Also found at the Thrift Store, in the CD section, whatever this is. My curiosity was worth the $1.99 to rescue this, if even the Richie Ashburn thing *alone* proves to be on here. I will let you know.

Do you have transgender loved ones? Are you trying to lend a supportive ear? Don't ask them to explain the politics of the situation. Few people want to describe their oppression while on fire. Better to focus on helping your loved one meet their immediate physical, emotional & psychological needs.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->

Black immigrants make up 5.4% of the undocumented population in the U.S., but around 20% of immigrants facing removal. Race is a factor in immigration enforcement just as it's a factor in criminal justice—in fact, the two are related. Great piece by Naomi Bethune: prospect.org/2025/12/12/v...

Pansexual Pride Day is a reminder that identities outside the binary have always been part of our histories and our communities, and offers the opportunity to celebrate ourselves, encourage education, and expand awareness of how diverse attraction can be.

#artadventcalendar I took a class on painting acorns this week. This is my second attempt!

For #ArtAdventCalendar a piece inspired by Sheila Hicks

I made my first zine in 1985, I believe. I’m still making them in 2025, 40 years later. In 1985, it was unfathomable that I would co-organize a Black Zine Fair. I’m excited to share that the 3rd annual Black Zine Fair will take place on May 9, 2026. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f... - please fund us.

#ArtAdventCalendar day 3

Today in #artadventcalendar, watercolor snowy trees.

Multiple large natural experiments have documented Shingles vaccine is linked with ~20-25% reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. A new report today adds to that and extends the to slowing the progression of dementia @cellcellpress.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex...

A college student complaining about a grade on a paper is not national news. Not even close. The details have minimal import outside the class itself. Well-funded political activists targeting profs and TAs—in this case because they're trans—with the help of elected state officials? National issue.

For #artadventcalendar, one of my favorite paintings I did this year.

Jupiter says trans rights

So true! I love to hear about the books you're writing or reading, and I need info.

May he fall into the traps he's dug for everyone else while pitching his shiny empty garbage. May he be haunted every day by his soulless approach to politics that sacrifices trans kids to keep a clear path to a presidential election that is so far out as to be imaginary. Fuck you, Gavin Newsom.

"Best" isn't really the term, but in 2000, at my now-ex's family Thanksgiving, a family friend told me that my wanting Gore to win (the election was still not over!!!) was the reason "we never should have given women the vote".

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

This year really is proving to be harder than ever for trans kids. So many feel the world has given up on them. Things like this can make a small difference, showing they aren't completely hated and on their own.

If you want to understand open adoption, it makes sense to start with birth parents—yet studies of them are few. 2+ yrs ago, I began talking w/ birth mothers to try to understand what living in an open adoption is like for them, and what rights or options they might have if challenges were to arise.

NEW—US Department of Education sent out standard Out of Office language to employees on Wednesday in light of shutdown. Later yesterday, workers tell me they found someone had updated their auto-responses without consent to a new one blaming Democrats. Version of original on left, updated on right:

Not a professional author but a linguist (sorta) and someone who cares about spelling: harassment and embarrass

Hey as a trans policy organizer for the past 5 years, it really is interesting how cis commentators see "trans people banned from gun ownership" as a five alarm fire of fascism, but didn't raise even the slightest alarm as 26 states banned healthcare proven to prevent child suicides. It isn't slick

Ahhhh I finished fabric Jupiter! This started as a painting reference then evolved into a piece of art. Next up I will be building the background. Just have to teach myself some embroidery stitches first hahah

trans people are not causing “trans terrorism”; trans people are disproportionately targets of violence and abuse not to mention government crackdowns

I'm trying to find good bra inserts for a teenaged trans girl. Looking for something that will size someone up from nothing at all and both overwhelmed with options but somehow not sure any are good. Anyone have recs? @trans.bsky.social sorry to tag hoping your followers might know of good options.
