question: Hey Dr. Tingle, got any parenting advice? I’m pretty sure we’ve already got the unconditional love and support bit down, but wow this is an intimidatingly high stakes job!

answer: this is going to sound OVERLY SIMPLISTIC but in some ways i think that is the point, because the specifics will always vary but i think this part will remain the same:

your gift to your child is positive attention. it is simply to care

when they are young it is to take a moment and give them your time. to read to them. to play. to say 'hey what are you up to over there? wow thats pretty cool.'

when they are older they might start to push away and that is fine, you still just say 'hey what are you up to over there? wow thats pretty cool.'

when they are adults you will call them on the phone and say 'hey what are you up to over there? wow thats pretty cool.'

Harry Potter tattoo regret rate is an order of magnitude higher than regret for Gender Reassignment Surgery and yet no one has been brave enough to suggest we legislate Harry Potter tattoos.

if you watch and support the new harry potter show you are funding trans genocide globally by the way

Heater makes biscuits on an orange blanket. She knows tonight was disappointing, even devastating. But she also knows that the future is bright if we believe it to be so.

Heater makes biscuits on an orange blanket. She knows tonight was disappointing, even devastating. But she also knows that the future is bright if we believe it to be so.

To all of our supporters, donors, and volunteers, I can’t thank you enough. You are the reason we came so far and defied every expectation.

Get some rest. We’ll get back to work in the morning. And as always,

Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Free Palestine.

if your actual, honest opinion of Kat’s campaign was that she was entirely focused on internet likes then you wouldn’t be snarky, you’d be in awe of the fact that she just garnered over 25% in a crowded primary

Article screenshot: 
Others are drowning, attempting sustained thought in environments engineered to prevent it. They sit with laptops open, seven tabs competing for attention, notifications sliding in from three different apps, phones vibrating every few minutes. They’re trying to read serious material while fighting a losing battle against behavioural psychology weaponised at scale. They believe their inability to focus is a personal failure rather than a design problem. They don’t realise they’re trying to think in a space optimised to prevent thinking.

Every trans person is like "I knew something was up before I had the words to describe it and had to fight for this for years" and every transphobe is like "one conversation with a doctor could have convinced me to get the walrus surgery from the movie 'The Walrus'"

This whole idea that someone could be peer-pressured into transitioning, and that this pressure would come from medical professionals, it just fails the smell test on so many levels.

Remember my infographic about How Books Enter the Library? In this new version, I’ve added an annotated summary of Kelly Jensen’s “Books Don’t Just Appear on the Shelves.” Use this mashup to help folks understand how the claim of porn in school libraries makes no sense. tinyurl.com/how-books-2026

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.
