There’s an insidious effect too. When Trans kids are allowed to develop naturally we develop as normally as a child whose medical history includes a tonsillectomy. No. Big. Deal. And that’s what scares the 💩 out of them. They lose us as the small, underrepresented group easy to demonize.

They even made DoorDash apologize.
DoorDash on Instagram: We messed up.
Our mistakes meant some NYC Dashers were underpaid or paid late. That's unacceptable, and we're deeply sorry to the Dashers we let down.
We've reached a settlement with the City of New York, and we will make this right by paying every impacted Dasher the amounts they are owed.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

What nation arrests and locks up the most 5 year olds in the world? 30,000 children under 10 since 2013? Clue #1: ~Half of the 5 year olds locked up are Black, because it's a super racist country. Clue #2: Other than Black parents, most of their own citizens don't care enough to oppose it.
Chart showing the minimum age for incarceration in each country. The chart only goes down to a youngest age of 7, which is a shame, because the United States can arrest kids way younger than that. I feel like the short-changing us. 

Most of EU has a minimum of around 14. The US of course is 7.

Vivian Maier is one of the greatest street photographers of the 20th century...yet her brilliant body of work went completely unnoticed during her lifetime. In 2007, her negatives were discovered when her storage lockers were auctioned. (1/2) 🧵 #StreetPhotography #WorldPhotographyDay
A black-and-white self-portrait by Vivian Maier (1926–2009), a brilliant mid-century street photographer whose massive archive went unnoticed during her life. Framed within a rectangular, arched medicine cabinet mirror, Maier stands facing forward with a somber, unblinking expression. Her short dark hair is parted to the side, framing a stoic face. She wears a short-sleeved, gingham patterned dress with a dark belt emphasizing her waist. Suspended by a strap around her neck is her iconic twin-lens Rolleiflex camera, which she grips firmly with both hands at mid-torso. On her right wrist, a simple analog watch is visible. The stark, direct composition positions her against an out-of-focus background, while a roll of "New Scottissue" toilet paper sits prominently on top of the mirror frame. The mood is deeply intimate and introspective, capturing the raw, private identity of an unrecognized master of photography.A black-and-white street photograph captured by Vivian Maier (1926–2009), celebrated posthumously as one of the greatest street photographers of the 20th century. The poignant, tight composition features a young girl with long, wavy dark hair standing on an urban street. She looks directly into the camera with wide, intense eyes, her mouth set in a firm, serious line. Her arms are tightly crossed over her chest, prominently displaying an oversized adult wristwatch on her right wrist. She wears a simple, dark-and-light horizontally striped t-shirt. She leans against a shop display window packed with leather gloves and merchandise price tags. The lighting is soft but revealing, highlighting the smudges of dirt on her cheeks and arms. The photograph carries a moody, dignified, and emotionally raw tone, exemplifying Maier’s extraordinary ability to document the unvarnished reality of everyday people.
