The Renee Richards factoid that keeps poking my brain, is that the guy who outed her as trans, who previously outed Elizabeth Carmichael as trans, was Dick Carlson - Tucker's dad.
I guess transphobia runs in the family.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

A mentor-to-be of mine (Philip Yenawine) created A Day Without Art as part of the Visual AIDS collective in 1989. A day to honor the loss of brilliance as a result of the epidemic. 1/x
This year, Trump cancelled recognition of World AIDS Day, today, & cuts to funding worldwide have consequences.

Federal immigration enforcement officials called off a planned raid on Canal Street today shortly before it was slated to begin.
New Yorkers who heard about the raid showed up at the garage where the feds had gathered, and as federal agents tried to leave, the NYPD cleared the way for them.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

💔 Pre-emptively posting about what I’m afraid might happen (a malicious reputational smear campaign) is terrifying.
I’m worried about:
✅ fabricated storylines
✅ cherry-picked old posts
✅ AI images / videos
✅ stolen / leaked personal data
Here’s the gist:

RR goes neurobiological on Tr*mp’s sass
The media tends to regurgitate Trump’s words as if they were news.
They aren’t news. They’re postures. His words and thoughts add nothing to our understanding of anything. Yet the media reproduces them as if they did.
Memo to the media: Give us the news.

Trump hosted a "the Great Gatsby" themed Halloween party at Mar-A-Lago, with the actual tagline "A little party never killed anyone," while Congress remains shut down and SNAP funding remains uncertain.
It's like they're re-creating the Balfour drawing.

Dr Aftab is always a careful thinker and cogent writer and this essay exemplifies both virtues, not least for its critical discussion of the increasing phenomenon of 'diagnosis as identity'.
I wrote about the DSM for @asteriskmag.bsky.social ... its historical evolution, scientific disputes, and cultural debates. I’ve tried instead to capture the texture of the rich discussions and the vast commentary that exist around the manual. Enjoy! asteriskmag.substack.com/p/you-arent-...
You Aren't in the DSM
Five editions on, the DSM shoulders more responsibilities than it was ever intended for. How did we get here?

If you would like to donate to those who will be losing SNAP benefits, this thoughtful thread informs of what we should be donating. Women’s products, buying cans of food with pull up tops bc they don’t own can openers, cleaning products, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc.
Yesterday we talked a little bit about SNAP ending and how everyone who can, should give back to their communities. I'm going to spend a little time today talking about what to give.
