This is the most important thing men can do, and they must be doing it immediately. People create culture. People can change it. If you can't remember the last time you created some social awkwardness by telling another man to stop with that shit, you probably aren't pulling your weight.

I got a bill in the mail from a memory removal service and I'm finding it very difficult to contest the charges.

The Heritage Foundation laid out how they were going to rescind Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in education, by first targeting trans people's participation in sport. Capitulating on the human rights of transgender people is catastrophically falling at the first hurdle.

Gone are the mass raids and militarized metro operations. Gone are the pomp and pageantry. But ICE arrests have hit record levels. ICE operations are no longer concentrated in large American cities. Immigration enforcement officials are also working in suburban and rural areas, all across the US.
A map of the United States that shows immigration arrests per 100,000 people since ICE's new enforcement strategy began under DHS secretary Markwayne Mullin.

I feel for the folks at Epic who just did a great upgrade to things like “view my test results” and somehow the “what changed” message link on the dashboard is the one that got busted. Epic folks, if you're listening, that test results page is SO. MUCH. BETTER. thank you!

stand up for trans people: it is the right thing to do and it just will not hurt you, not now, not in this environment and maybe folks can start to relearn that trans people are pretty fucking cool, actually

Since Tapas is going kaput, I'm just saying if you want a backup host (particularly for your short comics), you could consider using @leaflet.pub This is a demo site I made with it, and I put up 2 short comics to show how it works testcomic.leaflet.pub #comics

OK friends I'm going to start a patreon around my writing. Which off these ideas appeal to you? - a poem every other day - a paragraph or quote from whatever i'm writing every few days - a video of me reading a poem angrily once every two weeks - a post of how it's going / personal blog every day

Haven't made one of these in a long time.
On the top, a panel containing a form from a call for speakers. it is in an error state. the name provided is anne gibson in all lowercase. the error message (under both first and last name, neither of which are labeled correctly for accessibility and internationalization) says all uppercase or all lowercase letters are not allowed. 

Below that is a longer note in a callout box that says please note that you're (emphasis) logged in as anne gibson (end emphasis) and submitting a session in that context. This event doesn't allow you to submit session for somebody else while being logged in as yourself, or to submit sessions for multiple speakers with the same account. 

below that is another warning (without the callout box this time) that says changing this will update your system-wide profile. 

panel 2: tommy lee jones in a sheriff's uniform holding a newspaper. he is looking over the rim of his glasses at someone just left of the camera with his brow furrowed. if he had laser beam eyes the person he was looking at would be dead.

Doesn’t @seananmcguire.bsky.social have a bunch of info about what mumps does to the testicles? Or was that someone else? Either way I think that info is very effective to convince people to get vaccinated.
