It's #OsloPride today, and it's harder to be queer now than a few years ago. That's why this new app coming from @fridamarida.bsky.social is so important: a map of queer friendly and safe businesses, clinics, areas and more. Oslo is stage 1, global is next. So support #queermap for #Pride!🏳️‍🌈

Queer Map: a safety map by and for queer people

The money goes to building Queer Map, a free app that shows queer and trans people where they're safe in Oslo, and warns about places that aren't. By queer people, for queer people. Always free.

ACADEMICS SHOULD TALK BLUNTLY ABOUT MONEY (and should not write for free)

Talk about a solution in search of a problem. (We might also talk about sexism, misogyny, scapegoating, patriarchy, othering, transphobia, etc etc, but you get my point.)

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...
