Can I have some legitimate concerns please? Hello, UK government, I have a legitimate concern that temperatures will rise to a level that destroys many already-struggling nations, leading us in to an era of food scarcity wars. And now we wait for Andy Burnham to act on my legitimate concerns😎

...Assumption #4 has been driving me batshit, yet no one seems to realize it: if you're worried trans ppl might potentially harm your Dem candidate's chances, then YOUR CANDIDATE MADE A BAD DECISION! so why not join us in trying to get them to reverse position? juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...
screenshot from linked-to essay that reads:
Assumption #4: The elephant in the room that no one is talking about
There is a striking disconnect between Talarico, Turek, et al. — who have clearly made a political calculation that abandoning trans rights will help them more than it will hurt them in this election — and the many cisgender liberals I’ve encountered online who are absolutely freaking out over the possibility that trans people’s critiques and protests will ultimately tank said candidates.
Both of these things cannot simultaneously be true!
If you think your favorite candidate enacted the correct political strategy, then there is no reason to berate trans people for protesting it, as those protests should already be baked into your candidate’s calculations. So why are you berating trans people then? (Unless, of course, you enjoy berating trans people just for the sake of it.)
Alternatively, if you think trans people *are* capable of tanking your favorite candidate via our criticisms and protests, doesn’t that imply that your candidate (and their consultants and strategists) totally fucked up in their political calculations here? And if they did fuck up, shouldn’t you be reaching out and complaining to *them* (rather than berating trans people), in the hope that they might reverse their bad decision?

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

I don't expect trans people are going to have an easier time of it. Maybe the road will be even longer. But that's dependent on us fighting it now and constantly. If we let cis Democrats have their "legitimate concerns" as a treat, then we're in for a bad century. 7/x

This is exactly why privacy advocates have pushed back against age verification measures. These companies are reckless with their data and it can easily be compromised. It can leave people vulnerable to identity theft, doxing, and targeted harassment.

There’s an interesting thing happening on social media right now where people are insisting that to combat eating disorders we need to post and obsess over images showing how thin celebrity women are. That’s not helpful, it’s actually harmful, and I wrote about it. www.wired.com/story/theres...

There’s No Good Way to Talk About Celebrities and Eating Disorders
Online speculation over the weight loss of celebrities like Ariana Grande—even out of genuine concern—can make things worse for people struggling with eating disorders.

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon
Title: My confidence in my understanding of the scientific theory. 

A diagram where the confidence is marked in red on an otherwise white figure


Panel 1
"Before I got a book about it."
The figure is red up to about his stomach

Panel 2
"While I was reading the book."
The figure is reading a book. He is red up to his forehead.

Panel 3
"When I had finished the book." 
The red level has dropped  to around his mouth

Panel 4
"One week later."
Now it is at his chest.

Panel 5
"When I try to explain it to somebody." 
The level is back at stomach level.

Panel 6
"When they ask a follow-up question."
The red is so low we can barely see it.

It's interesting to me that any post about trans rights will be absolutely flooded with comments on the extremely super duper very urgent need to protect women's sports - but a post about a woman's sporting success will get maybe 23 likes. Where did all those avid supporters disappear to?
