I’m the news editor for Chrysalis, and I’d love to get pitches on news stories from trans youth!
Hi friends! A good friend asked me to share this awesome new project— a literary magazine by trans kids, for trans kids, with a little help from trans adults. If you have a trans kid in your life, definitely check out Chrysalis Magazine! www.chrysalismagazine.org

We don’t have to - and must not - place scholarly writing and popular writing in opposition. Doing so is a losing move. Writing exists in many overlapping genres and we get to work in and out of the ones that fit.

The easiest way you can show solidarity right now is to wear a mask when you're doing your grocery shopping.

Seriously. You're protecting people around you and normalizing community care.

I wear a mask when I do my grocery shopping. Will you join me?

Oh.
AI models in hospitals miss 66% of patient injuries, failing to detect worsening health. A study urges integrating medical expertise, as 65% of US hospitals rely on these systems for patient care. 🩺💻

Insanely good shit. Pick up a copy today especially if you're into Lovecraft, are trans, hate big tech, and love your wife. Dark, dystopian but also uplifting in all the right ways. Can't wait to see what Mattie does next, and will be re-reading Boys Weekend over and over again in the meantime.

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”.

This is a manifesto against disability.

This is the language of eugenics.

Collective liberation must include disability justice! The first step to fighting fascism is to wear a damn mask.
People who don’t include disability liberation in their understanding of social justice will never make sense to me.

Like what do you MEAN you oppose sexism, racism, and classism, but the minute the lived reality of that oppression starts showing up physically, all your energy just evaporates?

Being trans is a prayer for something better. Transness is belief in a better world.

If you're trans, you're trans. Live your life and get the most out of it. It's going to be hard no matter what. There's no reason to be proactive about limiting yourself or making it harder. Seize your own happiness, tranny! Nobody else is going to seize it for you!
