A national social transition ban is slowly working its way through Congress. While the bill is framed around parental consent, this means that any child with unaffirming parents is legally barred from social transition, and teachers are prohibited from being affirming in *any* way.

Yikes. YIKES. For a company of Meta’s size and sophistication to be storing passwords in plaintext is almost unthinkably reckless and incompetent. I genuinely cannot fathom how that was allowed to occur. This isn’t even security 101, it’s like Baby’s First Infosec Coloring Book.

If you read the Washington Post story i shared in here yesterday about the trans teen volleyball player who had her life ruined by bigots and the police. This is a verified fundraiser (I have personal verification) to help them raise moving expenses to flee Florida.

Love American disaster relief, where after you lose everything there’s a cop there to make sure you know that trying to save your own life is looting.

In the ten days since I wrote something titled "Everywhere Is Under Water" about flooding in Romania/Poland/etc, Nigeria/Chad/west Africa, and Vietnam/Myanmar/nearby, OTHER flooding has killed more than 20 in parts of Mexico, around 150 in Nepal, and at least 66 in the US thanks to Helene.In the ten days since I wrote something titled "Everywhere Is Under Water" about flooding in Romania/Poland/etc, Nigeria/Chad/west Africa, and Vietnam/Myanmar/nearby, OTHER flooding has killed more than 20 in parts of Mexico, around 150 in Nepal, and at least 66 in the US thanks to Helene.
