There’s something to the fact that if you were already boycotting Tim Horton’s & NYT in solidarity with Palestine then you’d be already be set for solidarity with trans folks impacted by those outlets. Palestine is a crisis and a moral litmus test for how you care for and about oppressed people.

I was today years old when I learned that Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand attends a bible study group that teaches that Jewish people killed Jesus, which has been used to justify antisemitism and associated violence against us Jews.

I can't stress this enough. This was their POLICY and PLAN. I've been saying it for months. I know that you all know this. I hope that the people who are losing their benefits understand too. Brooke Rollins et al have been saying that this is their desire and intention for months.

SSRI babes, reminder to be careful with the heat! I know mine make it hard to handle the heat (in addition to chronic conditions, etc.), so I'm making an effort to drink lots of water and make sure I take breaks in the shade or AC when needed. The library is always a free, cool place to decompress❤️
I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."
