the thing about Ensign Kellogg on TNG being played by a stealth trans woman really is like we as a community always say…we've ALWAYS BEEN HERE. Just because people didn't realize it doesn't mean we weren't here.

DISABILITY, LIKE ENTROPY AND THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE, COMES FOR US ALL. Like, there's no way to avoid disability because our bodies are not immune to the rigors of time. We AGE. Our vision gets worse, our joints less able, our cognitive functions fail.

Pointing and laughing at people who created a community to try and protect the disabled and chronically ill is not allyship actually.

if an article about this conflict HAD to be written, you nailed THE major underlying structural problem at the heart that should’ve been the main subject: “lack of public health tearing apart community space that values accessibility to all” would be a much more apt headline.

anecdotally, a sign that our culture is fucking regressing on gender is that multiple nonbinary people I've interviewed are telling me to misgender them because they're on the job market and they fear discrimination

“J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop,” Wachowski says. “So, if you support Harry Potter, you’re supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world.”

When you say "single issue", you're just telling me whose lives you don't value. When you say it's fine to have the government mandate or withhold medical care, you're just telling me you're ignorant and you can't even imagine a life different from yours.

Ok. Just a teeny tiny short story time you can enjoy while you eat lunch, since this is still bouncing around the internet. A lot of folks are harping on about wanting our politicians to support the rights of trans folks being a "single issue voter" situation, and we're just naive.

Heat. Kills. AC is not some kind of fancy luxury for rich people, it is a lifesaving health intervention. Heat is an especially big problem in low-quality housing (like...what poor people can afford) and for people who work outside and need to cool down at night to avoid things like kidney injury.

Heat kills thousands of people across the U.S. every year. The risk is especially high for the millions of Americans who live in manufactured housing like mobile homes and trailers.

I really think the big Potter problem is that most people who aren’t terminally online genuinely don’t know how active and influential Rowling is in pursuit of her bigoted agenda. They think we’re just angry about her views, rather than her actions. I think it’s important to tell people.

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

Can we push back on the idea that LLM's are an accessibility tool? In any cases where they are more accessible than something else, that's got nothing to do with the LLM part of it - eg. text to speech - that tech predated LLMs. Not knowing how to google stuff isn't a disability.
