I'm currently reading @kkdumez.bsky.social's 'Jesus and John Wayne' so this paragraph from the latest issue of @garbageday.email hit especially hard:

This gave me such a needed jolt of hope. Not just for trans people, but for basic critical thinking skills and having a friggin' spine.

Screenshot of text, which reads, "This weekend, a Kansas judge issued a scathing 117-page rebuke of the state's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth—and in doing so, methodically dismantled the case against that care. In his ruling, Judge Carl Folsom III worked through the testimony of the state's witnesses one by one, finding that its anti-transgender “experts”—routinely paraded by groups like the Alliance Defending Freedom, SEGM, and Genspect—offered opinions built on "cherry-picked information, conjecture, and research taken out of context," and granting their testimony little to no weight. He then laid out 349 individual findings of fact, drawn from scientific evidence and the testimony of credible medical experts, documenting the safety and efficacy of gender-affirming care. He ultimately found that the ban likely violates the Kansas Constitution—which guarantees broader protections than its federal counterpart. That distinction matters enormously: because the ruling rests on state constitutional grounds, it is largely insulated from the U.S. Supreme Court and its decision in Skrmetti, which closed the federal courthouse door to these challenges but left the state one wide open."

Hello hellscape newsfeed, if you ever need a brief respite from the horrors™, I host a cozy li'l crafting stream every Monday at 6 PM EST. It's like escaping into a virtual pillow fort to do arts and crafts with your buddies. Last night I made wax seals for thank you cards! twitch.tv./jackisnotabird

Fervently reminding myself there can still be joy and calm in the world by taking breaks from the news to do silly little crafts in community with others. Join me tonight at 6 PM EDT at twitch.tv/jackisnotabird 🎃 Bring your own project to co-craft or just join for the chill vibes.

A photo of an old orange paperback copy of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, placed on top of an embroidery hoop featuring a work in progress in black stitching. Also on the hoop is a pair of stork embroidery scissors and a bobbin of black thread. In the corner of the photo is a sugar pie pumpkin.

My survival instinct to steer clear of people I’ve overheard making transphobic comments seems to have been defeated by my moderate face blindness.

Simpsons meme of a kid of a bus with a caption that says “(chuckles) I’m in danger.”

One of the best things @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social does is expertly debunk misrepresentations that annoy the hell out of me, but which I lack the expertise to properly explain.

What a wonderful graph to see on the week of my 35th birthday. Source: ourworldindata.org/data-insight...

A graph from Our World In Data with a title saying "How old are you compared to the rest of the world?" And a subtitle that says "The global media age splits the world's population into two equal groups, with as many people older than it as younger."

The graph's y axis show 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 years old.

The graph's x axis shows 1950, 1980, 2010, 2040, 2070, 2100. With a Note saying "Future projections are based on the UN medium scenario."

A line on the graph, and text along with it, explains that in 1970 the median age was 20. Today, if you're over 30, you're older than most of the world. And that someone born today won't be older than most until nearly age 40.

Me, engaging with media:

Seventeenth century diarists, they’re just like us. Love finding these awkward moments in the past.

Screenshot of Samuel Pepys’ diary reading, “In coming home I met with a face I knew and challenged him, thinking it had been one of the Theatre musicians, and did enquire for a song of him, but finding it a mistake, and that it was a gentleman that comes sometimes to the office, I was much ashamed, but made a pretty good excuse that I took him for a gentleman of Gray’s Inn who sings well, and so parted. Home for all night and set things in order and so to bed.”

Doing a little cross-stitch and chill over on twitch.tv./jackisnotabird Come join for co-crafting, co-working, chatting, or just to chill. I'll be working on this Emerald City pattern I can't get enough of.

A bird's eye view of a work in progress cross-stitch pattern on beige evenweave fabric. There are lots of greens and blues starting to make out the hints of an Emerald City palace.

A finished cross-stitch project in a hoop. It features the Emerald City and yellow brick road, with blue grass and red flowers as well as a rainbow and hot air balloon at the top.

The last TikTok I was able to load. Fittingly sentimental.
