Can confirm. I moved to non-urban WA for a job. It's like being in 1980s GA, below the gnat line. People out here ain't right.

People in WA believe data centers are being built all over the state.

Colleagues from the East - 5 minutes before, colleagues from the South - 3 minutes before, and colleagues from the West - 0 minutes before.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Global climate change agreements note the vulnerability of certain populations.

While 85% of countries participating in the Paris Agreement include at least 1 vulnerable community in their 5-year climate action plans, only 8% mention LGBT & gender-diverse communities.

I have a theory, what works for the coasts will work for the middle of the country, if we just ignore the nazis.

So he affirms a proportion of trans men then?

Trans people were badly burned by the use of evolving social justice language as a class signifier in a class most of us are way too honest and real to be part of.

I understand the impulse to blame pronoun circles and tortured language, but the real problem was we were used and discarded like toys.

If you don't have reporters, you don't have a newsroom.

Elite queer private schools in every state. Zero tuition.

Possessed girl, possessed planet, possessed spider, witch?

This is how I found out that there are beavers in England, not just North America.

A) He has a Nazi tattoo. B) He should care about those two kids.

This is just a guess, but it simulates working in a collaborative environment instead of alone, which can be very draining depending on one's personality. The drain may be an unaccounted for drain on their social battery if they previously saved that for outside of work.

I lived in a city where one HS was already doing this by sending trans and visibly queer youth to the alternative school. The other HS had a normal one without any issues and would have graduated 7 trans students in 2020, but that year was a dumpster fire, so not sure what actually happened.

I guess being able to take journalism too was a reason.

Why wasn't it Renee Good? Oh...that's why. Thanks!

About 20% of the country is being hunted by their own government.

The moment it was crystal clear we were in the worse case scenario, was exactly a year ago when Trump pardoned every single Jan 6 perpetrator, including the ones that beat the crap out of cops and were convicted of seditious conspiracy.

That sounds great. Is there anything the administration can do to get ICE out of Washington or hassle them in a meaningful way while they're here? Get them off the streets? Prevent something like this from happening here?

I had already forgotten that Threads exists.

Same! This has generally not been my experience with Italian-Americans in my own life, who have generally been more conservative in all the ways Sinatra was not. I'm very surprised.

I was going to make the point about trans men too. Also, trans men receive less prenatal care so the odds must be a little higher.

Logically, the colors between 0 and 160 would be 40, 80, and 120, right?

It's Oklahoma. It's all part of a coordinated attack on LGBTQ+ people there.

The grad student lost her job because she's transgender.

For fun, I like to imagine how things like this would have landed ten years ago.

Nazism was 13 years.
