"You cannot erase non-binary and transgender people because you give birth to more of us each day." - Elisa Rae Shupe 🏳️⚧️
I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.
She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.
RIP Elisa.

Trump's first two weeks back in office has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random.
It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out.
Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win.
Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

The official NPS restored the text of the Japanese American patriotism monument originally mentioned in this thread, but there’s ZERO guarantee that stays up for four years.

I often have complaints about @nebula.tv ‘s subtitles, but come on. @tldrjack.bsky.social clearly said “What do we make of this, Nadja, Georgina?”
Is there no way to manually write the subtitles or at least correct the artificially inserted slurs? @tldrnews.bsky.social

Regency: no “language” of fans
Victorians: Look at these fans!
Victorians: Look at these fans!
The “language of the fan” was a clever marketing invention by Duvelleroy, a Parisian fan maker. In 1827, they published a leaflet assigning meanings to fan movements to revive fan sales after their decline post-French Revolution. The ploy worked, making Duvelleroy a hit on London’s New Bond Street.

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵
In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians.
We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties.
