@glyph The alt-text harassment really bugs me too, if your first interaction with someone is being told off on CONTRIBUTING, what do you expect will happen next? It's so self-defeating.
A better mechanism might be the ability to suggest alt-text and then the person who made the post can accept […]

The hubris of those who deny #trans identities is breathtaking.
Who are they to say that another human's lived experience or identity isn't real, just because it doesn't match their own?
And yet somehow they just _cannot_ shut up about it and listen to another person's statement of who they are.

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills.
While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation.

My theme this week has been "Work on the things I want to work on while I want to work on them".
I struggle hugely with the sense of obligation (to work, to projects, to communities). I am happier and more productive when I can put that aside.
