Ken the NYT is one of those institutions working to erase trans people. Gwen's "bad take" was just her expressing disappointment at behavior like yours. & instead of listening and apologizing you dismissed & doubled down, and now Gwen is getting harassed. If you want to EARN ally title, DO BETTER
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 3d agoAnyone who knows me even a little, or has even followed me long on social media, already knows this about me. Our institutions are literally trying to erase trans people right now, and it pisses me off. A snarky reply to one bad take on Bluesky doesn’t mean that’s changed at all. ⬇️
@kenjennings.bsky.social please help make this right. gwen has been suffering through mass harassment. </3 You've blocked Sage and others for kindly requesting accountability for your role in harm done to a trans person. Really fucking up an opportunity to practice allyship here

When we don't adequately fund public universities, and instead force students to take out loans, what we as a society are really doing is borrowing money from the younger generation—their hard-earned future income—to fund a necessary project that benefits us all: building an educated society.

"if AI disappeared tomorrow ... Imagine AI was suddenly banned" don't threaten me with a good time. So far AI has just been getting in the way. No I don't need you to summarize this document, it's just my session notes!
Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · yesterdayGuys like this don’t realize that they are the freak
How would I get by without AI? If I need a factually-dubious opinion expressed in a cliched manner with unearned confidence, I’ll just talk to a straight white cis man. I can get by on small-batch, locally-sourced, artisanal mansplaining, the way we always used to.
honestly can't stress enough, as a former family law attorney, how depressingly common Max Miller's behavior and words are, right down to the petty fixation on custody procedure and rules when faced with allegations of shocking violence.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · yesterdayRep. Max Miller: "When I was reported for child abuse of my daughter for a broken collarbone, my daughter was in my ex-wife's care 9 out of the last 11 days and she took her to the emergency room, which is a contempt violation from our shared parenting plan."
