On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

"Let's go over this one more time."
"I know what-"
"ONE MORE TIME."
"Fine."
"What is it you're looking for?"
"A garbage bag."

One of the things I most hate about how I am aging is how much harder it is to (cattle) prod an idea into solidity. They linger, unformed, and I can't focus them in.

A link to the Scrivener article, since the one going around is a screenshot, doesn't have the actual link, AND no alt-text, making it useless.

Please share this.

PSA for any Apub authors whose books are in the Anthropic settlement list: Amazon is not participating in the settlement, since they have an investment in Anthropic. When you submit your claim form, you DO NOT have to list Amazon as an add'l rightsholder, & can claim 100% of settlement money.
