I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman.
There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

It could cost USPS more than *$6 billion* a year in lost revenue, and lead Amazon to dominate yet another facet of the economy.
USPS posted a *$9 billion* loss in 2025.

I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it *is* intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful in art except for a way to seem snidely clever

Did you know the first accessibility feature in games was basically… pausing? Still one of the most used features today.

we have to start treating behavior like this as seriously as we treat physical violence. sexual harassment, assault and battery are very rarely about attraction to the person themself - it’s about having power over them. it’s about putting someone “in their place.”
Incredibly weird behavior from a man who has previously sexually harassed me. AI makes it even easier to spread low-effort misogyny, so I'm not surprised the online right is using it so much that it's melting their brains.
Exhausting, but expected.
