I know we are all feeling a particular way about the government removing photos of non-white, non-male leaders from their buildings. Here are images from my rural queer joy exhibitions; we put up big photos of the gays™️ in Wyoming. My book under review is about the value of art for communication 1/🧵

We're spending $20B to bail out Argentina, but they cut USAID down to the bone, causing deaths around the world. The entire budget of USAID, the whole agency, was $21B last year. Shameful.

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

Imagine the universe collided and configured in just the right way for you to exist and you choose to spend your limited precious years talking about foreskin autism.

I am the first to say that there are legitimate conversations to be had about circumcision and body autonomy, but my lord everything RFK Jr says and focuses on makes me feel like I'm losing my tether on reality

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 23h

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

We (Brandon, Rachel, and I) are working on a trans "resistance" vs "resilience" paper using 15 interviews with LGBTQ+ social service providers & 20 TGNC community members in TX, OK, and WY right now that we are very excited about. Hopefully will be out in the next year.

Republicans are spending about half of the total amount we spend on all of medicaid emergency spending on a single detention contract to house 5000 immigrant detainees, so which is more fiscally irresponsible?

Generative AI, in both form and content, and whether looked on favourably or critically, seems to embody a collective hopelessness about the prospect of human learning and creativity, if not human knowledge altogether. It’s as if climate change had fans.
