Other multilingual 1: "I dream in French and English." Other multilingual 2: "I dream in Chinese and German." Me: "You guys dream in language?" It's wild to me that other people have conversations in dreams. All I do at night is navigate confusing buildings and cities after my phone died.

BREAKING — I'm told OPM just sent out this memo with guidance for implementing Trump's "Defending Women" anti-trans executive order. "Take down all outward facing media that inculcate or promote gender ideology. Review email systems and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns."

There have been multiple reports of denied passports and threats of supporting information like changed birth certificates being confiscated. Documents may be at risk if visiting a Passport office to update gender marker or renew a previously amended passport.
