Okay if I can be selfish for a moment:

I'm delisted from itch. In the UK you literally can not see my profile.

A big chunk of my income, my living money, comes from bundles like this. It would mean a lot if you could share it, send it to friends. 🧵

A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle
It also robs students of learning *how* to research.

Please share this widely. There have been 13 peer-reviewed critiques of the Cass Review, to the extent that academia regards it as pseudoscience, but so far all have been subject to organised censorship by mainstream media. This is the first time one has broken through. Oz Guardian only still.
Worked hard to get this into Guardian Oz & big props to @fiercemum.bsky.social for setting it up & Melissa Davey for publishing it. She will doubtless get loads of hassle from transphobes for it, but it needs to be out there.

I am a writer, even if I haven’t written in a year because I’ve been scrambling for survival at Taco Bell. At my Patreon you can read years of my writing, from memoir to short fiction and poetry, and my 3 years of Covid interviews. Join for $1/mo (or more!) and drastically improve my life! Thank you
The best help I can ask for is more patreons. Right now I’m receiving about $450/mo from Patreon. This supplements the income I get from working at Taco Bell, about $1200/mo. More Patreon = less Taco Bell, more writing, more road trips, more life on my terms

You absolutely will not convince a bunch of historians and sociologists and whoever else is in this thread that you know more than we do about this and we should use it. I wish you AI enthusiasts would stop wading into our conversations. You have nothing helpful to contribute and are snarky.

We are now aware that teen girls are indisputably used as currency by adult men in positions of power.

Why are we as a society not mobilizing to protect them?

This is incredibly painful for me. I have never asked for help like this before. But I have had people reach out to me asking if they can help, so I am sharing my story and finally asking for help.

I've been lucky to have a lovely group of followers here, please share if you can, anything helps <3

It was such a joy to celebrate Hanukkah with Mandy, Kathryn and their son, Gideon. As Jewish New Yorkers across our city prepare to light candles and mark the seventh night today, I wish you and your families a Hanukkah full of light and love.

I'm pretty sure that at this point in time, the remaining opposition to renewables are nothing but the tantrums of those with interest in fossil fuels and/or could not get the logic of "there's no cost to obtaining the fuel" to sink into the brain.

I’ve spent the last decade extracting myself from a life that didn’t work.

That has meant therapy, medication, sobriety. It has meant hard decisions about relationships, time, and energy.

And as I pointed out to someone else: asking women who write about sex to go on video platforms and talk about books with sex in them is inviting them to submit themselves to a pretty horrifying level of sexual harassment and also judgement about if they're hot enough to be an authority on sex.
