This is a good writeup and it also mentions that there are other anti-LGBTQ+ laws that still need to be repealed, including specifically anti-trans laws as well.

PROMOs 10 year plan is to create a pro-trans majority in Republican dominated Missouri. Is that even possible? How are they doing it? Our EIC @evanurquhart went to St. Louis to find out. Here's his story: assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

I have had so many people tell me that this thing does NOT happen in blue states - I keep on repeating that a lot of these anti-trans policies are either federal or (as is the case here) are implemented specifically in blue states.

If you're mad about the cancellation of Scavengers Reign, you should immediately go to your book shop/library of choice and read What We Are Seeking by Cameron Reed, which is, "What if Le Guin wrote season two of Scavengers Reign?"

missed National Coming Out Day. but came across this screenshot of the mass email i sent 12 years ago!
mass email from me when i transitioned. the body of the email reads-
"about 15 years ago i sent out a mass email stating that i had used the Troy Aikman quarterback rating system to decide that the right choice was to switch email providers from Aol to Comcast. using the same system i'm pleased to announce that the Troy Aikman quarterback ratings system has given me the clarity to go ahead and switch genders.
i'm available to anyone by phone that would like to crunch the numbers. thanks eveyrbody and sorry for the mass email! and thanks Troy Aikman!"

The Star Tribune has an article posted on 10/2…I can’t link to it b/c I copied ithe link & it’s broken. It’s well reported, worth the read. It’s correct to be angry about what was said today. It’s also correct to pay attention to what levers the government is pulling to enact its hateful agenda.
More than 1,000 Somali asylum-seekers have been ordered deported since February, reflecting the Trump administration’s continued follow-through on last winter’s federal enforcement action in Minnesota.
More than half the deportation orders involve Somalis living in Minnesota, a nearly tenfold increase from 2025, according to a Minnesota Star Tribune analysis of federal data.
Most Somalis living in Minnesota are either citizens, had legal status or were pursuing asylum claims. Earlier this year, however, the Trump administration cut off a temporary legal protection for Somalis living in the U.S. and fast-tracked hundreds of cases to immigration judges who rarely grant asylum.
More than 500 Somali immigrants from Minnesota were issued removal orders this year. Some have already been deported. Others have been sent to detention centers as far away as Guantánamo Bay, Cuba including at least two from Minnesota.

That's a low bar, I feel like you could ask for a little more there. But OK, I'll pick Jennifer Phang's near-future dystopia Advantageous. I haven't rewatched it, but I feel sure it's even more unsettling now than it was in 2015.

Fun fact: except in extremely rare cases (you will know if this applies to you), an extra MMR booster is completely harmless. So if your insurance won't pay for a titer check (some insurance companies are jerks about this), just go to CVS or Walgreens and get a booster!

"Your brains stop developing at age 25" was a press misrepresentation of a study. They wanted to see if brains continued to develop after adolescence, so the study was capped at age 25. A later study with a wider subject pool showed that brains are ALWAYS developing our whole lives.

this is why it's my pet peeve fake science fact. It's absolute bs! nothing happens to brains at age 25, they do not "fully mature". you will notice that many societies have an age of majority or coming-of-age or whatever and none of them have ever chosen mid-20s.

If you don't know this folk ballad it's worth a listen. King comes home after captivity, gets patriarchal about daughter's pregnancy, then sees her boyfriend and says "Oh, he's hot! That's great then, good for you. (Also I have gender feelings we won't be discussing)" www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ro2...

I loved this book! You should read it! Many books are compared to LeGuin, but this is IMO one that is actually interested in exploring the topics that fascinated LeGuin it's an incredible exploration of what queerness will look like in the far future also, it's a book that loves the desert
