It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Hey, Crew. I've seen a lot of folks expressing feelings of embarrassment at their own reactions to the auction. "I thought I was over this" or "I shouldn't be so sad". But I'm here to say that NO ONE should be sorry to feel deeply about something. And yeah, it's about a show, but not /entirely/. 🧵

"You have died of dysentery"
Untreated water enthusiasts swear by natural springs, or “raw water.” Many of them are part of the so-called health freedom movement, which opposes vaccine mandates, pasteurized milk and other government public health interventions.
‘Raw Water’ Devotees Swear by Natural Springs, Despite the Risks
Untreated water enthusiasts swear by natural springs. Their movement has parallels with raw milk drinkers and vaccine skeptics.

Take no shit in 2025. Make hatred LOOK ignorant. Show it its cruelty. Be intolerant of bigotry. Don't abet a worsening.
Lose friends who insist only some people deserve dignity. Understand who has your back and who's only there because it's convenient.

the democrats had the votes to block this. biden had the power to veto it. democrats would have had the power to uphold the veto. democrats chose not to do any of this and as a result, a democratic senate and a democratic president passed and signed the first anti-lgbtq federal law in decades.

Please rideshare, cab, or call a sober friend/family member. Everyone make it home.
NYE in the ER always hurts my heart because we run traumas on people in the nicest clothes, whose evenings started with such excitement and promise. No one plans to be with us, but you can plan to avoid us:
*public transit
*ride share
*designated sober driver
*talk to your teens about their plans

I’d recommend everyone regardless of medical risk bring a mask on your airplane journey, a disinfectant wipe to clean the seat you’re in and hand sanitizer.
It’s going to be on you alone to protect your health.

One more reminder that webglaze serves all its users on the equivalent power of 50% of a single outdated data center GPU. Or you can run glaze on a modern laptop and glaze an image in about 2 mins. Unlike AI companies busy training the latest models, you won’t disrupt any power grids. I promise.
New evidence shows AI's thirst for power may be distorting the flow of power to US consumers (gift link):
