When we talk about genocides in the U.S., there are the many genocides of tribal nations that have been ongoing for centuries. There is also the genocide of Black people, the conditions of which have never gone away. This can be useful historical context for things happening now.
I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves
I'm going to expand this statement to say that astronomers should actually look at their data whatever the format. Yes pipelines and high level science products are great, but you learn a lot from just spending some time exploring the counts-on-pixels images, even for spectroscopy. 🔭
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it
Anyways.
Additionally, if you were to see me, you would think that I was healthy. What you don't see is the way that I need to spend the rest of the week at home to manage my limited energy after an outing, or the nap I need every afternoon.
hahaha okay america that’s enough of the genocide-brained anti trans stuff today hahaha whew haha i maybe have hit my limit for the day with the courts and the hospitals and the attorneys general haha let’s pick it up maybe in a few weeks or we could just not do any of that again hahahaha whew.
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
There is no marketing I'm more susceptible to these days than any company saying they don't use generative AI in their projects. I'm a sitting duck for that promise even if they're selling graham crackers or masking tape.
There should be an Earth for people who don't hate all living things
Seem to be waking up and saying "What the fuuuuck" more than usual these days
Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
free note to everyone: you can just say we shouldn’t be bombing Iran rather than pretending this would be fine if Trump explained himself better
Every data center is a war machine
no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit
@RepJeffries on X: Donald Trump promised to keep America out of costly and endless foreign wars. He is now doing the exact opposite in the Middle East. Congress must vote on a War Powers resolution immediately. 28 Feb 26
While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition.
Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.
No one should be using ChatGPT or partnering with OpenAI for anything.
If Trump can declare war without congressional authorization, then Congress has effectively disbanded itself.
It’s crazy that it’s basically just a combination of the single worst most disastrous parts of every administration in history
I know this feels pointless but everyone has to call their congressional reps and say they oppose war with Iran and they oppose Trump illegally starting one without congressional approval — both

No war. No war. No war. No illegal fucking war. No war, period. We have got to stop.
I sure could go for impeaching and convicting the president right about now.
ICYMI, the state of Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of 1,000+ ppl whose gender markers did not match their assigned sex at birth. These markers had been legally changed.
There was no grace period. It's now illegal for them to drive to the DMV to get a new license (w/ incorrect gender).
Mainstream reporters are desperate not to cover what's happening to trans ppl in the US.
The narrative was activists got a little too uppity and some mild hand smacking was needed to put them in their place.
The reality of a genocidal campaign of terror against a vulnerable 1% makes them look bad.
as a trans person living in a red state that i cannot realistically pack up & leave right now + i have community here i depend on: i ask of you to see the ways things can get better for the whole of us instead of abandoning a geographic area just bc of who is oppressing us in the seats of power
it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails.
it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.
If you do not fight at the barricade of trans healthcare you will fight at the barricade of the most stigmatized medication you are on and you will do it with fewer experienced allies because you left trans people to die.
first time ice skating in two years was not a disaster but the roller skating skills did not transfer as well as i was hoping
