1. Major news in transgender care. Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines. They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the Cass Review in England. Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

If you still have Facebook and instagram maybe consider staying off of those so they don’t get the ad revenue.

In a world where a company will repackage a product to shave a quarter of an ounce off an 8 ounce bag of chips to save a fraction of a cent on the production cost, you better believe that they notice a few percentage points drop in sales from a boycott with even modest participation.

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

the media often says "in a blow to environmentalists" as if we're the only ones who live on this planet?

everyone hates the protest in front of them—too loud, too disruptive, too much. but they love the clean air it fought for, the weekends it secured, the rights it carved into law. comfort is built on the courage of those who refused to stay silent today’s disruption is tomorrow’s justice

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place advait.org/files/lee_20...

My latest. As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality. I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI. Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation.

The anti-DEI backlash is being led by a loud minority that doesn't actually reflect how the public feels.

Hey queer scholars, writers, & readers on the 🦋 site: I'm looking for recs for pre-21st century novels by trans writers (particularly I'm looking for post-WWII up to 1999). I'd also love recs for 20th century novels by queer writers that depict non-cis characters. Thank you! 🌈🎓 🌈🚀💫 #queerwriters

Billionaire Elon Musk has stated that work is underway to shut down the U.S. foreign aid agency, USAID. Officials have been instructed not to report to work and have been locked out of the building.

Hey Canada. If you’re watching this happen in Trump’s United States, remember Canada’s right-wing PM Stephen Harper did similar things, including muzzling and misrepresenting scientists. If you don’t want even worse things for Canada, think carefully about giving Harper’s protege Poilievre power.

i might resubscribe in the future but for at least 30 days i'm not giving them any money. i can download podcasts for free from apple podcasts, and i found a free app to download songs to play offline. it'll be an adjustment but it's one i'm willing to undertake.

one month's subscription cost won't impact spotify financially, but i mentioned their sponsorship of trump's inauguration in the comment box asking why i canceled my subscription, so they know.

i cancelled my spotify premium subscription 2 days ago. spotify donated $150,000 usd to trump's inauguration. i decided i couldn't keep giving them money and ignore their donation.

I do not understand why when something created by humans is damaged, it is called 'vandalism,' yet when we destroy swathes of old forests and nature, we call it 'progress.' It makes no sense.
theconversation.com
Old forests are critically important for slowing climate change and merit immediate protection from logging
President Biden has called for protecting large, old trees from logging, but many of them could be cut while the regulatory process grinds forward.
