Dear health and social justice organizations, As you discuss the benefits of machine learning (AI) for your organization, make sure that discussion weighs perceived benefits against the costs. Machine learning does have exciting potential, not least in diagnostics. In addition it:

Incredible evening singing along with @indigogirlsmusic.bsky.social and a few thousand new friends. Loved hearing so many classics plus a powerful encore cover of What's Up (What's Going On?) with Linda Perry.
Six musicians on stage. Background is an image implied to be an immigration enforcement office with the word VOTE overlayed.

The latest action rescinding the Title IX regs does not change the law. It is cruel, yes, but we should not panic and instead invest in state and local protections. time.com/article/2026...

Proud of the CDCers who fought to get this vital info out! 30% of our workforce is gone. Heartbroken by the loss of brilliant scientists, institutional knowledge, & frankly my friends, colleagues, & mentors. An understaffed CDC harms the public & leaves the US vulnerable. Rebuilding will take years

Beshear really has been a light in the darkness on trans issues. He's not perfect, but he's been remarkably consistent on telling other Dems that they need to continue standing up for us. It makes me wonder if he has a trans person in his life.

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

When Democrats attempt to triangulate on trans rights, it's my sense that many liberals and people in politics don't understand why many trans people are so upset. I wrote about the differences between then and now, what trans people have lost, and what we still stand to lose

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 17,180 cases across 48 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,700 measles cases (including 2 recent deaths) — a 35 year high. “Make America Healthy Again.”

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

Full marks to @catswrites.bsky.social's You Should Be So Lucky. Deeply relatable characters navigating loss and the complexities of being (mostly) closeted gay men in 1960. Sharply insightful, while also hilarious, sly and heartwarming.

The Nordic model does not work. The nordic model claims to protect and decriminalize sex work, but in reality it harms sex workers because it still criminalizes clients, friends, roommates, family. It encourages law enforcement to surveil sex workers. Let's talk about it.

If you’re not sure how to feel about fights over the rights of trans youth and the rights of parents “concerned” about or opposed to their identities - our this describes someone you know - or you just want an explanation of this SCOTUS order - I think this piece is really helpful.

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor." I have, multiple times. I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person. It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.
