There is ripe comparative historical work to be done in the stability of gender, the rise of transphobia, and state formation. Unfortunately all the US trans scholars are a bit preoccupied right now

A reminder that "literacy" is inseparable from power, and it's noteworthy how OECD defines "literacy" in ways that align with Big Tech and its demands for informed, responsible users rather than definitions situated in sociopolitical contexts and practices that make space for resistance and refusal.

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so. They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

Cool @alexhanna.bsky.social post: AI slop is bad in absolute terms, but it also sends a signal: consumers (of ads, or info) matter nothing, we are just an appendix on which to vomit the crappiest of the content. Plus, the effort to process the info is now passed-through on us...

"If they couldn't be bothered to write this, why should we be bothered to read it?" is basically how I feel when students turn in AI generated assignments. I don't treat it as plagiarism. I treat as a blank submission. And then I try to sit down with them and talk through why they chose to use it.

These are the same people who said that Israel was not genocidal but had the means of genocide, while Palestinians were genocidal but just didn't have the means. Living in a world completely foreign to reality.

i would go further: the main purpose of the new adaptation is to fund jk rowling's legal challenges against trans people. there's no earnest motivation to accomplish or do something the cinematic adaptations failed to do. this is just a boat load of money for rowling to bankroll her bigoted crusade.

Rowling is actively using the money you send to her for HP stuff to demonize trans folks and take away their rights. No ethical consumption etc but the calculus on this one seems pretty easy to me

I have really good news to announce to everyone. Because of our reporting and many readers contacting Planned Parenthood of Arizona, the organization will NOT over comply with Trump, and is restarting its trans adult care. Good work everyone.

1. I am raising the alarm: If you are a transgender adult, your care is under threat by President Trump. You should prepare for severe supply disruptions and policies that amount to potential bans. The latest CMS letter indicates an expansion to target adults. Subscribe to support my reporting.
