Amazon's changing the way the Kindle works on Tuesday, so if you want to download and de-DRM your books, you have until the 26th to get it done. I wrote a quick how-to, for anyone who is interested: next.content.town/p/kindle-drm...

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

Lots of folks are feeling overwhelmed and scared right now and say they don’t know what to do. Wear your masks, y’all. It’s one of the easiest, radical anti-fascist acts you can do.

We finally got the MMWR about H5N1 infection chains involving cats in Michigan. Two farmworkers appear to have caught H5N1 from cows/milk and passed it to house cats, who may have passed it to humans. What’s striking here is what we don’t know because humans refused to be tested. 🧪

Transgender men's invisibility is violent erasure. Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man, was tortured for over a month to death, and his slaughter is not being considered a hate crime. The media has gone to disgusting lengths to minimize Sam's transgender identity. Hardly anyone is outraged.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

Please note the police are misgendering Sam Nordquist. One reason violence against trans men is invisible is because it's often treated as violence against women.

“How many of us have to come forward tonight to ask that you simply make us feel a little safer?” resident Olivia Scanlon said.. You don’t have to change your personal beliefs. You don’t have to be gender diverse.. You just have to exercise an iota of empathy.”

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

If anyone claims that the current anti-trans panic was caused in any part by trans people advocating for our human rights, that person is lying through their teeth. The religious right lost on marriage equality, and immediately started going after trans people instead. That's what happened.

Your regular reminder that the first known clinic to offer gender-affirming surgeries was … destroyed by Nazis. In 1933. (Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft.) They always come for trans people first.

The reason A.I. is being shoved down our throats is shareholders want a return on their investment. Every company that integrates this crappy tech into their products knows you don't want it, but they've sunk too much money into it and don't care. Turn it off, don't use it, don't look back.

I also want to flag that RIGHT NOW would be a great time for the Massachusetts Legislature to finally pass a law (that we've been lobbying for 15 years for) saying that any sex ed in Massachusetts needs to be consent and LGBTQIA inclusive, as well as medically accurate. Make them sue.
