Hello people, good morning 🌞 Here is an update about myself. I’m a Canadian science fiction writer and professor, also queer and social justice advocate, and I enjoy observing the world with the critical distance provided by a science fiction perspective. 1/2

It's almost like trans people told you all along!!!
For @msnbc.com I wrote about how Tuesday's election gives Democrats the blueprint for overcoming Republican anti-trans attacks and how thus should settle all the talk about throwing trans people under the bus.

Opinion | Democrats’ election wins showed they don't need to hide their support for trans rights
Republicans repeated Trump's anti-trans strategy from 2024 and lost big. This should be instructive for Democrats.

Suspension de Shein en France : le gouvernement se lance dans un combat inédit
L’exécutif a engagé une procédure dans le but de bloquer en France le site du géant de l’e-commerce, à la suite du scandale de la vente des poupées pédopornographiques. L’initiative satisfait le secteur tricolore de l’habillement, dont Shein est la bête noire, mais elle n’est pas sans risque juridique.

The stunning increase in wealth amounts to a gain of roughly $1 billion per day for those billionaires.
By contrast, the typical American worker made just over $50,000 in 2023. Oxfam found that it would take a staggering 726,000 years for 10 US workers at median earnings to make that much money. 🤷🏻♀️
