It's actually fine to not want someone to have power because they sexually abuse staff. Not everything has to be pure policy. But if you must, consider that sexually abusive bosses are bad at their jobs. They don't hire and retain the best staff. They're corrupt. They ally with other abusers.

Woodworking, my debut novel about what happens when your 17-year-old student becomes your trans mom, much to her disgust, is out TOMORROW! You can order it at the link below! But I thought I would shout out a few other books by the trans femmes I really love in this 🧵! bookshop.org/p/books/wood...

Just realized that the actress who plays Diamond in “Anora” was one of the sex workers that unionized a club in North Hollywood (on the left below). She’s also part of a stripper co-op. Lindsey Normington is a real one www.jezebel.com/solidarity-w... www.imdb.com/name/nm79193...

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

In NY, it's worth remembering that there are certain protections against ICE to help people make their required court appearances rather than face the frequently severe consequences of failing to appear.

The axing of some 10,000 programs has consigned untold numbers of children and refugees to death, officials say. Documents and interviews reveal that the State Department appears to have made the cuts without the careful review it described in court.

i just feel like women's sports are only getting more important because they allow women a platform to succeed that has nothing to do with how they look - a way to value their bodies that is not based on impossible standards of attractiveness

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped monday. short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

Rahm Emanuel covered up the murder of a Black teen, and shuttered public clinics and schools. Cuomo covered up COVID nursing home deaths and harassed women. These men heard "now is the time of monsters" and decided to attempt a comeback. They both belong in hell.
