The desert ants in my backyard have minuscule brains, but far exceed human navigational capacities, in principle, not just performance. There is no Great Chain of Being with humans at the top.

If you are out making your voice heard en masse, remember that "masse" means it doesn't matter that it's you, specifically. Protect everyone by making yourself indistinguishable from your comrades, don't bring your phone, and write your emergency contact numbers on your skin. We take care of us.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?

hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.

Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

🚨IMPORTANT UPDATE🚨

MIWRC is extending their warming space to cover the entire day and overnight on Wednesday, if you were planning to bring donations and thought you missed it there's still time, if you were going to come for cleanup it has been pushed back a day!!
MIWRC has agreed to be a warming space again at 7pm Sunday. This is outside of their usual (extensive!) programming, if you can help out their donation links are at MIWRC.org, and you can specify "warming space" to get it earmarked if you want! They could also use help cleaning up at 12pm Tuesday ❤️

Thank you for the blankets!!! These will help sleeping bags be warmer, they will help insulate the walls of tents, they will pad the ground so our neighbors aren't sleeping on frozen dirt, rocks, and concrete. Stay tuned for the empty shelf "after" pic in 2 days-ish ❤️

The "trans athlete debate" is not really about sports or fairness, but about getting a legal precedent deeming trans women to be men under the law that can be extended to other areas of our lives.

fuck employers. honestly.

guys, you decided at some point that you are not going to train your own employees, you are not going to invest anything into them and you expect them to be ready and 110% from day one minute one

Some terminal Ted Talk Brain in the NYT today:
If it's true that millions of young people is not prepared for the workforce, we're probably going to need a more meaningful solution than teachers slightly changing the phrasing of their classroom instruction.
