The idea that opposing and rolling back trans rights is good for cis women and girls is ludicrous on every level and absolutely enraging when applied in legislation and policy that obviously limits and rolls backs rights for ALL women and girls

β€˜Age Verification’ could force trans people to out themselves to use the internet Automated online ID checking systems add new potential dangers to having a mismatching ID.

New for @theverge.com: i wrote about how Kansas' trans ID law and the "age verification" systems popping up everywhere tie into larger efforts to force trans people to out themselves both IRL and online

Good words of warning here. AI models are generally designed to read and incorporate (and, in a sense, believe) virtually everything they find online, with very few guardrails. The information can get divorced from its original source, context, & rebuttals or retractions. That's a really big problem

Longitude Position in a Timezone and Cancer Risk in the United States Circadian disruption is a probable human carcinogen.

Circadian disruption is a probable carcinogen

A well cited U.S. study of ~4M cancer cases found cancer incidence rates ~3-4% higher per ~20 min later solar time moving west in a time zone

I think a lot about how actual marginalized people are never acceptable, but weird stand-in (controlled) versions are and what that says about just marginalizing people more under a false guise of access.

Shinier chains are still chains.

In the US and Canada, Indigenous women and girls are murdered and abducted at alarmingly high rates compared to the general population. The 3rd-leading cause of death for Indigenous girls/women 10-24 is homicide. On some reservations the murder rate is 10x the national average.

Brain fog is not just being forgetful. It can feel like thinking through wet concrete.

If you live with it, you know. And you know how exhausting it is to explain to people who haven't felt it.

If it bothers you to see a Black person online say white people are racist, here's what you can do instead of attempting to refute them in their mentions. End racism.

We should just call it and say when one door closes, or strait, another, more dire one, opens.

Dire straits. We are fully in dire straits.

A lot of records that old wouldnt exist anymore, and likely not digitized if they do exist it would take some time and effort to retrieve.

So I'd say go for whatever it is you're thinking lol.

I'd just request the info here, most personal info requests are free.

Some records are permanent. If you're looking for health records, for example, there's a good chance the info you're looking for is still there.

You should check the agency/department's schedule for the type of info you're looking for.

If this was Canada I could give you more in-depth info.
