For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...
Politicizing Transgender Athletes Is Dangerous. Lia Smith Deserved Better.

Exclusive: Anthropic spent $2.66 billion on Amazon Web Services in the first three quarters of 2025, around 100% of their estimated revenue. Its costs appear to increase with their revenue, showing little path to profitability.

I'm just thinking about how Mamdani talks (and defends) trans people for two minutes more than the democrats did at the last convention. And the video is only two minutes and five seconds long.
I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

Kia ora, Talofa, Hello everyone!

I saw a few other people recently that were new to Blue Sky that had posted introduction posts, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon. So this is me.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Cis people:

This is where you fucking step up. Do everything you can to support trans people in the coming days. You're going to hear horrible, hurtful rhetoric about us. Shut it down. Don't let it stand.

And buy the trans people in your life a drink.

Today's information environment is spectacle. It's about attention. The way to win in that environment is to genuinely believe what you believe, to believe in yourself, to *actively try to draw attention*, to showboat & peacock & find gimmicks & excuses to highlight the fights you want.

Appreciate the pātai. Te Pāti Māori won’t let Aotearoa import UK/US-style hate.

We reject attacks on trans, non-binary and takatāpui whānau. That’s not who we are.

Our Te Tiriti commitment means protecting mana, inclusion, and whānau safety.

Whakapapa over wedges. Manaakitanga over fear. Always.

Live.

You are a good person.

Don’t give up.

Just by having someone to cheer you on like that

You can breathe again."
