⭐⭐ Relentlessly provocative and original, Bettcher's recent treatise is an instant field-defining classic. This book is dense, challenging, and presages years of theory to come.
My aim with this review was to provide a broad summary for lay folks to give a general sense of why this book matters.

Sex testing is officially back in sports -- which is a huge bummer and also contradicts so much ethics, human rights law, and actual science. More on all that (and the history) on my podcast Tested: www.tested-podcast.com

So I've got this cool website about trans literature...
I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but...
the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

The next big step I think all of us have to start considering... is a shift back to forums as a community hub
there's a few right now that are going that I'm a part of, but they aren't really the art/design community I wish I had. With the resurgence of geocities web 1.0 type stuff, maybe??

I've been warning orgs that work on stigmatized areas of healthcare to move their tech stack to European companies.
This is going to create an exodus of international orgs and governments moving away from American tech companies.

After Patron blocked my latest review, I tried to write about censorship. Then I tried to write about aesthetics and the sexual politics of fiction.
What I ended up capturing was the violent silence of the moment - the grief and helpless fury of living in a world that marches on toward genocide ⬇️

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Brutal but necessary reading. Our literary community has been shouting from the rooftops about this for months - it's not too late to take up our calls to action.
My latest piece. Couldn't bring myself to write much today, but I wanted to get a few words out nonetheless.
TL;DR: the second best time to act against fascism is now.

1933 and 2025 will both be remembered as years of devastation for trans people worldwide — both of which were led by the onset of fascism.

some context: Jesse is currently writing a book on gender-affirming care & trans youth – his standard "both sides" "just asking questions" Atlantic/NYT approach. that doesn't play so well if GAC has been banned & trans ppl stripped of rights already. so Jesse is desperately playing down Trümp's EOs
How is the rest of this paragraph not just an extremely long way of saying 'strips rights from trans people.'
