“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Upgraded to MacOS Sequoia recently. It's surprising the number of times that local address resolution hasn't worked in one app or another and I've not realized what it was immediately. Slow brain these days, hard to learn anything.

I feel like I'm at last ready to shutdown Chrome for general use. Chrome is a great browser, built and maintained by a bunch of great engineers and amazing DevRel folks. But I can't do this Google thing any more.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

People who should know better keep harping on about how Substack is bad and all that, but half of my time online right now is spent reading Substacks that are aligned with my values from people that are actively standing up to the Trump regime. Fine, there are bad actors on Substack too...

The deepest part of me is terrified right now. But being scared doesn't make me weak. I've always stood up to my fears and nearly always found the strength to do what my values demand of me.

We're getting close to 200 sold, as we enter the last stage of this campaign! If you've sat on the fence, now is the time to join, to help us send thousands of dollars in raised funds to these critical orgs helping ensure trans and queer refugees to the state of MA find stable housing!

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 21: Q: Enough about racism for a second. Take a break! I'm worried about gender issues in the US too. For example, why is the gender pay gap in the US so large? It's one of the worst in the OECD! A: You already know that it's racism. Read the entire linked thread.

Of all the things Elon Musk has said, this is the worst. We cannot rely on Trump and his shadow president Musk. The UK must boost defence spending and take the lead in Europe.

I feel so sick. Enough with the lies, enough with the games. They know exactly what they're doing. This is a neo-Nazi movement. Proudly so. The only reason they've kept it coded up until now was to take advantage of those who didn't want to believe it. No more looking away. Face up to what it is.

The inane sound bite posts get way more attention on Blue Sky than the posts about the actions and achievements of those working hard to stop the Trump regime riding rough shod over minorities, federal employees and key government agencies.

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX. Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.

Great to see our intrepid reporter covering the events in the US! This is definitely NSFW and not for those of a sensitive disposition. It definitely was very cathartic though.

Heard Aya for the first time today. She describes herself as: "a human musician from the Penine region of the North Atlantic. Her work is primarily concerned with the transfigurative power of experience and memory on the physical body... she casts dark sculptures in genre alloy" Great music.

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men. Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.
