I'm bad at self-promo but I am currently on the job market looking for industry gigs. If your team needs a compiler engineer, language developer, rust programmer, or language tools person, drop me a line! All my details are on my personal site.

i am going to die in a world that is more antisemitic than the one i was born into and it will be entirely thanks to what the israeli state has done in the name of fighting antisemitism. i think about this constantly.

It's not just Sounds Profitable. Numerous networks/events continue to partner with TDW (like Podcast Movement). The podcast industry truly does not care for queer people (and ESPECIALLY does not care for trans people). This isn't an instance of one company making a bad decision, It's endemic.

It's not hard to know what TDW stands for. Look at Walsh. Look at Shapiro. Look at Peterson. Browse their socials for one minute. Tune into any of their talk shows. I know Bryan and Sounds Profitable are aware. They're smart. They just don't care. Once again, money matters more than queer folks.

British people are not any more transphobic than anyone else, "TERF Island" is just a statistical error. Transphobia Jo who lives in a cave and does 10,000 transphobias a day is an outlier and should not have been counted

You simply should not buy the wizard game. You should give that money to trans people instead

The upcoming Hogwarts Legacy 2 could potentially feature more characters from the Harry Potter books and movies.

Once again I am struck by how similar the language of Zionism is to the language of transphobia. If you can't be human enough to care about Palestinian lives, at least recognize that manufacturing consent for their deaths means manufacturing consent for yours as well.

I miss doing voice acting 😭

In Gaza, World Central Kitchen @wck.org is among the last organizations still able to cook meals. The IDF has shut all crossings to shipments, including humanitarian relief. We are now nearing the end of our supplies—and the limits of what’s possible. mailchi.mp/wck/4-23-25-...

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Hey you know how we've been saying for the past decade that it's really bad that there are centralized databases listing everyone who takes ADHD meds?

Between this and the wave of integration already happening in independent/private schools, no child and no educator is safe from the AI edtech grift. Gen Z and Gen Alpha are cooked.

"Federal agencies would be instructed to take steps to train students in using AI...The agencies would also be asked to partner with the private sector...All educators should undergo professional development to integrate AI into all subject areas, the draft order says."

jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl. yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’. no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.

And stop supporting anything to do with stupid Harry fucking Potter.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

this shit's so terrifying i can barely function tbh

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.

Anyone that stops supporting us at the slightest amount of pressure was never supporting us in the first place.

There's a vast gulf between trans and cis understanding of what it means for a trans sex worker to say she needed to sell sex to pay for surgery. We read that the same as if a diabetic said they needed to sell sex to pay for insulin. Cis people still see our medical needs as frivolous, a choice.

Oh this does not seem to demonstrate the claim made. The only way you could think that is if you're prejudiced against the woman you're interviewing.

As ever, I could be talking about trans rights, or I could be talking about psychiatry. In a sense, it doesn't matter; it's all the same: It's some small group of people who've decided what constitutes "normal" and that they therefore have power over whoever else, as regards our bodies and minds.

Liberals have been complicit in enforcing this status quo. Liberal ignorance and distaste for direct address of impolite-seeming or tricky topics helps create a situation where conservatives can seed their own (evil) ideas relentlessly. (Whose ultimate goal is eugenicist, as is now again apparent.)
