Indeed. This point can't be stressed enough. "Sex-based" is a term we've always used to describe *discrimination*, and its sudden mainstreaming as pseudo-feminism in the UK reveals it as a poison that unravels the entire liberal democratic architecture of civil rights. I wrote about it here.

the fight for abortion rights is the fight for trans rights is the fight for foundational bodily autonomy for all of us. every issue is a queer issue and if you haven't realized this yet, don't worry. they'll show you.

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

#PPOD: The Venetian Lagoon spreads across Italy’s Adriatic coast in this striking satellite view, with the historic city of Venice visible among the islands and waterways. Bright turquoise patterns reveal sediment suspended in the shallow water, tracing currents and tidal channels in the lagoon. 🧪

Aerial satellite view of Venice and its lagoon, showing the dense red‑roofed island city crisscrossed by the S‑shaped Grand Canal, nearby islands and marshes, the causeway to the mainland, and turquoise waters streaked with boat wakes.

Talking recently to family members of people snatched up and expelled to third countries by ICE, I learned: 1) All of those captured were in 287(g) jurisdictions; 2) None of the family members had known what 287(g) was and had erroneously thought people with no arrests were safe.

"In short, our gentleman became so immersed in his reading that he spent whole nights from sundown to sunup and his days from dawn to dusk in poring over his books, until, finally, from so little sleeping and so much reading, his brain dried up and he went completely out of his mind.

Black and white art. Gustave Doré's illustration of the old Hidalgo sitting in his arm chair with a book in one hand and a sword raised high in the other. surrounding him are the monsters and damsels and Adventures that make up his inner life.

Using AI is fast. The output is not reliably good, so the need to check its work means the process needs to be slower than "press the button, get an answer" makes it feel. AI use has been driven by about a trillion dollars dumped in by speculators who will eventually want to get some money back.

Painting of a of a red-headed woman in a chair with a male hairdresser standing behind her. she's looking straight at us. her red hair, the dark makeup around her eyes, and her red lips seem like the three spots of color in a muted picture.
