1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

These are the people I'm remembering today.
The People I Remember On This Trans Day Of Remembrance
Elisa Shupe, Lia Smith, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and so many more names are worth remembering today.

How does anyone manage to get to work in the mornings?

According to the USDA, each $1 spent in SNAP generates as much as $1.54 in economic activity, including increased GDP.

The shutdown is not why SNAP is being withheld.

It has never been withheld in a shutdown.

The well is not dry.

You are being lied to.

I'm pro-union because I think workers should organize to balance the power that business owners have in various negotiations. It's true that unions have been weakened, but it's not because of multiculturalism. I would argue, it's because people seek to exploit divisions for their material interests.

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.

I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.

Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

When you ban books before you ban guns, you've admitted you're more afraid of children learning than you are of them dying.

🚨 Israël est en train d'attaquer la grande flottille humanitaire pour Gaza, en dehors de son territoire et au mépris du droit international.

Les équipages, dont sont membres 50 Français et 6 députés insoumis, ont besoin de votre mobilisation.

Le blocus doit prendre fin.

How a cover can change the vibe dramatically.
Interpretation of the vibes is mine, not knowing anything about the story or author.
Cover of "Someone You Can Build a Nest In" by John Wiswell. The cover is mostly shades of yellow and green, with white text. The title has loops on the capital letters which reminds me of old-timey handwritten text. On the foreground is a forest path with vegetation and mushrooms. In the center are two humanoid characters, one of whom is pointing in the distance to a town in the background. The town has a tall building that could be a church and smaller houses around. They're all brick-coloreds with blue-grey roofs. Fog separates the characters and the town. One character seems to have a tail or tentacle poking out. The general vibe is cozy, of a fantasy story that could be epic fantasy or cozy fantasy, meant for adults or young adults. It's beautiful but reveals very little about the tone of the story or its target audience, although the title implies a positive ending. Cover of "Someone You Can Build a Nest In" by John Wiswell. The cover is red and black with a white title with a scratched out effect. The authors name is in yellow at the bottom. A figure takes most of the cover, behind the title. It's a black shadow, with long floating hair, a witch's hat and tentacles. The triangular shape evokes a cape and distortion from it being a shadow. A huge, toothy grin and eyes shine in yellow from the shadowy figure, making it look insane. I front of that creature stands what looks like a young girl with a lantern, the witch looming behind and over her and dwarfing her. The girl is red and yellow, lit by the lantern, with red tentacles sprouting behind and around her, looking like flames. All around the witch, black cartoony images show books, spiders, hearts and animal skulls. In the foreground in red is a bear trap, a human skull and crossbones, and floating little hearts. The moon is yellow at the top of the page behind the witch hat and there are yellow stars around. The entire thing is seen from below which adds to the creepy, unsettling feeling. The general vibe is scary/horror, possibly meant for a younger audience, with some comedy expressed by the floating hearts and the feel-good title contrasting with the rest of the image. This cover has a lot of personality and would probably attract very different readers compared to the other one.

Well. I am cancelling my GymGroup membership because they are happily abiding by the flawed EHRC interim guidance and instituting transphobic policies. Please share this so that other queer members have this info and can make informed choices.

Rappel des gestes simples pour se protéger des vagues de chaleur :
➡️s'hydrater régulièrement
➡️rester à l'ombre
➡️Démanteler l'industrie des énergies fossiles qui entasse les profits en organisant le chaos climatique.

Simple, basique.
Force et courage à toutes et tous.

“World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.”

Sex testing is not only invasive, it’s also inaccurate.
World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990
World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.
