Thanksgiving is problematic. Giving thanks is not. As someone who wants to remember the attempted genocide of indigenous people but also likes a reminder to practice gratitude, I like to use Indigenous People's Month to support (and be grateful for) indigenous creators. A partial list! /1

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

We should be having awkward "hey, just making sure you know how to DIY" conversations with new trans people we meet the same way we used to have awkward "hey, do you know about safer sex?" conversations back in the day
Even if you don't DIY your hormones, you should know how.

To all the trans elders and late transitioners:
I thank you deeply for the visibility that made me feel less alone.
Knowing that others successfully navigated starting their transition in their middle or later years made my path feel supported & achievable.
Your presence made all the difference.💜

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

I heard there was a Cohen song,

But you don’t really get the meaning do ya?
‘Cause you see its about getting laid,
It’s sex, and love, and Jewish faith,
But all the gentiles heard was “hallelujah!”

Been thinking a lot recently of the times I’ve tried to explain how fucked up physicists are to folks in Black studies who definitely couldn’t conceive of how bad things really were until they tried to interact with the physics department on their campus and realized they were unhinged

the purpose of the puberty blockers were always "give the parents time for this to sink in and not kick their kids out of the house"
as I said, puberty blockers were always a bad compromise, trans kids deserve HRT and the cis will never be happy either way so compromising with them on a solution that is bad for trans kids was always gonna backfire
And let's not even get started on the absurdity of looking for a positive impact from a preventative measure, where the expected outcome is "not getting worse"
Puberty blockers had no measurable impact on divorce rates, therefore ineffective treatment.

it ultimately didn't get made but there were plans for a House of Leaves sequel miniseries on netflix that went in a really weird direction. the pilot opens with Danielewski facing serious backlash over House of Leaves because it came out that Johnny Truant and The Navidson Record are actually real

Instead of "boots and suits" what history shows is that otg queer and trans folks are perfectly capable of organizing ourselves. That the most gets done, by far, when we also take the fight to the gentry within our own demographics, who would happily ditch us to secure their own positions.

this is really the big thing with congress, and frequently a problem that plagues those associated with congress (staffers, reporters, etc): how things are different behind closed doors, and the public just doesn't get it.
