HBO’s "The Last of Us" isn’t just a trans representation failure. It’s a huge step backwards. - LGBTQ Nation Hollywood often casts cis actors in trans roles. And it's particularly harmful here.

This was so disappointing, and I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who felt like they could have just cast Ian Alexander, who voiced the character in the game, and who does plenty of live-action acting. Instead, they're dishonoring Ian's original portrayal. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/04/hbos...

Recommending my friend’s first novel for TDoV:
A supernatural YA book with a trans main character and love interest. Manages to be sweet and funny while also unsettling. Brings up questions of morality and mortality but lets the reader decide how much to think about them.

Light pink graphic decorated with a pattern of roses that are pink, white, and blue. The graphic has an illustration of a note taped to the center titled, “Do you care about trans stories and voices?” Contains the following description: “Reading, buying, supporting, and sharing books by/about trans folks is a great place to start! Taking action against the nationwide book banning bill H.R. 7661 is another tangible way you can protect trans stories and the amazing artists who create them. If accessibility to trans+ books and stories matters to you, be sure to contact your representative(s) and urge them to oppose H.R. 7661.”

Did you know? Trans+ voices and storytellers are currently under attack with the proposition of the nationwide book banning bill H.R. 7661. A great action you can take to project and support trans+ books today is to contact your representative(s) and urge them to oppose H.R. 7661.

This is what Potter money pays for. Why pay money to watch pretend heroes when you’re propping up a villain in real life?

UK: 'Long Covid sufferers have been abandoned and forgotten about'

Darren thought COVID was just “a bad flu” in 2021 and bounced back quickly, but 5 years later he’s living with long COVID and severe fatigue, unable to work, socialise, or even shower more than once a week.

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.
