This country seriously would rather children be murdered en masse at school than be trans. A single trans athlete competes in sports and hundreds of laws are introduced. Children are murdered on a daily basis and it's a fact of life. THINK ABOUT THAT FFS.

I have long believed that a person's opinion on Ilhan Omar is a litmus test for the kind of person they are, and that belief hasn't been disproved yet.

Legal representation should be like healthcare, and both should be free at the point of service to any human being who needs it. I will die on that hill forever.

I think a lot about how a community member from my synagogue was among those killed on 10/7 and they IMMEDIATELY called for everyone to come together to mourn AND reflect on the conditions that lead to 10/7 in the first place. It's not just possible to do both, it is necessary.

I dunno… I feel like a sitting US president inviting a foreign power to bomb two US cities and not being immediately impeached for treason might be… a story worth pursuing.

Republicans aren't just saying they will kill or institutionalize or forcibly detransition all trans people: they are actively and overtly *campaigning on promising it*. And every day, cis people are saying that trans folks are fearmongering, overreacting, or don't know what genocide is.

"Trans people don't need to medically transition to be valid" and "Enes Kanter and Royce White are assholes pretending to be trans for yuks" aren't contradictory positions. Self ID is vitally important, especially in a world where our healthcare is increasingly inaccessible.

Dear cis people, Please, for the love of G-d, stop using the terms "biological male" and "biological female." They're scientifically meaningless. Sex is a bimodal cluster categorization. The brain is biological, no? There is no one factor that's universally determinative of sex and gender.

I've been writing my book for several months now, paid for a more advanced model. Took a break. Came back.
Now Ms. GPT says she can't generate content in the style of specific authors. My prompts were soooo specific and I got exactly what I wanted out of them. For example,
'rewrite in the literary style of 'author here' with abundant dialogue and detail avoiding staccato prose. That was my go-to. Or 'please write and flesh out in the style of
'author' etc. they tightened the ropes. I have no idea how to get around this other than maybe feed it prose I already edited that's technically mine? Fuck.
