Assuming you're not intentionally a transphobe, please just ditch Harry Potter. There's plenty of much, MUCH better-written fantasy made by authors who aren't absolute shit.

And if you ARE intentionally a transphobe, kindly either fuck off or educate yourself, whichever you're capable of.

I wrote about trans community suicide prevention, including a 4-step guide to peer interventions with links to further resources, for Xtra: xtramagazine.com/health/we-mu...

the minimum NBA salary is $1.1m.

The plan?

Solve poverty by expanding the NBA to 30,000 teams, turning nearly a million people into millionaires overnight.

This means 30,000 new stadiums to build, millions of fans watching games, employees working games, and billions in new TV deals.

Worth noting that most academics I know use libgen on a regular basis and some upload their own books to get around high prices set by publishers. This site didn't come out of nowhere.

I agree insofar as Meta is wrong to use libgen to create a commercial product, but I hold that libgen has an important role in freedom of information -- banned books, students priced out of textbooks, etc. I don't want people to lose sight of the fact that Meta is the evil here --

It's wild seeing the class divide so clearly illustrated in the pearl-clutching to these posts. Do they know how hard it is to find a book published >10 years ago? Most public libraries do not procure books older than a year. Many independent researchers cannot afford institutional access.

Gov. Pritzker sits at his table at the French Laundry, a satisfied smile on his face. It’s been a long trip to Napa, but productive. “I thought Gov. Newsom was joining us,” his companion asks. “Oh I think you’ll find he has,” Pritzker says, taking a bite out of the Chicago style hot dog he brought.

i love when the vibe of the country is “extreme fear”

REYES: [The order] calls an entire category of people dishonest, dishonorable, undisciplined, immodest, who lack integrity, people who have taken an oath to defend this country, people who have been under fire, people who have received medals for taking fire for this country. I want to know from the government whether that language expresses 'animus.' Does that express animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: Not in any constitutional- REYES: In a commonsense way. This is a policy from the President of the United States affecting thousands of people ... to call an entire group of people, lying dishonest people who are undisciplined, immodest and have no integrity. How is that anything other than showing animus? DOJ ATTORNEY: I don't have an answer for you. REYES: You do have an answer, you just don't want to give it... People can make solid arguments as to why some or even most transgender people shouldn't be in the military We're dealing with unadulterated animus. We are dealing with the president of the United States dealing with a group of people serving their country... calling them liars. (Reyes then said she changed her courtroom orders to bar people who graduated from UVA law school from appearing before her because "they're all liars and lack integrity and are undisciplined and can't possibly meet the high rigors of benign a lawyer for the government" She made the DOJ lawyer sit down on that basis, then after he did, she called him back up and asked whether that was a display of animus.)

This is fucking incredible.

This is one of the most important things I've had to learn and to teach others. Transgirls, you deserve to live happily and safely. You are not a martyr and your death will not make you one. Survive God damnit.

Fun new rat fact

wheatpaste poster on a light blue wall, the poster depicts a distraught monopoly man being haunted by a skeleton. Overlaid is the text "capitalism thrives on death, death to capitalism". The poster is in a black-and-white block print style, a small bullet outline at the bottom edge surrounds the text "CrimethInc."

Monday

There are an estimated 1.6 million trans people in the US. That's equivalent to the population of Philadelphia. Imagine if the federal government suddenly announced that Philadelphians no longer have civil rights.
