I think it's actually kind of critical to develop the ability to, and comfort with, just fucking saying when you don't know something, or don't know enough to have formed a strong opinion. Especially given our disinformation situation. Plus it invites people who DO know their shit to the convo

So, this thread--particularly @lizthegrey.com's useful explanation of how the relevant databases actually work--is worth reading in response to the Erin in the Morning story that's terrifying our community today.
But I'll add a few broad points about Where We Are and scaremongering.

I'm sharing this bit for folks in my specific situation (F on my passport which is correct, got it changed during the Biden admin):
"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
"For those who updated their passports before this administration, any attempt to revoke those documents would be far more complicated. [...]" (1/2)
The intent, for anyone paying attention, is clearly to revoke trans peoples’ passports and then refuse to issue new ones, keeping us captive and on a state extermination list.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I'm still sad the lawyer wouldn't let me embed xkcd.com/2867/ in my declaration even though it was the right call because the judge was not the type who'd appreciate it. It was relevant to my argument, even!

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

looks like bsky's "logged out visibility" feature has changed sometime in the past few months. or maybe it's always been this way in the browser
it used to warn you when you clicked the share button on a post from someone who didn't want their account visible. I can't tell if it does that anymore
