I was playing June's Journey up until a few months ago and had no idea Playtika owned it since it's listed as Wooga, which does things like planting trees based on users' in-game play. This is unsettling, and I'm glad I'm not caught in others.

Largest Trans Survey Ever: Top Reason Trans People Stop Transitioning Is Transphobia
“In almost every single case, the reason was anti-trans discrimination in the form of pressure to ‘detransition’ from one’s family, friends, or community.”

When the Cass Review came out last year, the NYT rushed to cover it complete with post notifications. After reviews in Germany and Utah came out supporting gender affirming care for trans youth, dead silence. You can be just as biased in what you don't cover as what you do.

Update: this session’s school library book ban bill- SB 13 - has been added to the calendar for Monday. 😩
Keep calling your reps to urge them to run out the clock on this horrible bill.
If this passes, we will not be able to undo the harm done to TX public school libraries.
