Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

A great service, it was taken over by an Italian tech corp last year & turned into shit. 75% of staff laid off, price for the pro version doubled, and the free version now includes THIS happy clause.

HR is going all-in on AI tools that hoover up employee data. The result is a workplace surveillance system that is everywhere, all the time—a panopticon in your cubicle, at your WFH desk.

Job candidates are now routinely filtered and sorted by algorithms. But a total panopticon awaits workers once they’ve been hired.

Thankful for groups like New Haven Sketchers. I had a
Lovely time despite spending much of my drawing time muttering “too many shapes.” There were about 30 people who came to sketch together, which made my heart really happy.

It's publication day for this story I illustrated for @nj.com , reported by Adam Clark. It's heavy, but sheds light on the may ways the support aspect of supportive housing is insufficient. www.nj.com/passaic-coun...
Who killed Frankie? A N.J. man was strangled to death. But who’s really to blame?
Two strangers are assigned to live together. One ends up dead. The other locked away.
