A couple of years ago, my wallet was stolen at a gas station. I had a reasonably good idea who had done it. So, I canceled my credit cards, got a new driver's license, and my bestie got me a new wallet for my birthday because she's awesome.

I didn't call the police.

Of all of the data that companies mine from me, I get weirdly stubborn about product reviews. What did I think of my last purchase? Wouldn't you like to know, Chewy, wouldn't you like to know

Idk what else even needs to be said at this point
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, remember not only the people we have lost, but why we have lost them. Remember how hostile the world is to trans and gender noncomforming people for daring to feel the joy of authenticity.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

These are the people I'm remembering today.
The People I Remember On This Trans Day Of Remembrance
Elisa Shupe, Lia Smith, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and so many more names are worth remembering today.

okay, seeing the headlines pop up in news feeds, apparently it's time for various companies to insist we believe there is an AI actress named "Tilly Norwood"

there is no AI actress, there is a computer graphics program that makes an animated character

Scooby-Doo was not an actor, either

Ah hahahahaha of course capitalism sank the Edmund Fitzgerald, I hope all 29 of those dudes haunt whoever profited from their demise
SS Edmund Fitzgerald had a structural defect in its keel. Sailors on that ship had complained about the ship bending and flexing during storms, especially when it was overloaded, which it usually was. They had also found old keel weld breaks due to structural fatigue, which were never repaired

7. In the biggest news, New York City elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor—a rebuke to his opponents’ anti-trans rhetoric and a victory built on an unapologetically pro-trans platform. Just weeks ago, Mamdani released a two-minute pro-trans ad set to transgender artist SOPHIE’s “It’s OK to Cry."
As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support
The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

My god this is for real one of the most incredible speeches I’ve ever seen by an elected US politician: ‘And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is to dismantle the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This not only how we stop Trump, it’s how we stop the next one.’
Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

Good thing I'm too socially anxious to talk to my neighbors much, because I'm pretty sure most of them hate me for doing natural hippie granola lawn care and not raking my leaves, which then blow onto their lawns

I keep trying to find examples of old 1930s/40s German propaganda about Jewish people to use as a side by side comparison to this. I alas cannot read German, but this is absolutely a page from that playbook.
1. As SNAP benefits expire, 42,000,000 hungry people may turn to the USDA website.

Now, the website blames their hunger on transgender people and immigrants.

It's a cynical ploy, an an indication that anti-trans measures are a Trump priority for the shutdown.

1. This week, news emerged that former trans athlete, student at Middlebury, and advocate for trans rights, Lia Smith, was found dead.

Her death was ruled a suicide.

But I argue that it's not only a suicide. Every trans suicide is a murder by those in power.

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun.

Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found.

WSJ owes a full retraction and apology.

Super glad the Kirk shooter seems to be a cishet white guy, but man I'm skeptical that some 22-year-old made that precision long-distance shot
