The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

All my homies hate Harry Potter. ESPECIALLY the ones who used to REALLY LIKE Harry Potter. Fuck that bigoted toad-woman who supported the nazi-esque party against her own self-interest.

The one FROM the books. For legal reasons. Yeah. All my homies hate THAT weird toad lady.

"no one wants a government handout"

It's OUR MONEY. Our. Money.

Every purchase, every paycheck, every year's filing, we pay into taxes. That is alllll a government money is. Our money, pooled in hopes it can be used to better everyone's lives, not to provide a "government handout" to the rich.

One exchange in the books has stuck with me deeply:

"Sin, young man, is when you treat people like things. Including yourself. That's what sin is."

"It's a lot more complicated than that-"

this is really cool

I obviously adore so many of the Discworld novels but to me Night Watch is Terry at the absolute peak of his powers and the best book in the entire series

a fantastic choice
