My critical analysis of the anti-trans astroturf group, the LGB Alliance, has just been published in the special edition of the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. I recommend the whole special edition - it's open access, no pay wall.

And then this coming week
This was today. My heart is so full and im SO exhausted. Back to Van tomorrow, but, as always, leaving a piece of my heart here in NC.
Visiting my alma mater to give a talk on my book project (which is VERY MUCH in progress mind you).
It’s really a dream come true and feels like a homecoming. WGSS at UNCG shaped me in such profound ways and without my training there I would not be the scholar I am today. Simply thrilled!

Hey all, here's a post at @ssrc.org about how anti-trans talking points are getting wrapped into Google's AI search results.
AI search not only cites anti-trans disinfo, but sanitizes it, making practices like conversion therapy sound legitimate and safe.

Anti-Transgender Disinformation in the Age of Algorithmic Search Summaries
Recently Google introduced a feature in its search engine that algorithmically creates summaries of one's search results. Though it could be viewed as a useful tool, researcher Anna Beers argues this ...

Pritzker seems to be the only one warning about this regularly
Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

Is it really such an untenable idea that social media could or even SHOULD be public goods?! Like is it just gonna always remain the case that to be on the internet is to subject oneself to ever more horrors under the guise of “terms of service,” “moderation,” and “compliance.”

You simply MUST be joking. You built something that only had the appeal of not being Twitter and has a learning curve for new users. Now you adopt TOS changes only in response to a fascist’s death and retroactively apply them piecemeal?
Now tell the joke thats actually funny

Violence is always unacceptable, and threats of violence have no place in public discourse. Our thoughts are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

The thought occurs to me that anti trans activists are so hellbent on the idea that we have been “transed” or that we are transing youth because they themselves feel recognize on some level their genders were foisted upon them so they assume a trans gender must be as well 🤔

Terrifying how often someone in our very busy alley seems not to be breathing and we check on them. More terrifying is how nobody else in our or any other building ever checks.
