Once again, if you are a senior researcher spreading doom to junior researchers, shut up shut up shut up. It’s your job to figure out a path forward, even in high uncertainty times. Come back when you have something constructive.

A lot of people are struggling right now. Including your queer and trans fam, and your artists friends, and the people who are both. The mental health pressures are real and the consequences are potentially devastating. Check on your people. Let them know how much you love having them around.

I'm not sharing the Braverman posts because every single one of them addresses the wrong problem. The problem is not a fringe politician expounding on her 19th century racial science theories. The problem is a publicly funded broadcaster platforming and normalising them. Several times a day.

The mayoral discourse in Berlin continues to be *utterly* unhinged. If the AfD had topped the polls the narrative would be “finally the people have been heard!” but since the Left won, it’s all “Queer Islamofascists and Woke are trying to conquer us with, er, affordable rents!”

It isn't about writing someone 'out of history' but rather writing them out of the collective cultural mythology. Maximum success is when Donald Trump remains in history textbooks as a cautionary tale but does not have a wax figure in Disney's Hall of Presidents.

"You just have to convince people." Dawg, there are a dozen conservative websites dedicated to spreading lies about trans people and billions in election spending. I just had to croundfund an outpatient surgery and I'm one of the biggest trans writers of our time.

I am actually grateful for social media today. If you are under 25, you are getting a more honest accounting of the post 9/11 era than I got about the post-Vietnam era than I did as a young person. I attribute this 100% to social media. Traditional media and US politicians cannot be counted on.

There are approximately 15 trans athletes this applies to. In K-12, the number of trans girls in sports is five. In college the number is fewer than ten, according to the NCAA President. West Virginia passed a law which SCOTUS upheld in June to keep ONE trans girl in WV from playing sports.

I’m a Texan trans kid who almost died because of Ken Paxton. The world should know what he’s done. This was very difficult for me to write, but given what's at stake, I cannot bear to stay silent about what I went through at Paxton's hands. He must not be rewarded for what he's done to trans kids.

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.

I know this is a common belief, but it’s not true. If people went anti-vaxx/MAHA because they were excluded from the medical establishment, we would see sky-high rates among poor people, minorities and the uninsured. We don’t.

Biggest problem with modern Looney Tunes, even COYOTE VS ACME (which I like) is that Bugs Bunny has been sanded down into a mascot. You watch him in the 40s or 50s and he's a freaky lil dress-up pervert who is down for anything. Assigned diva at birth. Nowadays, he's just a regular guy. Not my Bugs.
