I have watched good pastors *struggle* to get through the ordination process because they speak with an accent. Hand to God. Meanwhile, raging narcissists are sailing through ordination or licensure and are doing active harm to vulnerable people in congregations.

Bitch, Asheville is a blue college town and the county has gone blue for decades. I am so sick of this “if I pretend disasters only happen to red areas, it means I’m safe because I’m properly on the left!” No. You’re not safe. That’s why we save everybody.

I get a ferocious desire to manage my diabetes when I think about giving a friend a kidney but can’t muster up an ounce of caring about it when my toes are numb. WHY

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Seconding this. I went to UNC for physics and all the classes that I wouldn’t have taken on my own made me a better thinker and communicator.
This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

When did we decide that we’re just not going to wear headphones in public anymore?
(I’m in an urgent care waiting room with a wait time of two hours, so I don’t really begrudge people their entertainment. I just thought we had a social contract about this.)

![We mourn the passing of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fearless Black transgender elder whose life embodied the struggle for liberation, dignity, and justice. From the Stonewall uprising to her decades of advocacy for incarcerated trans women and communities of color, Miss Major taught generations to resist oppression and love each other fiercely in the face of state violence. Her legacy is one of radical care and defiant joy, a reminder that true freedom means leaving no one behind. May her spirit continue to guide us as we fight for the world she envisioned.
Rest in power, Miss Major. Your legacy and work will live on.

The way the phrase "ancestral homelands" sends me into an inescapable rage, because it's so close and so far from getting it. WHY AREN'T THE PEOPLE STILL IN THEIR HOMELANDS, FRIENDS? WHY AREN'T THEY THERE??

Every major publication in this country needs to have dedicated staffers or correspondents reporting on gaming, streamers, podcasts, and TikTok. Not as a once in a while thing. As standard beats. These are massive segments of American culture. No excuses for it anymore.
basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain
Watching the cable news commentary on the bullet engravings is wild because none of these people seem to realize that the content of the engravings are indicative of extremely online meme brain rot
