It never ceases to blow my mind that so many tech, sci-fi, futurism backers ended up swinging so far right. Did they entirely miss the point of the sci-fi novels? That identity, self, personal exploration is something we can nurture and grow? It's like instead they said, "no we like the dystopia."

I have enjoyed being a bed-rotting gremlin so far this winter break, but today I am determined to finish christmas cookies and get back to the gym if my back allows it.

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.

Here are the 28 Dem Senators who voted to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent: Angela Alsobrooks (MD), Tammy Baldwin (WI), Richard Blumenthal (CT), Lisa Blunt Rochester (DE), Chris Coons (DE), ->
By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban.
A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide.
It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months.

what I want trans kids, queer kids, and gender nonconforming kids to know:

you are so much more powerful than the ghouls using your healthcare as a political pawn, and you WILL outlive them (they know this, and it is why they're attacking you)

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is.
GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart.
But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Dear gym workouts I keep skipping,
It isn't personal, it's just taking all my energy to survive until winter break and there's barely any to begin with since we should all be hibernating.

The week before winter break is the worst, but at least I've had gaming (yay new system!) and a lovely wine date with @optimismprime01.bsky.social

Showed this to my older child. The response:
“This works for art and music too. AI can’t produce anything great because it will never have imposter syndrome.”
“This works for art and music too. AI can’t produce anything great because it will never have imposter syndrome.”
One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

After tipsily recounting experiences as a young woman to my spouse, I am now even more grateful to be entering my crone phase of life where older men don't notice me. ✨

Usually when school is closed but the inclement weather isn't actually bad I still go in to "get ahead" on things.
Today I stayed home, played video games, and did a few chores around the house.
I still have a long way to go to stop being so work-focused, but I'm proud of myself for today.
