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.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition

People kickstarting Christmas-themed games always boggles me. I hope the people backing feel appropriately festive when they deliver in April 2027 or something.

“You want me to prove this guy is cheating?”
“Oh no,” says Atul, holding his hands up, palms facing me. “If he was cheating, we’d have caught him. We need you to prove he’s not cheating.”

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

This whole album is a delight. Songs about getting older. Black men's health issues. I'll have another song from it in my Best of 2025. What a time for new Public Enemy and the final Mobb Deep album. And of course Public Enemy is on

A reminder: if you see someone shoplifting food, water, baby formula, diapers, tampons, etc. etc.
NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T.
NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T.
Millions going hungry is a national emergency, like hurricanes and earthquakes. Withholding life saving resources during these types of emergencies isn’t just a moral crime, but a legal one.
Why is this not the same? I would simply put out a flyer for a ‘grocery store take over’ party in Barstow.

I especially loved SGJ's words today about how horror can be just as timeless as other genres, and when he spoke about how whenever he makes his voice heard it's a form of resistance because, as a Blackfeet Native American, he's "not supposed to exist anymore" but he's still here 🙌

Just in case I've not made it clear, I believe everybody on the planet should get free healthcare.
Yep, those people too.
Some folks aren't down with socialised medicine, and that's their opinion. This is mine.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.
In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.
Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.
