Dr. Jo’s long-term research was interrupted by the closure of Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles’ gender clinic. If you hear these people saying “we need more research,” know that they are the ones shutting down the research.
After being attacked for it by the NYT, one researcher has found yet more evidence in favor of puberty blockers. @veraeikon.bsky.social takes a look at this study in this month's Journal Club!
Journal Club: The Solid Evidence for the Use of Puberty Blockers — Assigned
In 2024, the NYT released a hit piece against a research paper that supported the use of puberty blockers. One year later, the very same researcher has found even more evidence supporting their use. A...

An update: there IS an opt-out email, you should check if your site/merch is in this "feature" and use it. If it's not there now, you should likely set a reminder to check back, since it's new. bsky.app/profile/monk...
Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

If you see items in a black box like this on the Amazon app (presumably similar on desktop), do NOT use Amazon to purchase. Go to the artist's site directly to see what they actually have, buy more easily, and not support this garbage concept that big corps can scrape whatever they want.

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.
I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

I'd expect a fake Trump DOJ "antitrust inquiry" into the Netflix, Warner Brothers deal sometime in early 2026.
It will feature a lot of fake-populist right wing propaganda about how Trump is protecting the public interest from Woke Netflix when he's really just helping Larry Ellison dominate media

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable.
every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.
