One thing I wish people would realize is just how central JK Rowling is to the entire anti-trans ecosystem. Looking at a network node analysis of the top 200 anti-trans X accounts, she is the most central figure spanning both sides of the Atlantic from Republicans to Labour.

A network graph visualization on a dark background showing connections between various accounts. The central, highly connected node is labeled "J.K. Rowling," with lines radiating out to many other nodes color-coded by region (UK, US, etc.). A detail panel on the right displays stats for her account, including her role as "Author & commentator," an in-degree of 153, an out-degree of 84, and 14 million followers.

A scatter plot graph on a dark background comparing accounts based on "followers (log)" on the x-axis and "in-degree" on the y-axis. The data points are color-coded by region. J.K. Rowling is highlighted as a major outlier in the top right corner, possessing the highest number of followers and the highest in-degree. Other labeled points lower on the graph include various politicians, individuals, and campaign organizations.

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

Promotional image. Title: Gender Census 2026. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Images: On the left, a box with a Venus/female symbol on it, patterned with tree bark. On the right, a box with a Mars/male symbol on it, patterned with grass.

Happy Pride Month. If you know a young person (age 13-26) in the US who is getting their access to queer library books restricted because of local small-minded folks, please refer them to the Books Unbanned program. More people should know about it. #pride booksunbanned.com/card

This reminded me of something - have looked it up: JBS Haldane, 'The Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose' in Possible Worlds, 1927, when 'queer' presumably did not have quite the connotations it would now. Even so....

'Tis the season of New Year's resolutions! But, if you, like me, are guessing that 2026 will be full of uncertainty and disruption I'd offer a slight twist. Think about how, in the year to come, you can invest in your coping capacity.

Em dashes are prevalent in professional writing and LLMs were largely trained on stolen professional writing, therefore LLMs use em dashes. In the name of God, stop talking like Skynet has its own house style.

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

Actually, this is important enough to bring out of replies to the top level: if you're in the US and active on social media, and ESPECIALLY politically active, this is a simple step you can take to mitigate the possibility of legal action against you destroying your life.

Hey, so if you’d rather just see most recent replies to skeets it’s pretty easy: you’ll go to Content and Media and change the setting back to “Newest replies first," because it defaults to this new “hotness” thing.

Pls do follow the original @boschbot.bsky.social . He’s the one that started it on social media. Boschbot posts RANDOM small fragments of 4 major Bosch works, generally including the outside panels. This gives a unique opportunity to discover details. Even for me, after 5+ years of following him…

The inside panels of the so-called triptych “The Garden of Earthly Delights” of ca.1500.

The New England Journal of Medicine just published a summary of the new NASEM definition of Long Covid, in case that can help you figure it out! You don’t have to read the whole thing, if you scroll to “Box 1” (just below Figure 1), it has a good summary of the summary! Also great to share w/a GP.
