Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.
BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

It’s funny because a) the metaverse was always a bad idea and is non-billionaires always knew this despite being less evolved than our monied overlords and b) they’re not pivoting because they know better but because AI is hemorrhaging cash and they have no other plan.
Meta Platforms is planning cuts to the metaverse—an arena Mark Zuckerberg once called the future of the company—and will shift spending to AI wearables.
Meta Plans to Shift Spending Away From the Metaverse
Zuckerberg’s bet on immersive online worlds has lost the company more than $77 billion since 2020.

Love this. Read this.

Also, I once got a staph infection in Barton Springs because I swam in there with a fresh tattoo (documenting having kayaked in Barton Springs.) This was stupid on my part.
Featured story: After a hate incident, about 100 trans and gender nonbinary people flooded the spillway of Austin's most popular swimming spot to celebrate queer joy and show that they won't back down.
At Barton Springs, Trans Existence Becomes Resistance
Following a transphobic incident earlier this year, community members gathered to "protect trans joy."

Now release Amelia Earhart's MRI Report.
There is no such thing as a ‘preventive MRI.’ This is not a thing.

When something that doesn’t exist gets done anyway, it’s reasonable to ask: what was the real reason? 🤔
