Trans healthcare needs to be led by trans people, to be accountable to trans communities and trans youth.
Folks who don't believe in the existence of a trans child cannot continue to hold the reins of healthcare policy and governance.
This is where we start.
OPINION: "The administration says ICE is here to protect us. But it is the nature of ICE, not its form, that makes the biggest impact," Kevin Edwards writes.
So I rescued a cat that was outside for a month and a half during the Chicago cold snap. She went in today to the vet for wellness check.
No FIV. No chip. Healthy.
TEN MONTHS OLD.
I am furious. Stop letting your fucking cats outside, especially kittens. Fuck you if you disagree.
That's one of the worst things about it. They're trying so hard to force it and it's infuriating.
The blatant consent-manufacturing lie about Iran possessing nuclear weapons threatens to overshadow the promotion of the Iranian version of Ahmed Chalabi.
I hate it so much. I LIKE my brain, stop trying to make me stop using it.
FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF
If you wanna be a full-time Creative, you have to be okay with the fact that you'll spend years honing your craft, devoted to making the equivalent of a perfect soufflé - only to be asked to make mac and cheese over and over again. But you'll live for the soufflé moments. 🖤
Nancy by Ernie Bushmiller. First panel, Nancy talking to a logger sawing a tree and pointing to a carved piece of trunk. Nancy: Can I have that piece? My boy friend carved it. Logger: Sure. Second panel, Nancy is watching the log burn in the fire place. Nancy: I'm mad at him.
Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.
Writing guardian, guardian of the writer. Writer's block quivers before her.
Gonna tap my "But the solution to dictator isn't America-flavored dictator" sign until my hand falls off.
“If I’m doing math billions of times that doesn’t make the base process somehow more substantial. It’s still math,”
Absolutely brilliant article by
@xoxogossipgita.bsky.social on @aftermath.site about gen AI, tech, and tech burnout. (h/t @scottdagostino.ca )
Ahh, chud behaviour. 50% predictable, 50% braindead.
Very kind words from someone who makes far more engaging content than I do.
Ofelia Torres, the teenage Chicago Public Schools student whose fight against cancer while her father was detained by ICE came to represent the federal government's overreach during Operation Midway Blitz, has died. Brave young woman. I will never forget her. RIP.
Our court system is largely working, with the exception of the most important court
That Kristi Noem propaganda ad playing while I was watching Inglorious Basterds was kinda on the nose, HBO
Pleading with people to understand the scope of this.
It won’t just be for immigrants.
They will use these camps to detain anyone they deem as an “other”.
The disabled. The homeless. Trans people. Political dissidents.
Your tax dollars will be spent incarcerating people without due process.
ALL ABOARD!
For my fellow #voiceactor people:
Y’all, if a practice event is using ChatGPT scripts, skip it. First of all, you deserve better quality material (and instructors) to work with. Second, showing disrespect to writers or any other creatives by using GenAI trained on their work disrespects all of us.

I wear it with pride. 🥰This is when I first got it in 2021, it's much more worn and flaky now, but still good.
I want to play a character who gets to drop the mother of all badass one-liners before beating the villain. Or the villain who drops the mother of all devastating one-liners before killing the hero.
You can see my theme here.

His friends are officially in the driver seat now
They will absolutely use this for TRACKING and other stuff
Even a secondary form of compensation (NOT EXPOSURE) is better than nothing. I worked on a podcast that was unpaid, but we got really nice free t-shirts and stickers to commemorate it. That meant something when the project was not going to make barrels of money.
It feels like a millenial nightmare being replayed in real time with a horrific new twist.
He would cackle at them and we would cackle along with him.
The jackboots are out here saying "One heritage, one people" and liberals are like "One more training can fix this, just one more training bro please"
I’ve seen a lot of exceptionally smart peers buy this idea without interrogating it. If these models could be trained solely on even medium sized data sets, the consumption race between the big players wouldn’t be happening.
There are 2-3 companies that own an amount of assets that even gets close
Masked federal agents removing crates of belongings from the ICE shooter's home
It should be bigger news that masked agents were filmed hours ago removing potentially inculpatory evidence from the ICE shooter's house, clearly lacking evidence tags or chain of custody stickers.
Before we have word on whether he underwent a toxicology screen at the hospital following the killing
If you intentionally stand in front of a vehicle and the person is visibly turning the wheel to go *in a different direction* and you get clipped by the car but manage to keep holding your goddamn phone as you film everything?
Your life was never in any danger.
