Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.

Key findings from The 2025 U.S. National Survey on the Mental Health of LGBTQ+ Young People include:

36% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including 40% of transgender and nonbinary young people.
1 in 10 LGBTQ+ young people attempted suicide in the past year.
44% of LGBTQ+ young people who wanted mental health care in the past year were not able to get it.
90% of LGBTQ+ young people said recent anti-LGBTQ+ laws, policies and debates caused them stress or anxiety.
LGBTQ+ young people of color attempted suicide at higher rates than their White peers, and nearly a third (32%) also experienced racial or ethnic discrimination, in addition to anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination.
Transgender and nonbinary young people who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.
Over half (59%) of LGBTQ+ young people ages 13-17 experienced bullying in the past year, and those who did reported significantly higher rates of attempting suicide in the past year than their peers.
LGBTQ+ young people who reported living in very accepting communities attempted suicide at less than a third of the rate of those who reported living in very unaccepting communities.

if you have to watch it / cover for your job, my condolences. but also, journalists have a responsibility to confront jkr's ongoing, rampant transphobia at literally every turn. ask every person involved about it. link it in every article. dont let them sweep this under the rug.

KOSA is never about protecting kids. It’s anti-queer and about making sure kids don’t have access to information they need to survive - from health basics to knowing they are not alone and not broken. And it will destroy the internet as we know it.

I'm going to be thinking about Train Dreams for a long time. Definitely one of the best of the year. It's out on Netflix today. I spoke to star Joel Edgerton (my pick for Best Actor this year, fwiw!) about creating those magical moments with Robert's family: decider.com/2025/11/21/j...

decider.com

Joel Edgerton improvised some of ‘Train Dreams’ best scenes: “If you followed a script, you’d never get these moments”

Edgerton praised director Clint Bentley for keeping things “free and nimble” on set.

‘dear rax, the VP at my day job is an AI true believer and it fills me with despair — is hope lost?’ www.patreon.com/posts/143594...

What I do know is that AI is not your fucking game and it's not mine. You see your slop-gobbling VP going one way, you go the other way. You hear me? The LLM-lubbers go one way, you go the other way. Hell, the hard part's done: you already know you don't want to live an AI-inflected life. A whole lot of people out there don't realize that yet, and for some of them the knowledge will only come after a great deal of pain, but you know what you must do. Write a novel, write a poem, scribble them on printer paper when your VP isn't looking if you have to. Get flowers for your desk and frames for your photos, write longhand in a diary every day. Buy a secondhand DVD player and secondhand DVDs. Smell a library, pull faces at a baby, splash cold water on your face. Call your friends on the phone even though it sucks and everyone hates it because texts and DMs suck more, just nobody realizes it yet. Pay for more things with cash and drop the change in a desperate man's paper cup. Cook enough of every meal to share with your neighbors, especially the unhoused ones. Sing Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" at karaoke because it's fun and everybody loves it. Live a life out in the real, palpable world that you can be a little proud of; refuse assaults on its dignity. You can only do what you can do, and life will feel wonderful again once you truly get that—fuck, I'm tearing up, believe me, it will shock you how wonderful life still feels. And the rest, again, is not your game.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.
