"Trans people are a tiny group with no power" This isn't true, and I hope my trans readers can internalize this. You are more powerful than you think. Trans and gender expansive people are 2.34% of the US population in the latest survey. That is more than enough to swing a race.

newsnationnow.com25.6 million LGBTQ+ adults in US; transgender population twice prior estimates: Study12.54% of Texas adults are LGBTQ+, according to the Human Rights Campaign.

All of this downstream of trans people just existing in local community sports clubs and so on trying to get on with participating in society as equals. Not a widespread campaign to Take Over Sports but essentially just getting along with everyone else.

I am so hyped for the new Ork Codex. After I finish my MA Warboss I dive into the Armageddon box. Units I’m most excited to build there: dakkarig, trike, and the Warboss. Grots are a bonus treat! #orks #11th

I think I’ve figured out how l’ll be doing my tutorial and streaming videos. I know the world doesn’t need another streamer but I plan to be painting anyway.

Ya know what’s cool? The Social Security Administration emailing me a campaign-style message about how great Trump’s customer service is while I can’t access my account because of this administration’s policy changes.

I legally changed my name. Now I’m locked out of my account. So the “24/7 access” and “world-class customer service” messaging lands a bit differently from here.

Begging news outlets to stop illustrating deadly heat waves with happy beach fun 🏖️😎 and life-saving vaccines with terrifying needle assaults 💉😭. Especially on social media (where many/most people get their news) the photo is the most prominent part of the story; these choices undermine it completely

FFS I thought we'd moved past the ignorance of illustrating stories about deadly heatwaves with photos of people frolicking at the beach/in lakes/in fountains. Heatwaves are the deadliest agents of climate change. They kill nearly half a million people each year, and that's only going to increase.

Reminder: perhaps the easiest & cheapest way to tell Bezos to fuck off is by linking to Bookshop or (even better) an indie bookstore WHENEVER you talk about a book online. W/o a link people will just google it & that will lead to Amazon. W a link you can send a sale to a good business

But I haven’t found a narrative hook yet and the humor isn’t landing so I’m not sure if I’ll make it through the series. If anyone who has seen it all the way through has an episode where it clicked please let me know.

The same thing that gives us the brightest, most impressive auroras can also pose a threat to our electricity grid. Transpower #NZ recently ran an exercise that simulated a major space weather event & stress-tested the industry's response to it. I was there & wrote about it for @forbes.com ⚛️🧪👩‍🔬

Most IoT pentesting would be solved by forcing manufacturers to publish the results of their last penetration test and for b2b customers putting restrictions on them buying hardware that didn't have a test from within the last year.

you can do it too!

art is supposed to be flawed, imperfections & quirks are the soul of self-expression. pick up a pencil & draw, it’s ok! queer culture is proudly built from folks thriving despite poverty. ai is stealing the joy of creation from you; i promise you don’t need ai. create unprofessional art! 🏳️‍⚧️💜🏳️‍🌈

Here’s a small preview of where I got with the sub assemblies.

Got some time to hobby today, and it was wonderful. I spent most of it blocking in metals but then got inspired to try doing the eyes on the warboss. I think it looks pretty good!

This is good news. I hope the models are accurate, and I hope we continue pushing for further reductions. ~2.8°C is still a very serious outcome, but it’s encouraging to see evidence that progress matters. Climate change is a huge challenge, but it’s a challenge that can be met.

oh yeah, in terms of good news- I haven't seen anyone talking about this??? In short- worst case scenario of 4C warming by 2100 is no longer possible, new worst-case is 2.8C now DOES NOT MEAN we just relax- the only way we got here is through hard work- but it means THE HARD WORK IS WORKING

A few years ago I was fighting just to find safety, healthcare, and a place where I could feel comfortable being myself. Today I stood at Pride, surrounded by community, as the woman I worked so hard to become. I’m a shy girl, and big crowds are exhausting, but I’m proud that I went. ❤️

I hope that one day we don’t need Pride, that the rights we fight for aren’t in jeopardy and this celebration of self is the norm and not a special occasion. When we all are free. Until then I’ll keep trying to build that future. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✨

It wasn’t the perfect experience I hoped for. There were some unpleasant comments on the way in, and I had a lot of stares. But I met wonderful colleagues, dedicated volunteers, and some genuinely kind people. I showed up despite my fears.

Heading to my first Pride event in the Netherlands today, and I’m honestly so excited. 🇳🇱🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🚀 Feeling grateful to have found community and looking forward to celebrating with everyone. Happy Pride! ✨ #Pride #Utrecht
