There is a man in an extremely sharp tailed suit on my train this morning.
He looks so out of place riding the lightrail. Actually looks out of place in the Bay Area in general.
Maybe he’s visiting from someplace where they were suits and republic transit?

Do you think the faked death in the Enterprise Incident was directly inspired by McCoy’s use of the same trick in Amok Time?🤔
And whose idea was it?

Wow! That… sure is a choice, there.
Teen Vogue had become rather famous and beloved for its clear eyed, fearless journalism directed to teenage girls.
Apparently they’ve decided to set all that brand cred on fire.
RIP Teen Vogue, I guess🪦

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

There is a blood drive at work today.
My sense of social responsibility says I should go donate.
My sense of “The last time I had a blood test, I ended up in the ER with a black eye because I fainted, fell out of the phlebotomist’s chair, and face planted into the floor” says I should not do that🤔

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

Hey everybody, come listen to my husband geeking out about ASL and sign languages in general on A Language I Love Is😃
Released a new ALILI episode yesterday, about the show's first sign language!
ASL is the beloved language of Aidan Elliott-McCrea (the linguist behind @wordfamilyfriday.bsky.social), and he gave me both a great intro to ASL and heartfelt social messages too. Listen here:

Are we going to let them get away with this?
No. No we are not.
So far, Netflix has not made any move to pull these shows. That means that, for now, our action should be focused on demonstrating to Netflix the value of these shows and counteracting the effects of the boycott.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.
If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.
