i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Realistic painting of a white woman in 3/4 view from the waist up, with dark hair in a pixie cut and a bright orange blouse with a black septum ring, wearing a bright blue glove and holding a paintbrush, in front of blue Lunoids. Her eyes are wide open.

On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Telescopes Reveal Surprising Chemistry of a Rare Interstellar Object Passing Through Our Solar System Called 3I/ATLAS, the object is only the third of its kind known to astronomers, and it’s likely been heading our way for billions of years, carrying pristine material from another star system

Nice short discussion of the evolving understanding of 3I/ATLAS as this interstellar comet continues its approach to the Sun and more observations come in from various telescopes, featuring a lot of the observing folks 🔭☄️🧪

If you are having trouble knowing where to start, I would recommend going to the HEMAA Club finder to see what clubs are available on your area and go from there!

NYC CRAFTERS! Application deadline is August 22, and we still have open tables! Please apply via the link below!

Come see me, Flame Con! Table. N144

Come see me at Flame Con today -- table N144!

Always let them perform! Otherwise they might move on to another vacuum state.

Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.

If you are hiring someone for anything, please consider me. www.linkedin.com/in/jayedidin/

The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

Budapest Pride thread, from the ground

Democratic NYC Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Is Pledging $65 Million for Trans Health Care The Democratic socialist cruised to victory against former governor Andrew Cuomo in Tuesday’s primary.

Wrote about Mamdani's big win last night and what it means for trans people -- a potential NYC mayor who has pledged $65 million for city-sponsored gender affirming health care, including a new "GAC Access Hub" and more telehealth options

Cover of a forthcoming book: Textual and Artistic Representations of Guide Dogs in Northwestern Europe, 1100 - 1500 by Krista Milne

🦮🎉Delighted to announce that my third book is forthcoming this summer:
Textual and Artistic Representations of Guide Dogs in Northwestern Europe, 1100 - 1500

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.

What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.

Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

A question: If I offered coaching for writers--troubleshooting projects or habits, pushing through blocks, leveling up, body doubling sprints, things like that--is that a set of services people would be interested in? I'm doing a bit of that right now, and finding it both fun and fulfilling work.

Here's our rapid response list of orgs to reach out to if you're trans and in need of aid right now (or if you're cis and want an org to support): www.them.us/story/scotus...

Not exhaustive, but Quispe, @sal.gay, and I hope you still find it useful

Are you leaning for more, so old that she's culturally out of sync many iterations over, or old enough to view humanity as a whole as new?

One step at a time, sometimes easily and sometimes with difficulty. Embarking on a new adventure is never easy, but for all the mixed feelings this place has brought you, it sounds like you are starting a new journey with the person who makes it special; bringing home with you wherever you go.

hey i just wanna remind you i've published a bunch of comics with trans leads you should be reading;

Kim and Kim
Quantum Teens Are Go
Sex Death Revolution
Ojja Wojja
Girlmode

these are trans books by a trans writer and you should read them

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost
