I grew up reading popular science in print, so seeing this today, so many years later, is magical
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

The media blackout on the hunger strikers is disgusting.
Nothing but puppets for the worst people in the UK.
I've yet to meet a person in the real world who has heard anything about it.

This Day in Labor History: November 22, 1909. Approximately 20,000 garment workers in New York City went on strike against the horrendous conditions of their sweatshops. This strike, known as the Uprising of the 20,000, was the largest strike led by women in American history to that time!!!

Getting the hang of #blender extension development. So excited to be able to start showing people Materialize, particularly riggers. It combines geo-nodes and object/data-block creation to allow for procedural rigging and skinning.

Rigging is such a fascinating field but I worry that by focusing so much on it, I'm not getting the animation practice I need.

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7
