Hundreds of physicists piled into a room at 8 a.m. to hear more about Microsoft's claims to have made the first topological qubits, but the talk was light on conclusive evidence, and may have raised more questions than it answered. My reporting:

This is the biggest danger of Trump's EOs.

They are not law, and yet Denver Health is complying in advance, ending all trans surgeries under 19 years of age, including chest masculinization - a rare, but much needed surgery for some trans teens.

Major news breaking from NOTUS on Trump’s trans passport ban:

It will not be retroactive.

Very glad I and others encouraged people to get their passports in the lead up to Trump’s inauguration.

Now hopefully this EO is defeated in court.

Trump’s Gender Order Won't Affect Existing Passports — Unless They’re Renewed
“They can still apply to renew their passport — they just have to use their God-given sex, which was decided at birth,” the White House press secretary told NOTUS.

Did you know that the same patterns that help you sleep also help sunflowers pollinate? A sunflower head is made up of hundreds of smaller flowers called florets, with newer florets towards the middle of the flower and older florets towards the outside edges.

"Earning" your right to dignity through Christlike suffering has always produced at best marginal gains. Jules Gill-Peterson really nails how even that is too much to ask for trans people. sadbrowngirl.substack.com/p/the-logic-...
