This could likely be replicated with embroidery and punch needle!

A new complaint from ACLU and other human rights groups details how the warden at a Lousiana ICE facility created an unofficial “work program” of manual labor and sexual humiliation for trans men at the facility. This is very hard to read.

New essay: REJECT TRANS DOOM-POSTING.

It's about grief, loss, institutional failures, and the horror of the current moment.

It's also a love letter to trans community, and the things we do with and for one another.

@averyeverhart.bsky.social and I are SO excited to share "How to lose a culture war: Social media, trans disinformation and the authoritarian right," a paper we co-wrote on disinformation, digital authoritarianism, and anti-trans politics! Now available open access with Dialogues on Digital Society.

an unhinged part of me wonders if we could get everyone in the US on board with universal healthcare if we started with coverage for pets

This matters a lot more than his tweets.

I'm a little confused about the visual - is this saying that only 1% of the US trans population has access to gender-affirming care?

Here's a fun fact: most professors only get paid for 9 months of the year, and if you want to get paid for the rest, you have to get grants and fund it out of those yourself. So the functional ban on trans people getting grants is also functionally a huge pay cut for all trans academics! Fun!

I broke this last week! www.thestranger.com/news/2025/08...

today a UN body announced famine is in Gaza. this oped from New Disabled South connects US funding of Israel's starvation campaign to Trump's BBB cutting SNAP as fundamentally American.

"The U.S. allegedly has no money to feed its children or the world’s children, but has plenty of money for war."

I saw Leah present this project at the last AAG and am so delighted that the game is finally public!

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

It’s a common complaint to spend an afternoon reading papers in search of something that turns into half a sentence (that you delete next week) – I’d argue that the “foraging” benefits are real, only pay off if you’re engaging with the actual material, & worth the “inefficiency” to learn more.

UPMC’s move to cut gender-affirming care mirrors a broader trend. Major health systems — from Children’s Hospital Los Angeles to Penn State Health — have also ended gender-affirming care for minors.

NEW: I spoke to SJ Joslin, a park ranger and wildlife biologist who was fired by Yosemite National Park last week for helping to raise a transgender pride flag on the park's iconic El Capitan rock face.

This tattoo, by InkedMongoose on IG, is perfect. No notes.

While Newsom pals around with Nazis and has his staffers write like just totally epic tweets mocking Trump, trans bans are spreading through California like wildfire, ignited by his willing segregation of trans girls just over a month ago.

Totally feel this. I got kicked out of the men's room as late as 1.5 years on T 🫠

I've been saying this for a while now, but anti-immigration fascism is providing a spatial fix for the slow decay of the traditional carceral state.

the thing about incarcerated trans people is that virtually no one will stand up for them & that’s fucking horrific because i literally cannot think of a worse place to be a trans person in america than prison.

if you’re cis you should read this.

trans people, keep on scrolling; you already know.

songs that have been living rent-free in my head for the last 10 months

not quite what you're looking for, but I'm working on a book proposal on trans virality that would include a lot of this, and I've got a related journal manuscript in the revision pipeline that I'd be glad to send. I can also point you to recent journal articles that would likely be of use!

🚨BREAKING: ISRAEL ASSASSINATES AL JAZEERA CORRESPONDENT ANAS AL-SHARIF

Israel also killed Al Jazeera correspondent Mohammed Quraqa and wounded Al-Kawthar correspondent Mohammed Subh in a strike on Al Jazeera’s tent at the Al-Shifa Medical Complex.

The hyperfixation is and will always be on detransitioners because cis "mistakes" are infinitely more valuable to cis people than trans pain.
