Celebrate everything. We have to remember what we're fighting for.
I told some folks at the Winter Brain meeting this past week that I didn't feel right posting about our work given all that is happening in the world... but talking about it made me realize that we cannot forget about the joy of our work, and the critical role that American science plays...

The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged.
Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.

I have an unfinished but long-germinating essay on this about like …. the myth of Grown-Ups, and the point at which you realize they don’t really exist, and that no one is coming to save us but us, with all our hesitation and inexperience and inadequacy to meet a moment we were not prepared for
Need less ‘the call to heroism has inspired me to be who i was always meant to be!” narratives and more “this fucking sucks and I don’t want to be here but someone has to do it and goddamnit it looks like that’s me” narratives imo.
