When the TV show comes out, if I see anyone talk about watching it, I'm just gonna block and move on without a second thought. I don't care if we're mutuals.

It's really easy to just say you support trans folk, we're just asking you to put your money where your mouth is and not give it to one of the worst transphobes alive to show you mean it. If you can't even do that it's clear you just genuinely don't care about trans folk.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress (Gift Article)
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Your periodic reminder that the decision to pursue a professional ballet career happens at similar or earlier age to most youth gender affirming care and has significantly more lifetime impact on peer socialization, how the body looks and overall health than social transition and puberty blockers.

Nor'easter coming. Check to make sure your carbon monoxide alarms are working. CO alarms have expiration dates.
A carbon monoxide alarm with red exes spray painted on as eyes and a frowning mouth. The text reads: Are you living with a dead alarm? In a recent CPSC study, only half of surveyed households knew the age of their smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Check the expiration dates on your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms.

If I worked in a different field I really wouldn't care if you showed up to an interview with iced coffee. However in my world it would show that you fundamentally misunderstand the job because it's a pretty niche environment where food and drink are prohibited in many areas.

Dems replaced action on trans rights with hollow statements, then dropped those statements, then embraced anti-trans rhetoric. Now supporting anti-trans laws and blocking pro-trans ones. At every step the "they're betraying us" radicals were correct and "be patient" liberals were completely wrong.

There is something so unbelievably bleak about an article that calmly walks readers through how to navigate being laid off after 50, losing your health insurance, and somehow surviving the years until Medicare. What a broken country.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.
Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

There is no such thing as a perfect candidate. You vote your heart in the primary, and then strategically in the general. Sometimes you get someone you genuinely love. Sometimes it's harm reduction. Sometimes it's someone icky but convinceable. Sometimes it's "anyone but that asshole."

The problem is that "while you weren't looking the tech industry was comprehensively taken over by a cult based around a piece of Harry Potter fanfic" is self-evidently an absolutely ridiculous claim that can't possibly have happened, which is a real problem given that it 100% did happen.
