Mr. McKinsey was a transgender man and accused his wife, Candice Jang, and his in-laws of abusing him because of his identity, according to his filing for a restraining order in December 2025. He said his mother-in-law called him and one of his sons a “pervert.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

This makes me sick to my stomach. Imagine believing the social importance and cultural value of your job is directly tied to its market potential. Social workers and artists are crucial and urgently needed.

the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

South Dakota GOP politicians doing the Missouri thing and trying to screw over their state's residents. We need to understand this is a thing the GOP does because they Do Not represent the interests of the people in the states they control. They subvert and manipulate the will of the people.

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights** Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight.
From meteorologist Eric Snitil

**Lights Out Alert Sunday & Monday Nights**

"Heads up birders, I would not be surprised if the biggest bird migration night of the year happens over the next 2 nights. Birdcast is estimating 300-400 million birds will be in flight. That is a lot, but the pattern could not be better for migratory birds. A massive area of high pressure will turn the low level winds from the northeast to the southwest across most of the US. The last time we had anything similar to this in the fall was early October last year when a record 1.25 billion birds were in flight. I doubt we get to that level, but I suspect the number will top 500 million especially Monday night which looks to be the bigger of the two nights. You can help by turning off those outdoor lights on big migration nights, and the next 2 nights is about as big as it gets."

I learned this week that the New York Times was founded 175 years ago. There is a useful set of pieces floating around on this for journalism history buffs. But what struck me is that means the Times was founded 25 years *after* the black press which will celebrate its 200th birthday in a few months

Yesterday we held the first ever S-x Worker Pride March in Boston. S-x workers are your neighbors, your community members, and your colleagues, and we are proud of who we are! ☂️
A group of about 50 people standing with banners and red umbrellas in front of a brick building with a red awning reading “Jacque’s” and a gay pride flag. The banners, from left to right, read “Save Our Selves,” “Protect Trans Futures,” “Whores Started Pride: Decriminalize Sex Work Now, BSWAC,” and “Sex Worker Pride Boston.”

A pattern here is anti trans changes made under a labour government are assumed to be "reasonable and moderate" by people who would oppose them if a right wing government was doing them. This is worse for trans people because cis people just don't believe us when we talk about what is happening.
