I’m done cross-posting @elementary to Twitter. I really hoped it would get better, but with the latest news of Elon promoting Ron DeSantis’ presidential run, I’m done. It’s become a far-right social network no different from Parlor or Truth Social and I won’t be a part of it.

Pro tip for people having trouble understanding how they/them pronouns work:

You already know how they work. You use them all the time, “Someone left their bag here. I hope they find it. I’m sure they’re worried. Let’s look for them”.

You can use the exact same grammar rules you already have internalized for this situation. You’re not new to using they/them pronouns, even in the singular, you’re just new to using them for someone when you know what they look like

Stop promoting fascists and alt right extremists. Don’t link to their blogs or videos. Don’t let them speak at your conferences. Don’t have them on your podcast. Don’t amplify their voices.

Just heard a middle aged guy say, “We can’t have that kind of toxic masculinity” to another man. Fucking love this. Be that guy

Regular reminder that “seeing both sides” is not a good thing if the debate is about human rights. You should not be able to see both sides if one side wants equality and the other side wants superiority. “Neutrality helps the oppresser, never the victim.”

The phrase “AI” has been poisoned so hard that nobody building serious products should use it. I would love to see more free software projects leverage computer vision or natural language processing for example, but I would never describe those as “AI” because it’s a brand destroying phrase at this point

Trans legislative risk map was updated and omg it’s so bad. It’s so bad. Holy shit :( https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/may-anti-trans-legislative-risk-map

When people say shit like “But if we had UBI people would just sit at home and smoke weed all day!”, like. Okay? Dope. What the fuck do you do at work that is really creating more value than smoking weed at home all day. You make the lights on the box at your desk turn on and off for a living, what’s the difference? Having a barbecue creates more real value than your entire job ever has

Trans girls, here’s your reminder that there is a whole market of push up and padded bras and shape wear and everything created for and marketed to cis women. Don’t be embarrassed about wearing the same shit they wear to get the body shape you want and to feel attractive

Yesterday I was looking for some information about HRT leading up to surgery and DuckDuckGo had a link to a Reddit comment that no longer existed.

And I think that’s when it really hit me how much this Reddit shit impacts me and other trans people. There is so much information about HRT, and GRS, and understudied phenomena that only exists in comments on Reddit. Life saving information. Invaluable medical information.

And some corporate assholes can just fuck with that on a whim.

What the fuck. I have no idea how this interacts with state laws but this seems really dangerous. The nationwide genocide is here now. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/national-anti-trans-bans-loom-will

If you haven’t already heard about this, we have an audio recording of republican politicians admitting that their long term goal is to make trans healthcare illegal for all ages. It was never about the kids. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPR3dVWUY/

The more I think about it, the major problems in tech and in society in general is that all the investment is going to solve problems that white affluent men have

Anybody who says trans women have a biological advantage over cis women should’ve seen me struggle with a jar of pasta sauce just now

I keep seeing people resharing this propaganda about the pope eating pasta with trans women. This is part of a conversion campaign. The church has not changed its stance on being queer. Look up literally anything else this pope has said about trans and gay people. He warmly and kindly invites us to repent for our sins and detransition. This is what that is. It is not acceptance. It is not progressive. It’s a conversion campaign that’s meant to be disarming

An easy project anyone can do that would be super helpful:

Turn on the screen reader and try to navigate through various parts of the shell and apps with the keyboard

If there’s something you can’t access or that the screen reader can’t read (or what it says is too generic/unhelpful), file an issue report in GitHub!

Would I prefer there to be like a us.gov instance or something? Absolutely. Is this better than this information only being available on X? I think so. Something something perfection and enemies of my friends

When I was a kid we were told the end times would be like this big event with like an obvious beginning. It kinda just feels like the end of the world is slow and boring. It just gets continuously more bleak but in super boring ways. Like the planet is dying and you will slowly lose your rights but you still have to go to work for now

To all the people that respond to the recurring AskReddit thread about waking up as the opposite sex with, “I’d let the homies hit”, I have news for you! You can hook up with your friends right now. It’s called gay. And you can have a little as a treat. Don’t let your dreams be dreams. It’s pride month. Go have some gay.

Being a trans person means suddenly having to be an expert on endocrinology, fetal development, genetics, psychology, anthropology, civil rights law, and now the history of genocide, just to explain, justify, and advocate for our existence and experiences.
