I visited Vancouver BC for the first time
I've never felt so comfortable anywhere
It felt like coming home, or what I'd assume home is supposed to feel like
It felt welcoming
It felt safe
I didn't know that's what "safe" felt like
I've never felt that way in the US
I didn't want to come back

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

every trans person in the US has a line. it's different for everyone but it exists. it says, "across this line i need to flee the country." a set of conditions where existing here is harder or more dangerous than leaving.
the worst part is that most of us won't be able to when that line is crossed.

I cannot express how tired i am of thinking about, worrying about, talking about, and stressing about whether it's time for me to flee the United States while I have the means and opportunity to do so.

Please stop telling trans people we're overreacting
NEWS: The full Eleventh Circuit, in an 8-5 vote, held that an insurance policy excluding transgender gender-affirming surgical care does not facially violate Title VII b/c — following SCOTUS's Skrmetti reasoning — "it does not treat anyone differently based on a protected characteristic."

I just learned that in 1941, Irving Berlin wrote this song. Technically, it's about Hitler, but it seems pretty timely.

Charles Whitaker and every “journalism professor” at Medill and at every journalism school who have been silent as US-Israel have hunted down every journalist in Gaza, young and old, should be ashamed of themselves.
In a final message... al-Sharif said he “lived the pain in all its details... I never hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or misrepresentation, hoping that God would witness those who remained silent, those who accepted our killing"

Me: I wonder what the relative accuracy rate is of these errors gemini keeps finding
1 week of data tracking later: so at best,
if I consistently say 'please,'
it's still only 43% accurate on average,
with multiple instances of 100% hallucinations
