This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

this has lived in my head for a week and I gotta let it out

the new TLD applications have been published and we were the only ones to apply for .meow so we can move on with the evaluation 🥳

HRT is magic

What do we think, folks? Can we get this post promoting Bigg County Restorations to *5* reposts?

The results of the video I posted earlier was this iconic shot 👏 Danny León and his crew smashed it.

Fair play to Danny León, the Spanish Olympic skateboarder. This shot may never be eclipsed.

As the pioneering cybernetician Stafford Beer famously wrote, "the purpose of a system is what it does." If your bureaucracy is more concerned with fighting fraud than delivering service, then it isn't a service delivery system at all - it's a service *denial* system. 32/

Last week I presented my research on what the trans+ community wanted doctors to learn at #ASME2026 c/o @asmeofficial.bsky.social Went down really well, plus I got this great picture where I'm explaining the art was created by @happytoast.co.uk and not AI, and maybe more importantly, who the cat is

Cities dismantled their tram networks to become “motor cities of the future”. The result? You could travel further within 30 mins via public transport in 1957 than you can in 2026. Cities are seeking billions to rebuild networks. Incredible piece of work this.

Why are Slate Guys just becoming a new kind of Tesla Guy?

It is insane that in 2026 docker still has log rotation turned off by default

Today @victoriascott.bsky.social writes about Juniper Blessing, a University of Washington student who was murdered last week, and worries about the potential loss of a better future for young trans people she had always hoped was coming. www.welcometohellworld.com/this-pain-ha...

"openai.com" was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and "tiktok.com" was the quaint shared homepage of a couple as their relationship progressed from dating to married with a baby (2000). THREAD!!!

This book "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents" by Lindsay C. Gibson was a very educational and insightful book. I learned a lot about myself and it taught me about what I lacked when growing up, especially being a gay child, but also in my adult life in relations with family. #booksky

There is no world in which you're prepared for how incredible this is

it was an option to be beautiful.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

"The argument for electrifying our railways will become clearer in time." British Rail, 1979.

There is a wholescale concerted effort to rebrand trans children as gender questioning children. If the whole group are re-labelled, then they cannot claim rights as a minority group. If they are all re-labelled, then conversion efforts can just about helping them 'explore their gender'.

Pleasantly surprised by how much _just works_ there is in self-hosted @sentry.io . There's definitely some non-trivial sysadmin in it but I was anticipating far more issues.

hello I am launching my very own podcast with @jordanjamboree.pittbert.gay where we (mostly casually!) chat about car culture in the decline of the American empire, auto racing, and industry news interspersed with tales of our former auto journo careers. we call it TRAN GIRLISMO

Why does everything in Britain feel like there's a big "CLOSING DOWN: EVERYTHING MUST GO!" sign in the sky? This society wouldn't have built a sewage system.

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

Incredible how fast things have moved

idk maybe we shouldn't put the whole internet on one host just my opinion

I have criticisms of ICEBlock, but this is authoritarian bullshit, and the fact that nearly all smartphone use one of two app stores controlled by US corporations does not bode well for the future

I love writing prompts on my image generator and seeing what comes out.
