I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

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.

Well, this is an utter disaster for science.

This gutting of peer review is very likely driven by Project 2025/OMB/Vought, very likely is about funding junk science, and very likely is coming for #NIH and biomedical research next.

If you have a bank account in your country or use U.S. technology, as most of us do, this will 100% affect you and your loved ones now and well into the foreseeable future. And this is why #Digitalsovereignty should be a goal for every democratic government if they are serious about freedom.

If you want to help someone with a brand new account- I was the first donor to Hamza just this morning (also it took forever for him to make an account on here because of internet/ Bluesky so he has been waiting a longtime for help)
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hamza. Hamza was a barber who had opened his own shop before the war began. He lost his home and shop and most tragically his younger brother. He’s been trying to rebuild and to help his orphaned nieces and nephews Huda, 5, Tala, 3 and Sham, 1

So, to those who say "masks don't work", cite the flawed Cochrane report, insist upon an unfeasible RCT, accuse folks of panic, and undermine public health on social and mainstream media during a flu/RSV epidemic...

Two of the most at risk prisoners hunger striking right now are trans, and yet we have seen very few of the queer news sites that have covered our actions bring up the hunger strikers or their reasons for action.
Instead they've been awash with Sandie Peggy discourse.
Where is the solidarity?

The European Society of Cardiologists is also saying we should all vaccinate because heart damage is becoming more common because of COVID. When is the government going to reverse the biggest omnishambles in public health ‘living with Covid’.

Sadly, the 2nd deadline is missed and a $50 late fee is applied.

I owe $332 to stay housed for December.

It's critical that this is met asap for shelter and safety TYSM to all who care what happens to me.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

"Of the 991 history exam questions set in 2023, 357 featured a named individual, but only 31 were women – and nine of those were references to Elizabeth I or her reign."

Dr Natasha R. Hodgson of Nottingham Trent University writes this week in The Conversation bit.ly/49ZqTiq
Women are still absent from how history is taught and assessed in England
Over a third of GCSE, AS and A-level exam papers in 2023 made no mention of women at all.
