Can we be certain that AI isn’t writing the latest season of SVU?

I think rump needs to watch Roger and Me.

Reminder

We watched a documentary about the Zodiac killer, but it was a quick glance at the internet before bed that kept us up.

Don’t worry everyone. The AI has my book so we will never want for witty transsexual robots that are nostalgic about smoking in bars and kraft dinner.

They want to keep it quiet, so you know what to do.

Of course they did! Brilliant folks made meat without murder, torture, and environmental devastation possible, but we can’t have that, must protect the horrific status quo. 🐄 🐖 🐥 🐑

Some amazing news we all need. Read the thread!!! There is more!!!

Right after Trump said he'd stop federal funding, "for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested."

I want the timeline where Bernie had won the democratic nomination.

Genuinely baffled by what finally motivates people. Heinz was very on sale & untouched. French’s was full price & the shelf was bare. Meanwhile we’re all eating chocolate harvested by child slaves our whole lives. I got overwhelmed & left. I’m no hero, just too good for generic ketchup.

Watching the state of the union against my better judgement.

F

🤦🏻‍♂️

YES

Reminder!

1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

Sorting through a box of my dad’s stuff, I am unsurprised to find that he still had the number to my pager.

It’s too icy outside to be wearing anything other than sweatpants inside.

I’m ashamed of how long I bought into the idea that you can’t escape supporting harmful industries/companies. We act like these products are the air in front of our faces that we can’t help but breathe in. It’s such a cop out. Turns out I can just decide not to buy shit. It’s pretty simple.

Nationalism is a stupid response to this.

I’m a large if anyone is wondering

I wrote about trans community suicide prevention, including a 4-step guide to peer interventions with links to further resources, for Xtra: xtramagazine.com/health/we-mu...

@404media.co interviews @quinnae.com about LOG OFF, thx @janus.bsky.social for the interview and the wisdom! "There is also such a thing as having *enough* information."

What the actual fuck.

“Do not bend your neck for that which cuts necks.” A Sumerian proverb, as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.

LGBTQIA minors make up 40% of the endangered minor runaway population. They are 120% more likely to be unhoused. They are also uniquely at risk for exploitation and trafficking. This is breathtakingly evil.

Google’s mission statement: committed to significantly improving the lives of as many people as possible.

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

This important reminder is supported by a wealth of evidence that diversity is valuable to organizations, not because of optics, but because diverse perspectives increase creativity and problem solving. Surprise, surprise. Diverse experiences = diverse ideas.

Wrote about some of the bad stuff for the @thestar.com this weekend. Thanks so much for asking me to do this @debdundas.bsky.social. Look out for each other, friends, it's raining out there.

There has to be a way forward that does not involve lying about the calibre of Canadian wines.

I was being too old and boring to appreciate the song Pink Pony Club, but I just watched the Grammy performance and burst into a full ugly cry cause of everything.

Lol

A reminder that there are options of resistance besides nationalism. Oof.

So, a quick reminder ...

Bye bye bourbon. NSLC is no longer going to sell any booze from the states.

This is worth the read. I sort of regret reading before my coffee, but so grateful for journalists like @marisakabas.bsky.social

I am literally Bernie’s biggest fan girl. I just watched his 7 min rousing speech on TikTok about what trump has done and how we need to move forward. Not one mention of what has happened to trans people this week in his long list of trumps horrors. If I’m honest, it hurt my feelings.

I keep thinking about how the misrepresentation of the McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit convinced Americans that it was too easy to sue corporations — a laughable idea if you think about it for 10 seconds. It's the same with trans kids: The scandal is that care is too hard to get, not too easy.

I know I’m trans and everything, but all I can think about right now is the book blurb controversy. Kidding.

From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.

1. The EEOC acting chair, Andrea Lucas, has announced that a private business transgender bathroom ban is her top priority. This comes in the wake of a slew of anti-trans executive orders. Latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism. www.erininthemorning.com/p/eeoc-chair...

Vegan report (30 days in): I miss mayo more than cheese on my burgers. Easily remedied at home, but (entrepreneurs take note) I would pay good money for shelf stable vegan mayo I could carry in my purse. I would also happily start carrying a purse.
