If you care a lot about your year end music playlists, this month is a great time to delete Spotify so you can start fresh for next year 😉

fully twelve cop cars arrayed along the curb and then gently curving out to block all westbound lanes including the shared turn lane, zero cops directing westbound traffic safely around or through oncoming lanes.
literally what is the fucking point of cops in this scenario

things that were totally normal when i came out in '04 but that seem alien now, in no particular order:
- "we assume that trans men are as common as trans women but we can't find them"
- "just tell the doctor you want to be a straight homemaker for three months" (luckily on its way out)
- "we assume that trans men are as common as trans women but we can't find them"
- "just tell the doctor you want to be a straight homemaker for three months" (luckily on its way out)

This is a really well-done corrective to the NYT/Atlantic party line on how attitudes about trans people affect Democrats' electoral prospects. Liberal Currents continues to shine.

Trans Panic? More Like Trans Apathetic
2025 shows trans rights aren't electoral poison. The truth? Most people just don't care that much.

word of advice to anyone reading: tokyo godfathers is never not free on whatever streaming service offers free titles. at this point it is easier to watch this on your own time than some of the canonized all-timers like charlie brown or grinch. heavily recommend making time for it
Reminder to add TOKYO GODFATHERS to your Christmas movie watchlist this season! Grateful to have given (English, dubbed) voice to the trans anime icon, our beloved Hana, in this Satoshi Kon holiday classic from @gkids.com! Watch it for free on Tubi or rent it on AppleTV!

I'm not one for consumerism and I don't participate in Black Friday deals, but I will say that the fact that a colleague of mine chose to run with a design I customized and make it available on shirts for others does bring a smile to my face today. 😁👍🏳️⚧️

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"
since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.
The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.
I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.
