Scientific American talks about #StochasticTerrorism which I believe is the tool being used by the right to generate a plausibly deniable #AntiTrans #Genocide
How Stochastic Terrorism Uses Disgust to Incite Violence
Pundits are weaponizing disgust to fuel violence, and itβs affecting our humanity

I'm not pushing anything, I'm drawing a line I refuse to cross. There's a difference.
@rebeccabguinn @TonyStark @Heimdall @curiouscatastrophe
Rebecca; What I'm interpreting your posts to mean is that we (the left) should not worry about rights for Trans people, because it's a difficult topic. We should stick to more mainstream issues. I think that's why you're getting the pushback you are. I'm not abandoning people. I'm not going to leave them to fight for the basic right to exist. I can't be that person. I won't be.
Actually, a wolf in sheepβs clothing would be pretty cute.

And when they talk about you they'd marvel at how clean and articulate you are.

Today is #YomHaShoah, #HolocaustRemembranceDay. We mourn our families and others who didnβt survive the genocide. 6 million Jews. My grandfatherβs 4 sisters (Chana, Devorah, Ethel, Malka), and his parents were all murdered. Photo is one of his murdered sisters. He came to Canada to escape #antisemitism. #NeverAgain

We added #Mastodon to Embedly. So now Mastodon links embed more naturally on #Medium and every other service that uses Embedly to handle embeds.

Ripley knows how to handle that.
Happy launch day to Valerie Fridland's "Like, Literally, Dude"! A book that made me say, "Wow!" multiple times.
It's not often that a language books surprises me these days, but this one did. (And yes, that's my blurb on the cover that reads "Smart and funnyβI loved it!")
Get ready to listen to Valerie talk about my favorite parts of the book on tomorrow's Grammar Girl podcast.
Having a new book come out is like having a child! Will they grow and be welcomed???

re: Lewd
The bishop asked me if I was a practicing homosexual, I told him I didn't need to practice anymore, I'd perfected it.

The bishop asked me if I had a problem with masturbation. I said nope I'm pretty good at it!
gotta tell you that not only am I tired of the right wing trying to legislate my friends and family out of existence, but I'm also tired of both the complacency of some on the left and the abstraction of trans rights into some kind of strategic tool that should be just *dropped* because "middle america doesn't get it"
you don't have to understand someone else's gender identity, but disregarding them as irrelevant because you don't "get it" puts you squarely in the same camp as desantis and trump and the rest of the far-right, because you're denying their essential personhood. if you're repeating right-wing talking points, that should be a huge internal red flag and you should probably examine some things at length
trans rights means exactly what it says. it's not a left wing talking point -- it's the human recognition of other humans as humans and accepting them for who they are. you don't have to "get it," but yeah, you do have to treat people who are just trying to live their lives as people
Another day, another act of sabotage inside Russia. Today it is the very center of Siberian oil production, the city of Tyumen, which endures an enormous fire.
