I am so relieved that the little girl gets to stay for her cancer treatment, and that Khalil has been released but also to make it through this... all we have to do is make every single cruelly detained or deported person into a news story and then they'll get to stay? completely unsustainable.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Here's what everyone needs to know about today's big trans rights ruling: There will be states where trans youth will be able to access lifesaving, medically necessary care, and states where they won't and they and their families will suffer grave harm. If that's not inequality, then nothing is.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

Illinois has enshrined protections to meet this very moment. In a time of increasing overreach and hateful rhetoric, it's more important than ever to reaffirm our commitment to the rights and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community. You have a home here always.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Husband is reviewing my resume for a new role with the same company. Why am I nervous about him reading it?? He has been supporting the growth this whole time. None of it is new to him (or the hiring manager). The anxiety needs to chill out
