I got into an extended argument with a friend about this yesterday. I hate that for various reasons I didn't make it out there today, because protest is one of our defining freedoms and absolutely makes a difference

One other thing I wanted to say is that, unless what I write is about trans issues, few people end up reading it. So shares and quote posts are very appreciated.

Goodbye @barkbox.bsky.social . I can't support a company that licenses Harry Potter toys.

Unfortunately it turned out the mandate was supposed to be making friends with other humans using the power of French fries and not making friends with the fries themselves, and that misconception was my doom

For f***s sake people, a case study of a condition in a minoritized population that occurs in the majority population does not indicate increased risk! It just indicates that the condition has occurred in a person who happens to be in that population. Without a denominator we know nothing!!!!

I thought I saw lightning and was so excited

It’s hard to be functional in the face of fascism

Thank you! This is exactly what I was trying to understand.

Well yes. But what’s the actual standing of things when federal requirements for institutions are in violation of state law? Can no institutions receive funding? Must the law be overturned? What’s the procedure and what supersedes what? I don’t understand the mechanics

There should have been a question mark at the end there, because you’re who I instantly turn to about trans related legal info.

Fascinating and in direct opposition to Massachusetts laws on public accommodations. No idea how that shakes out in a legal sense. Does state law override institutional funding requirements

Universities need to stop making "deals" with the current administration. They're not going to be saved by them. They're just accelerating their own destruction. That Brown agreement is horrific

Do we think they had the ability to fight this/fight this more and just didn't?

So disappointing

*chef's kiss*

I also have one of these, and I love the climate start so much. I stay toasty warm in the winter and the dog stays nice and cool in the summer.

Nothing guarantees that it will be impossible to find a thing that you are looking for like remembering that you had decided to put it "Someplace Smart"

This is infuriating.

Doing a literature review and frustrated that no one in a particular area has asked a specific question... and then realizing that you are one of the most published people in that area and so you are frustrated at yourself. Do better, self!

Was I just looking for an excuse to cite @juliaserano.bsky.social 's critique of autogynephilia or did I actually need that paragraph in my paper revision? Who can say!

It's so goooooooooddddd. Loving the sound design on the episode. Extremely immersive.

The timeline is definitely not moving in the right direction. After a period where things were improving, if only mildly in places

It's not just bad in the US. It's terrifying in the UK.

When I’m feeling anxious and fussy, nothing relaxes me like a nice data analysis.

This was an awesome thread. Thank you for writing it

I believe in you! Your ideas set brains on fire! With a match made of Neuro!

Are random hyphens throughout a text a sign that a manuscript is generated by AI? If not, what the heck is going on in this article I’m trying to review.

Omg me too!!!!

This country is legitimately terrifying

I love Magic Shell because it’s Magic and reminds me of childhood
