100 percent YES, can we do this today?

I actually think he was trying to revisit one of his favorite transphobic talking points about schools "transing" girls?

Because we know the stuff he added to the SAVE Act is the anti-trans stuff.

I swear I'm well on my way to a PhD in Interpreting Demented Lunatic Fascist Trump 😬

I often wear Keen hiking shoes or boots for days I have a lot of cross-campus walking to do.

Keen's got walking shoes, trail shoes, etc. -- some of which look somewhat professional.

Also re: arch support, I get plantar fasciitis insoles with a super-firm arch. (The brand Walk Hero is affordable).

I live in a very rural area -- no industry, no nothing. Just cornfields, barns, houses, churches, corner bars and dollar stores.

I wonder if rural Americans have a harder time understanding the horror of this kind of war strategy -- they just have no framework, no worry it could ever be them.

In this case Anthropic wants you to believe Claude is sentient because then we can't get rid of it 🙄

If you believe Claude is sentient then isn't Claude a literal, actual slave? How interesting that every single AI CEO is totally fine with that? 🧐

Actually it really truly IS like "demons in the electric wires" thing because that was a rumor specifically spread by the gas companies to scare people into not using electricity!

This is like when people thought there were demons in electric power lines or ghosts in their radio 😬 🤐 🫠

actually I'm FULL of ideas today

tell me you're transphobic without telling me you're transphbic

You answered your own question, dipshit: "Current" facts.

Currently, trans women are women and trans men are men. Their sex assigned at birth is NOT "current."

Hope this helps!

(But also fuck straight off into the sun, hope a crevasse opens beneath you and swallows you right up, & etc.)

I only submit to publications that are explicitly anti-AI.

If misogyny disqualified men from your respect, you could all spend a lot less time being like "Oh my god, I'm so shocked to discover that he's hateful and stupid," later.

Oh hell yes

And hormones for trans & nonbinary folks

And free anti-ICE whistles for every customer

Oh I see they're betting on the racist white lady demographic that still loves to say "Tarzhay" even though that hasn't been remotely funny for like 15 years 🙄 😬

My February writing wrap-up isn't stellar: I wrote on 11 out of 28 days.

Though I fell short of #WriteEveryDay -- I still wrote on 11 days during an emotionally difficult month. Every word counts; that's still progress 💖

I'm on Charlie Kirk's hit list of "woke" professors, the TPUSA Professor Watchlist, so I take this as a threat from my government

The "[x] is really just a distraction from [x]" discourse makes my eyes bleed I swear to god

Ah yes, gender-affirming care is child abuse, says the party of the Epstein class 🙄 😐

As I keep SAYING:

I hope it's shingles and I hope he has it because Doctor Brain Worm told him not to get the vaccine 😬 😅

Ah yes, gender-affirming care is child abuse, says the party of the Epstein class 🙄 😐

Hello! I am a trans journalist looking to speak with trans kids and parents of trans kids across the US who have been impacted by the clinic closures---please get in touch or share!

It's a huge problem right now -- the lack of non-fascist platforms.

Maybe if you need YouTube as an income stream, you can stay away from other Google tech/platforms so that you minimize the $ they can make from you. No Chrome, no Pixel phone etc.

In other words: do your best, fight for better.

Thank you for clarifying!
