You can't mine at Yosemite. You can't mine at Yellowstone. You shouldn't be allowed to mine in the Boundary Waters.

Republicans are trying to sell out our most pristine waters to a foreign mining corporation.

NO.

The long road to full HLS read/write support in Mediabunny is finally coming to an end. Last step for me is the documentation stage; write insightful docs for new symbol exported by the lib.

Always takes a while to do, but it's also quite fun!

Transgender Woman Defies Kansas's Extreme Bathroom Ban In Act Of Civil Disobedience At State Capitol "I am very sorry that you and others have been put in this situation," Gov. Kelly said.

1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws.

Add Samantha Boucher to that list.

Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u

Sports have never really been about having a level playing field.

If they were we'd be putting athletes into classes based on vo2max or whatever.

This is just using sports as a wedge to trick people into thinking the existence of trans people harms them.

A screenshot of a post from X (formerly Twitter) by Daniel Friedman (@DanFriedman81) discussing the perceived loss of influence of activist Alejandra Caraballo.
The text reads as follows:
"A few years ago, Alejandra Caraballo was a dangerous and powerful person.
Caraballo was one of a handful of people who shaped the discourse. When Caraballo tweeted everyone in media saw it, an army of reply guys and activists engaged. So, whatever Caraballo was tweeting about in the morning was likely to be the topic of discussion on CNN by the afternoon, or the subject of an op ed in the NYT or The Atlantic a few days later.
If Caraballo was displeased about the content of an article in the New York Times, editors there would have high-level meetings. In early 2023, 1000 Times contributors, substantially martialed by Caraballo, signed a letter condemning their own paper over its coverage of trans issues.
If Caraballo quote-tweeted you during this period, you were likely to lose your job.
But Caraballo’s power and influence wasn’t derived from people having a real or durable respect for Caraballo’s opinions. It was all driven by the algorithm. And after Elon Musk took over Twitter and made changes to verification, all that power dissipated.
Without Parag Agrawal’s Twitter algorithm shoving Caraballo’s tweets to the top of everyone’s feed, nobody saw what this person was saying, and when these tweets were gone, nobody missed them.
The premise that this was an influential person whose opinions people cared about was contingent on their posts being aggressively promoted by artificial systems. When the content was stopped being promoted, it disappeared, and nobody missed it or went looking for it.
Caraballo attacked the NYT on Monday for promoting a reporter who has covered trans issues with less than total deference to activist positions. The post got 374 likes on the other site. There will be no open letter this time, because Caraballo no longer has a platform that can reach

The only power I really have as a trans person is driving a certain type of terminally online person clinically insane.

Love to talk about how good NYC did promoting itself.

I lived there for a while when I was younger and pretty much every time I went to a new place something was familiar.

Putting together an analysis of all the anti trans laws over the last few years and there's never been anything like this in US history. The total number of state laws passed in 5 years (300+) approaches the total number of Jim Crow laws (400+) passed over a 100 years.

Colorado Anti-Trans Ballot Measures Certified: Evangelicals Who Backed It Call Being Trans A “Plague” A conservative political group in Colorado, aided by the archdiocese, is leading an attack on trans kids, their families, and their providers.

Two anti-trans initiatives have just made it onto the Colorado Ballot, pending any additional challenges.

They were backed by political arms of the Catholic Church.

The backers called trans people "a plague"

Now, they'll go directly to voters.

Idaho House Passes Trans Bathroom Ban With 5 Year Prison Sentence The bill is one of the harshest bills criminalizing trans people in the nation, and it will now move to the Senate.

1. In the most extreme bathroom ban moving in the nation, Idaho's House has passed a bathroom ban with a potential 5 year prison sentence for 2nd offense-using the bathroom.

It even counts "offenses" of using the bathroom in other states.

It now moves to the Senate.
