If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

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.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

This is extremely true and super important to remember. The goal of every oppressor is to remove all joy from you.

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

I switched from Spotify to Deezer recently. It was easy, it had all but 4 of my 1000ish likes songs when I copied over my library, AND it's cheaper. Should've done this years ago — Spotify's certainly been an awful company that long.
I understand why people stay on services that suck but not Spotify. There’s so many other platforms that are 1-to-1 the same but with less garbage if not objectively better.
