Scientists find that methane emissions are still going up fast. A big chunk of those emissions are from food and agriculture (livestock, rice, food waste). But there’s a lot the world can do to feed a growing population while reducing methane emissions—solutions exist from farm to fork. 🧪

A major surfing corporation cut an ad with the only out trans woman in surfing. Advocates for hate and bigotry complained. So they took it down. This is a story an incredibly accomplished mainstream writer tried hard to place in mainstream media. They weren't interested. We were.

Transition stories in 12 words or fewer She needed to believe in reincarnation to live. Not anymore.

Almost as if the paper views trans people and the threats we face in the abstract--A fascinating object to be turned against the light and warily pondered, our systematic erasure from public life at the hands of a revanchist political movement reduced to little more than a shallow affect.

*extremely* telling that the NYT frames a family leaving a state because their trans son literally could not get the medical care he needed as a "politically motivated move" and an abstract "issue" rather than one connected to their child's intrinsic humanity www.nytimes.com/2023/10/07/u...

Threads is cooked.

block him. Don't let these people gain traction. If we all block people like this as soon as they pop up they will never get traction They feed off of "dunking", it puts more eyes on their hate. Starve them of oxygen so they fizzle out all alone. These ppl live on hate engagement so don't engage.

The American Anthropological Association's decision to disinvite presenters who claim (wrongly and harmfully) that sex is a binary is discussed in the NY Times: gift article. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/30/u... 🧪🏺🏳️‍⚧️

Of course NYT can’t help but both-sides this while it paints the organizers of the transphobic panel as being victims of professional associations that want to silence dissenting views. Never mind the real harm to trans people - the “academic freedom” to debate their existence is more important!

I'm doing a reading (well, lots of readings and answers to questions) tonight in Boston, at the Colonial Theater. This is your reminder that there's COVID around (I've had 2 family members go down with it in the last 2 weeks) & nobody will mind if you come masked or wear a mask, least of all me.
