1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

If you still have Facebook and instagram maybe consider staying off of those so they don’t get the ad revenue.

In a world where a company will repackage a product to shave a quarter of an ounce off an 8 ounce bag of chips to save a fraction of a cent on the production cost, you better believe that they notice a few percentage points drop in sales from a boycott with even modest participation.

Congrats, everyone—the Elon boycott is working! Reports indicate that Tesla inventory is swelling, especially with Cybertrucks piling up outside their factory. Keep the boycott going, and don’t forget—today is the Economic Blackout!

the media often says "in a blow to environmentalists" as if we're the only ones who live on this planet?

everyone hates the protest in front of them—too loud, too disruptive, too much. but they love the clean air it fought for, the weekends it secured, the rights it carved into law. comfort is built on the courage of those who refused to stay silent

today’s disruption is tomorrow’s justice

Microsoft's own research confirms something that was already pretty obvious: relying on a text generating machine to come up with answers erodes critical thinking, and is a method favoured by those who never liked doing critical thinking in the first place

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.

Hey Canada. If you’re watching this happen in Trump’s United States, remember Canada’s right-wing PM Stephen Harper did similar things, including muzzling and misrepresenting scientists.

If you don’t want even worse things for Canada, think carefully about giving Harper’s protege Poilievre power.
