The same thing happened in Ohio to a trans man a few years ago. He used a public bathroom (that the owner of a campsite, who knew him, TOLD him to use) and a mob attacked him. He didn't fight back but when police showed up, they still arrested him. So. This is why trans people are afraid to pee.

A trans couple has been brutalized by a mob, and then the trans woman ended up being arrested afterwards, at a public bathroom in Louisiana. EITM writer S Baum investigates this horrible act of violence in our latest piece. www.erininthemorning.com/p/trans-coup...

SCREEN Act, which would have required mandatory age-verification for sites (like this) that allow "material harmful to minors" failed to pass out of committee after thousands and thousands of people called their Senators. More work ahead!

Ah this really hits.. Especially the part about feeling deep SHAME at not being able to go sometimes, because the fear of being "caught" is so intense.. I have a list of places with gender neutral restrooms on our Maps, and before we go anywhere I have to find places around I know will have them...

Here's my Cosmo piece about how segregated bathrooms have impacted my own health www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a6...

Oh boy do I feel this, men's restrooms are both fraught and often also disgusting (cis dudes do you realize we don't have to live this way??) and I know this struggle. I have a multitude of coping mechanisms including counting by prime numbers.

I took a moody photo last night because I have to get rid of all of my facial hair briefly for a big Thing. Rip terrible patchy hairs!! May you grow back in less terribly.

You ever think about the delicate interconnected web of improbable happenstance that brought the people you care about into your life and start crying with gratitude?

Posthumous uncanny AI of me speaking at my own funeral: You were all right, the pronouns were too hard and really annoying and I was rude when I corrected you. Chicken marinara. Seven plus three is twelve My parents: It's so nice to get closure, it really sounds just like her

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

Its kinda wild how seeing a US flag in someone’s profile no matter the app winds up being the most telling red flag ever, 90-95% of the time without fail.

This is wholly unsustainable

Spent a week in the wilderness with a bunch of artists, all in the name of conservation. There'll be a vernissage and fundraising auction of the art come fall. We also canoed, stargazed, fished, and picked wild mushrooms.

It is 2006. I am 22. The US is mired in a costly Forever War. A predictable historic market collapse looms. I do not have health insurance. It is 2026. I am 42. The US is mired in a costly Forever War. A predictable historic market collapse looms. I do not have health insurance.

a $20 boot lasts a month but a $200 boot lasts 50 years but the company that makes the $200 boot got bought out by private equity and changed factories to the same one that makes the $20 boot so now it only lasts a year but another company bought the original factory and is selling boots for $400

"people long for cheap disposable things" or buying goods has become a crapshoot of quality and people are focusing on the only signals that are reliable: price and social signals

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

Hank Green should not use LLMs in his work. Working scientists have specific use cases for LLMs, but science communicators like Hank and I do not. They add more vulnerability than value in our field. I laid out some history and background to walk you through the reasons why.

Our new vet is being weirdly gatekeepy about pills and I had to explain that dogs don't take pills great and sometimes spit them out and then you really can't get that pill back in them all wet and tasting like shit, so you might need *gasp* an extra fucking pill How are vets this obtuse?

Update the nubbins have grown!!!
