For real, if you know trans people inside the USA, and you have capacity to help, especially if you are local-ish to them, reach out to them and get contact details for them in an end-to-end encrypted chat system (specifically Signal, Apple Messages, or WhatsApp), then talk to them.

Is anyone actually surprised that the new USA regime is chock full of Nazis?
And seriously, Musk’s Hitler Wannabe salutes posturing is a pop gun distraction - there are much more nasty things going on inside the USA than whatever bullshit chaff Musk (and Trump) are peddling as “news”.

FYI, Trump’s “slip” about “having a shared cultural and political heritage” with Italy? This is not ignorance or stupidity. It is literally coded Nazi talk.
Italian Roman Empire
1st Reich = Holy Roman Empire.
2nd Reich = German Empire.
3rd Reich = Nazi Germany.
4th Reich = USA.

No Cops (in uniform) at Pride. Not until there are absolutely no more queer bashings by cops. Just this year a cop “allegedly” murdered two queer men in Sydney. That uniform makes too much of the community feel unsafe *for good reasons*.

Police will march in the 2025 Mardi Gras, but supporters of a ban say it's a "big step forward"
A motion to prohibit police officers from marching in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade has been voted down, but advocates for a ban say it's only a matter of time until they win.

“There is no evidence that time spent on social media is correlated with adolescent mental health problems”
In other words - social media isn’t the problem, and Australia’s “under 16yo” social media ban is complete policy rubbish.

Korea Expert here. I’ll explain what’s going on over there because the Orient can be confusing to Westerners. In Korea, there is a concept known as “the law.” (법) This is a set of rules which are enforced to encourage prosocial behavior and ensure stability which leaders aren’t allowed to break.

… as someone who’s been deep in online coding spaces since 1991, and who was on the periphery observing the *first* C++ standardisation process back in 1997-1999, Izzy has a *lot* of truth bombs here, both in detail and about the industry in general. It’s a long read, but worth it.
