Periodic reminder that rather than disabling FaceID on the off chance that you may have an encounter with law enforcement, you can temporarily disable it and require a passcode by holding down the power button until the power down menu appears. www.pcmag.com/explainers/s...

In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

@trinketbirdy.bsky.social they are bringing back 24! screenrant.com/24-show-stre...

Overheard at Lollapalooza: “Is there anything hotter than a woman who plays bass or drums?”

I’ve heard that good things come to those that wait, and getting my physical copy of @jeffcannata.bsky.social’s book today was an unexpected surprise! The bonus limerick included with the autograph made it feel extra special!

Hang in there, it’ll be worth it

PSA for iPhone users: you can temporarily disable FaceID or TouchID on iOS by holding down the side and volume down buttons for a few seconds until the power down screen appears. Your phone will require your passcode to unlock, which you are not required to give without a warrant from a court.

Loved to see support for both @erininthemorning.com and @zoandbehold.bsky.social today in Chicago at a rally for trans rights.

We will not blindly follow illegal orders because Donald Trump wrote them down on a piece of paper. Illinois follows the laws of the land – not the decrees of an aspiring king hell bent on disenfranchising millions of voters who deserve to have their voice heard.

If they rename Lake Erie as Lake Ohio, then the mnemonic I was taught to remember the Great Lakes (HOMES) would then become HOMOS. This world is ridiculously absurd. www.nj.com/politics/202...

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

Less than a week before we turn the clocks ahead, a less then 3 weeks before the sun sets due west, signally the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Despite whatever is going on in the world, time marches on.

Has anyone checked on Matthew Lesko?

Amid the hellscape, I managed to get to the gym today for my first workout back after surgery 4 weeks ago. Less than two months until another surgery break. I’m also traveling for my first work trip tomorrow to Boston for a day amidst a large winter storm. I survive by focusing on the next step.

There was a time when the NCAA was fearless in the face of bigotry. Oh, how times have changed. www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

I just watched something that said Pluto lost its status of a planet in August of 2006. That’s Eighteen Years and a half ago.

I ordered way too many Girl Scout Cookies, from both east and west coasts. Using this list to specifically support the most vulnerable kids and getting to read about their goals and interests is the antidote I needed for everything going on in the world. If you’re in the market… buy from them!

4 executive orders now against trans people. He’s banned us from sports, the military, schools, and healthcare. Representatives are calling us slurs in Congress. So are y’all done yet? How much further do y’all plan to take this? And at what point will other people care?

So wait… trans women are not fit to serve in the military, but are also too dominant to participate in women’s sports.

so I'm reading the novelization of Ghostbusters II (1989) and uh...

🚨 NY AG Letitia James warns hospitals that denying gender-affirming care to minors violates state law—regardless of Trump’s order restricting federal funds. NY’s anti-discrimination protections still stand. Read more: apnews.com/article/new-...

Really hard to get any work done when there's a constitutional crisis on

Transphobic people really disgust me. This man, who is an adult who is perfectly capable of making decisions just like anyone else, is treated like a child by them. They just completely fabricated so much stuff about him and then tried to silence him for correcting him. Like he says they don't care

Everyone can see the anti-trans movement is everything we said it was now. They're trying to wipe every mention of trans people from existence because they know the science and evidence is against them. It's absolutely undeniable now. It's so evil and extreme

At some point we need to have a discussion about how to maximize the 1A challenges against Xitter as Elon becomes inseparable from the govt. You can't BOTH snoop through my taxes and claim your own speech--and throttling of me--is not a governmental act.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

We all know about history repeating and how it often rhymes…. We are getting history remastered with the advantage of modern tools. It should outrage everyone.

Remember when people would deny transphobia by saying they aren’t afraid of trans people? Or that nobody is doing anything to trans people to take their rights away? How quaint.

NO NAZI BULLSHIT

one small, sincere thing I'd like to say about what's happening now is: every trans person who's paying attention is going to be deeply affected by the way we're being targeted. even if they're not showing it to you. be patient and kind with us.

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

Just remember there were still bodies in the river when Trump blamed Democrats and diversity initiatives for the crash, next time they say it’s too soon after a mass shooting to talk about our nation’s death cult.

Erika Hilton, transgender member of the Brazilian parliament, reports that the National Congress Building is now illuminated with transgender colors. #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

Elon Musk, who has not been elected or officially appointed to any office, successfully pushed the FAA Administrator to resign 9 days ago.
