat up, we have a steamy, sensual new collection of fiction, essays, and poetry from your favorite NYC transexual literary magazine and culture rag

The latest 5-4 Podcast @fivefourpod.bsky.social on Dames & Moore v Regan is truly helpful for understanding the ways in which we (Americans) have been fucking with Iran for decades. Strongly recommend giving it a listen

Approximately 950 non-tenure track faculty at New York University walked off the job on Monday, after their union and the university failed to reach agreement on raises and better job security. www.thecity.nyc/2026/03/23/n...

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

Horrific shit. I wish these teen girls the best.

Noah Williamson and James Stuart talk about how 183 Days came to be, starting with their relationship, their love for a novella, their playtesting process and their first visit to Denmark. www.3w6-podcast.com/podcast/2026...

when people talk about AI used in moderation of social media posts, you must remember there is always the human-in-the-loop, often a woman, often in the Global South, always dehumanised and forgotten 1/n www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

The world is completely fucked right now, but here is one person we can help. If you're able to, let's get this young gentleman through university.

I don’t choose that word lightly. The idea that an entire field of medicine, as well as numerous academic journals, systematically suppressed evidence that gender-affirming care doesn’t work is a conspiracy theory. Meanwhile, none of these people can provide a shred of evidence for their core claim

Weird how every journalist writing ‘balanced’ feature stories on this issue turns out to be a deranged conspiracist and ideologue the second you hear them speak off the cuff

I woke up this morning and chose violence buttondown.com/charliejane/...

I'd like to speak with trans adults (18+) whose access to transition care has changed due to state and/or federal policy changes. DM, email [email protected] or Signal joyurcaba.91

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us. It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg

Could an empire in decline do THIS? *launches deeply unpopular invasion cementing status as lunatic-led pariah state, its not clear what kind of move i was trying to do*

I know ppl here never want to be “uninformed” but it’s ok to not log on to a website that is just “oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck” on an endless scroll even if that is a justified reaction

i feel like this is all happening cause we stopped pumping up the jam

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there

Long, firm, tubular body, DEEP blue eyes, really wonderful expression. he is so calm, confident, really in charge here. Big, bouncy ears, perfectly set, a slender, whippy tail, and of course, those smooth, vibrant ribbons. Best in show.

the news has got me feeling like a husk today

This is a policy of genocide.

I guess I just feel pretty strongly that the lives of people who live in other countries are also very important

This was an insta-buy book bundle for me. Autonomous and The City in the Middle of the Night are favs of mine. Best of all they didn’t require me to jump through any de-DRMing hoops. I just downloaded a bunch of epubs to my reader app.

rolled credits on Disco Elysium for the first time earlier today 🥲 what a beautiful game

This is horrific beyond words

point for woke

Epstein’s economic power among academics was made possible by a capitalist system that makes higher education dependent on the charity economy rather than a public good supported by taxing the rich
