Anyone have a favorite photo editor on iOS they’d like to share? None have quite stuck for me. Looking for something with masking so you can edit one area seperate from others. Preferably with decent auto selection of backgrounds and objects.

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here
Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻♂️

I am yet again asking trans people to share something good that is going on in their lives, however great or small. “I made it through the day” definitely counts!
Mine is: I think my depression is finally starting to lift and I am slowly beginning to feel like a person again

Today, the president said some of the most racist, vile shit I’ve ever heard said out loud about our Somali neighbors, friends, and family members. And it’s not just words—he also launched new attacks on our community because we’ve dared to try to build an inclusive, multiracial society.

Fuck the BBC
1. It would appear that in recent reporting, the BBC is now using the phrase "biological male who identifies as a woman" when they mean to talk about a transgender woman.
This is an incredibly demeaning way to talk about transgender women in news pieces.

BBC Now Calling Trans Women 'Biological Males Who Identify As Women'
These stories come in the aftermath of allegations that a small but mighty cabal of “LGBT reporters” had somehow seized control of the BBC and “censored” right-wing views.

Illinois needs a progressive income tax. It should be on the ballot every year until it passes.
Almost every other funding idea they come up with is just bullshit nibbling around the edges in ways that still predominantly tax working people instead of those with real wealth.

A corporate head tax will be paid out of a personnel/staffing budget.
Which means less money for workers in Chicago compared to other places.
Corporations don’t pay the head tax.
You do.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

If it's an invasion (it is), then local law enforcement, be they state or municipal, shouldn't be working with or to run cover for the invaders, which they already have this weekend.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

If it's really an invasion (and it is) then maybe we need to do something beyond just calling it what it is. Close the borders? Deploy Illinois Guard to protect us? Some kind of economic sanctions against Texas or the US?
You said you would protect your people. It's time for action.
