transition care is miraculous it is literally such a good idea
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.

It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.

It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

Transgender care saves lives.
Study In The Journal Of Pediatrics Finds Trans Youth Care Lowers Suicidality, Few Detransition
The groundbreaking study found that suicidality dropped for transgender youth receiving hormone therapy by nearly 70%, with only 7 patients of 432 discontinuing treatment.

I think "fake it til' you make it" is genuinely a great bit of advice but people (understandably!) think it means "lie until you've duped everyone" when in reality it's much more "act like you belong here because you actually do and you need to get over yourself"

psst, no one is struggling with this - we are trying to create singular things that resonate with a huge audience or resonate hugely with a specific audience. We "struggle" with how tech and VC funding has broken almost every creative economy we have. So thanks but no thanks

i grew up in Alberta 💔 I always knew it as a stunningly beautiful landscape full of the friendliest people, ruled by a dynasty of corrupt conservatives. but it feels like they're entering a new stage toward fascism with recent actions like this bill & the crushing of the teachers' union
Alberta just introduced Bill 9, which exists for one and only one purpose: deleting the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms as it pertains to trans kids, denying them the right to life and stripping their healthcare away.

This is cruel, anti-democratic and anti-constitutional.

the lesson media people should take from the BBC blow up last week is that no matter how transphobic your editorial bent is, it will never ever ever satisfy the fascists
"One irony of this situation is that while those on the British left tend to defend the BBC on principle, they are often exasperated by its deference to the right-wing press..."

Exactly.

Celeste Developer Crashes Out Over Metroid
November 14, 2025 at 6:28 PM
reminding myself that I already knew that metroid will never feel as thematically powerful as it did with Super Metroid & Fusion, both of which still inspire me. I go through this with every new metroid game lol. the series' universe feels paradoxically smaller and smaller the more they expand it

the jokeman in prime 4 is disconcerting, but I just saw a scan message that said "standing on this platform requires psychic boots" and the idea of psychic boots is amazing
