My measles immunity waned in between my two pregnancies (titer tested immune in 2021, by 2023 I was not). would never have known but for pregnancies. Pregnant people cannot receive the vaccine so was unprotected for 9 months. Doc said 50 percent of her patients have waned immunity.

This arrangement is genius. The it works with the lower and higher sections to replicate key changes and how it’s sped up to reflect the theme of how work makes you feel frenetic and insane. Much love to whoever arranged this

Two-thirds of NYC’s income growth since the pandemic went to the top 1%. The richest 0.001% — about 50 families — saw their average income soar from $315 million in 2019 to nearly $600 million a year. It’s time to build a city that works for everyone.

Same for me in rural Wisconsin and also in East and South LA and in Queens. Like everywhere I've lived/hung out there have just been a class of people who helped other people live. And this has been on the level of organizations (libraries, community orgs) but also just that person in social groups.

That this was paired with an unearthly voice and an ability to write songs that devastate and exalt is so special too. But she’d be the first to point out that a lot of women have special voices. What im mourning is the world in which that which is already here, is supported not ignored or targeted

that kids have a nourishing and restful place when they need to be in foster care. That their best friends have a lasagna when they’re grieving or someone to care for them when they’re going through chemo. Dolly’s grace, her beauty, her eternity, is actually general, diffused everywhere.

Im truly loathe to have a take at a time like this, but I want say that what I’m mourning with Dolly is not her exceptionalism But her representativeness. Every town and neighborhood has 5-10 (or less or more) women who spend their days making sure kids have books to read, .

In the past weeks, several amazing feminists around the world with whom I had the opportunity to conduct oral interviews have been reading my book (here the incomparable Nighat Said Khan) 😳. I am lucky to have had the opportunity to write the lives and ideas of these fierce intellectuals.

There is a window of possibility for trans childhood that kids opened up in the early 2020s. You see this is the public sociality of trans kids on the subway, in first-year college comp classes, on the playground where two little femme friends run together in mutually produced and adoring freedom.

None of these accolades after “was born in the us” have anything to do with being an American and your claim that they do supports rather than refutes ”GOP othering” as you call Islamophobic white supremacy

Pluto books! One group that might be interested is Ppl with new babies who often have a hard time with reading so i will mention that my book is very small and easy to hold in one hand and each essay takes about one-two feeding’s worth of time to read for a 1-6 month old (before they get quick w it)

Attempts to segregate trans women and other q&t people out of public space may give individual cis women a feeling of compensation for misogyny by offering control via the very act of policing. But at the expense of generalizing material practices that violate everyone’s freedom and bodily autonomy

What about cis women who “feel unsafe” in spaces where other cis people are emboldened to harass people whose presentations they question and demand invasive information about people’s bodies?

Emma Heaney @riislover667.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
there is never an imperative for evidence of “how cis women feel“ about bathrooms/changing rooms. ppl like you suggest that cis women feel unsafe & this is taken as truth because if confirm trans misogynist ideas. The claim than drives media producing more individual cis women saying I feel unsafe.

Lots to say about this quote from Phillipson but I think a key element is how cis people are understood as 'biological' and therefore as having material needs (services, spaces) where as trans people are an 'identity' and therefore only have cultural/recognitional needs ('not being pilloried').
“I don't want trans people to be constantly pilloried on social media for being who they are and wanting to live the lives that they want to lead.

“But also I want women to be able to access the services and service providers to be able to deliver the services that they believe are necessary on a single sex basis for women who have experienced male violence. I don't think those two things ought to be in conflict.”
