Periodic reminder that rather than disabling FaceID on the off chance that you may have an encounter with law enforcement, you can temporarily disable it and require a passcode by holding down the power button until the power down menu appears. www.pcmag.com/explainers/s...

Stop Using Face ID Right Now. Here's Why
Biometric locks like face recognition are convenient to set up—but because of a legal loophole, law enforcement can bypass them more easily than a traditional passcode.

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

European Parliament Votes Overwhelmingly For "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women"
The resolution, though nonbinding, is a significant shot at those who seek to erode transgender rights on the continent.

I’ve heard that good things come to those that wait, and getting my physical copy of @jeffcannata.bsky.social’s book today was an unexpected surprise! The bonus limerick included with the autograph made it feel extra special!

Super excited about how the Blackhawks finished this season and really can’t wait to see what the future holds! I expect next year we will be at least knocking on the door of the playoffs and we should keep improving for the next several years! Playoffs are gonna be fun, but… Is it October yet?

PSA for iPhone users: you can temporarily disable FaceID or TouchID on iOS by holding down the side and volume down buttons for a few seconds until the power down screen appears. Your phone will require your passcode to unlock, which you are not required to give without a warrant from a court.

Loved to see support for both @erininthemorning.com and @zoandbehold.bsky.social today in Chicago at a rally for trans rights.
A rally attendee holds a sign that says “Follow Erin in the Morning” with a QR code and a sign that reads “Proud transsexual menace” with a smaller note with the same message. Several signs held by rally attendees, one of which contains a quote attributed to Zooey Zephyr “it’s easy to stand tall when you’re on the right side of history”

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper. Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

Less than a week before we turn the clocks ahead, a less then 3 weeks before the sun sets due west, signally the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Despite whatever is going on in the world, time marches on.

I ordered way too many Girl Scout Cookies, from both east and west coasts. Using this list to specifically support the most vulnerable kids and getting to read about their goals and interests is the antidote I needed for everything going on in the world. If you’re in the market… buy from them!

4 executive orders now against trans people. He’s banned us from sports, the military, schools, and healthcare. Representatives are calling us slurs in Congress. So are y’all done yet? How much further do y’all plan to take this? And at what point will other people care?

Everyone can see the anti-trans movement is everything we said it was now. They're trying to wipe every mention of trans people from existence because they know the science and evidence is against them. It's absolutely undeniable now. It's so evil and extreme

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

Weird feeling the next six
months are going to be like
the start of the pandemic
where my phone tells me the
world is ending but I walk
outside and it seems fine.
Then less fine. Then the
world is ending. Then people
are in the streets. Then the
streets are on fire. Then the
helicopters show up. Then
everyone in power decides
the people were wrong and
the helicopters were right.

Remember when people would deny transphobia by saying they aren’t afraid of trans people? Or that nobody is doing anything to trans people to take their rights away? How quaint.

This was a very hard week on every dimension imaginable. It seems impossible to endure get through a harsh cycle of trauma and healing, and that’s just the things on the path I’ve felt I have no choice but to take. Add in the constant barrage of news, and the future looks very bleak.

Just to be clear… these same people that were crying for years because of “cancel culture” that had virtually no negative impact to anyone’s livelihood are celebrating the mere idea that the things they don’t like are literally cancelled, suspended and defunded. Cool… cool. I’m sure this ends well.

Perhaps I’m foolish and naive, but I’m clinging to hope that we still have enough functioning systems of government and layers of insulation down to the local level to resist total capitulation. If we manage to survive this and right the ship, history will not be kind to this most shameful time.
