It can feel so fucking grim to be trans right now, and last week really showed that there IS a way through this. We are resilient, and there are way more of us than there are of them.
For my Xtra column this month, I wrote about what it's been like living as a trans person in Trump's first year and the outlook moving forward. xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

The past year has been horrifying for trans people in the U.S. The past week gave me hope for the future

It’s wildly disingenuous for @aaron.bsky.team to reply to queries about Sarah Kendzior’s suspension about how they don’t comment publicly on individual users when he knows that we all know that they haven’t even told her privately what the basis for the suspension is

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

Brianna Ghey was not murdered for being Esther Ghey's daughter, and Esther locating the problem of her daughter being murdered by radicalised cis kids in her daughter being trans is a result of her class loyalty. She simply wants to prevent kids from being trans. She gets no more grace from me.

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips.
If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

The end of the shutdown won't mean an end to the food insecurity crisis. Shredding the social safety net is a Republican priority.
Americans on SNAP could still have a hard time under Trump once the government reopens - The Boston Globe
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act made several changes to SNAP that will likely limit who can access the government’s premier anti-hunger initiative.

They literally laughed about not picking up phones to stop a genocide and y’all thought they would stop your own?
Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

I want to do one of those inversion tables after being in a sauna. Then go in a cold plunge and get into some sort of compression suit. I think that will reset my nervous system and get my joints back in alignment

This is still a great time to get involved with your local community fridge, Food Not Bombs chapter, or other mutual aid group.
Just a reminder that even if/when SNAP benefits start flowing again, the crisis for food banks will not be over. They'll still have low inventory and many SNAP recipients will also be stocking up on items. And then you add on the typical holiday rush. The need will continue to be great.
