To any trans people looking you get a passport, please do it now. I am a passport agent and over the past 4 years theyve made it much easier for you to get a passport but I fully anticipate these requirements to get reversed. As of this moment you simply have to check your perferred gender marker.

The lessons of this time will depend on who writes the textbooks.

Presenting "africans were active in the slave trade" as some kind of harsh truth is such fucking garbage. No one on the left denies that this in true, we deny that it's relevant!
amazingly fucked up that the NYT is uncritically publishing the claim, “Race has some biological reality.”
that is, definitionally, racism. textbook.

I can't fully articulate how worried I am for trans people of all ages. It feels like the world doesn't care.
Politico is reporting Trump will name Dr. Ladapo of Florida to a senior spot, likely Surgeon General or Assistant HHS.
This would be a horrifying pick for trans people. He's responsible for Florida's adult trans ban, and works with SEGM/Anti-trans global movement.
He's also an ardent anti-vaxxer.

Just be prepared. We've all seen that headline going around today that Bluesky is the current #1 app, and X dropped out of the top 25.
That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.

Libraries are SO much more than books. Our patrons know this but your average person might not.
Internet. Study rooms. Notaries. Passports. Community. Shelter. Food pantries. Hotspot. Instruments. Because every library is unique, the list is never ending.

This narrative that the Democrats ignored the working class is really aggravating. Be specific. You’re talking about the white working class because the Black working class understood the stakes of this election just fine.

"If Trump was good, he'd be a good president" is one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever read. If I was good at basketball I'd be a great basketball player Conor, does the world need 600 words on this?

Midjourney just put out a survey. Sure would be a shame if artists told them what they really felt.

Tip for new BlueSky users: the "nuclear" block.
Blocking a user here is far more effective than it ever was on Twitter. It rips out all connection to replies, quotes, everything. They are erased from your life.
It's beautiful and I recommend using it generously.

Throwing trans people under the bus is morally wrong and it would not do a goddamn thing to help Democrats, it would just demoralize the base even more.
Precisely zero anti-trans bigots are ever going to vote Dem. None. Not a single one.

I am seeing more and more opinions bubbling up about how throwing trans people to the wolves would be a winning strategy for Democrats, and I just want to quickly say: Fuck off with that absolute dog shit.

People always point out that taxing the super-wealthy wouldn't actually raise all that much revenue, but it's becoming clearer that the primary benefit is just taking away their money.
