All of this being treated as a matter for legit discussion even by "responsible" journalists is making me insane. LA is huge and has a meticulous process to ensure integrity -- fast results wouldn't materially change the outcome so who cares???

I analyzed over 10 years of anti-trans legislation. Over 330 bills have passed, with ~300 of them in just the last 5 years. There is no precedent in American history for so many bills to target one particular minority group like this in such a short timeframe. www.thedissident.news/the-ratchet/

In 2015, state legislatures across the United States considered 75 anti-LGBTQ bills, of which 27 targeted gender identity.1 In 2025, that total reached 1,059—with 851 of the current-session bills targ...

Sure, but I have to trick myself into not worrying about making stuff good during the process. It's the only way I can shut down the internal doubter/critic long enough to make progress on any writing. I have to trust that I'll be able to make it good through editing 😁

Good point. It's probably worth thinking about what we've gained (or lost) with that increase in detail. Has it been worth it?

Alright bsky science + art community, I need your help. I was p confident we could get a grant to fund our upcoming biodiversity mural in Kensington. Last night, they called to say our partner school is 2 blocks outside of their service area. But ya know what? We're gonna do it anyway.

a slide with 3 pictures of schools with brightly colored murals stacked on top of one another under the words "Schools in service area". On the other side of the slide, a blank wall of a school under the label "Our partner"
