I wrote about where the US's current wave of transphobia comes from, and how both Mamdani and Spanberger have shown useful ways for politicians to reject it and still win.
Stop trans scapegoating
The only more powerful narrative tool than a villain is a hero.

Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

I am JUST old enough to have caught a taste of the Before Times as a young adult, and yeah, I have pretty much universally found that under-30 LGBTs *literally do not believe you* when you tell them how significant the turnaround has been, and HOLY HELL does it leave me frustrated at times.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

An interesting thing I've noticed since masking stopped being common: When I see another masked person, even a stranger, we often exchange eye contact and a nod. Like, oh that's nice, there's one other person in this room who definitely isn't judging me and was probably also feeling awkwardly alone.
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

Weather is surprisingly nice for a fall day, so I'm sitting on the porch with the cats after wrapping my dayjob shift.

we’re currently not living in the way that humans have lived for the majority of our existence. our societal structure disrupts our basic needs for community and support. it’s not your fault, or your weakness💗
