that’s right the internet started going irreversibly downhill the day Reader died

Technology you’re most nostalgic for: Google Reader
Especially when I was a writer and business journalist, but even afterwards, I loved Google Reader as a way to organize news articles and feel like I got through them. It was just a great interface. I use Feedly now, which is pretty good to read news, but doesn't quite hit like Google Reader used to hit.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

Unique Vintage just decided potential bigot dollars are more important than my human rights welcome to being trans in 2026 please let them know this is unacceptable to you, ESPECIALLY if you’re cis: service@uniquevintage.com

Unique vintage’s new Harry Potter collection

I am so so incredibly disappointed to see this.
Licensed HP merch enriches JK Rowling, who uses her immense wealth to influence politicians to strip trans people of our rights. She is the world's biggest, most hateful transphobe, and is continually campaigning for legislative violence against trans people
She has been cited in court cases in both the US and UK that have further oppressed us for the crime of wanting to live our truth.
You sell pride merch, you claim to support your customer based and say we're all welcome, but when you do this you show trans people are in fact NOT welcome at UV.

You would rather make money and further enrich a hateful bigot than support your trans customers. Frankly, I am crushed. You should know better. You should BE better.
I have been a customer for years and your clothes have brought me so much joy. And you just said you don't care about me as a customer, or as a human being.
You just went from my favorite place to buy clothes to somewhere I will never shop again.
Thanks for breaking my heart.

I don't think we should mince words. Transphobia and hatred killed May Pollard. The Idaho legislature killed her as surely as if they'd pointed a gun at her head and pulled the trigger. Anti-trans laws were the gun. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

nbcnews.com

Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.

The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.
