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.

“They can’t do that! The ADA protects you!”
People love to say this when you tell them you’ve been discriminated against or mistreated for being disabled
Just because someone technically shouldn’t do something, doesn’t mean they won’t
Dealing with discrimination is a part of being disabled

I recently finished watching Star Trek TOS for the first time and something that always made me want to pull my hair out is humans from the past being terrified of Spock. Like, calm down. He is a man with pointy ears, slanted eyebrows, and a bowl cut, he's hardly a xenomorph.

Guys be reasonable. You can’t go round calling people racist just because they’re doing Nazi stuff. That will only make them more racist. I am very sensible and nuanced. Can I have a column in the Guardian please seriously I’ll say anything

Anyone who seeks power shouldn’t be allowed it. At this point, I’d be happy with everyone having a go for a week. We can, I don’t know, throw a bouquet or something.

People are in denial about how quickly they could become disabled, unhoused or food insecure
It can happen to anyone & it can happen in an instant
Folks act like those receiving assistance have failed
That they should “try harder”
The system is rigged. It’s failed us, not the other way around

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

when I worked a 9-5 job, part time at a call center from 2005-2011, I was constantly questioned about my absences due to my disability; even though it took so much planning just to get there and back, and to not feel supported. A lot of disabled people cant work because they won't be supported.
