I've been thinking about this a lot because of all the talk about how Dolly Parton "didn't take sides" and I think she's proof that if you don't want to talk about politics you don't have to, but she took sides with her money & her actions and her side was pretty clear. So is Sheeran's, I guess.

I mean, most law enforcement coverage in the US follows this formula: only platforming "experts", (i.e. cops and prosecuters) who believe wholeheartedly in systemic racism and rightwing propganda. Reprinting press releases and "official statements" as fact has been the core of US news for decades.

four-panel meme featuring Fred Armisen as the Venezuelan delegate Raul Alejandro Bastilla Pedro de la Cruz from Parks and Recreation, speaking in front of a classroom with flags in the background. Bold white text with black outlines is overlaid on each panel:

Top panel: "IF YOU EAT PROTEIN, YOU GET GASTRIC DISCOMFORT"

Despite the bloviating and sabotage attempts, Moderna’s updated COVID vaccine has been approved by the FDA. Despite the fact that it theoretically requires one preexisting condition, the list of conditions is enormously broad also if you want to JUST LIE. Personally I’ve never had a pharmacist ask

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ
Promotional image. Title: Gender Census 2026. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Images: On the left, a box with a Venus/female symbol on it, patterned with tree bark. On the right, a box with a Mars/male symbol on it, patterned with grass.

there’s also a very specific, textured experience of this that I rarely see in writeups of all this. Probably because it’s a finer-grained policy, specific to some kinds of items. But, stores won’t let me even HOLD or touch or put items like a flat iron.
