I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

D*pp is one of the most well known examples, and I have two friends who were sued for defamation by their rapists. It is terrifying to come forward.

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

Sure, two seconds of user research would have told you this was a stupid idea, but it was much more fun to do it the slow and expensive way that makes everyone hate you

this is the same tired shit I've heard from "free market libertarian" think tankers covertly paid to make greed sound like an academic ethos for my entire adult life (starting with the telecom sector), and it never gets less stupid

ProPublica journalists walk off the job in first U.S. newsroom strike over AI

On the picket line in New York, union leaders said they expect “more concentrated conflicts” over AI in the news industry.

what the dems have long needed is progressive fighters with the ideology of bernie sanders but the political savvy of bill clinton and barack obama. instead theres been purists like sanders who are even worse at politics than the party leadership centrists.

the job of a political party is simple - make every issue political, rouse political feelings among the population and use those politics as a way to motivate voters and attain power to improve things. the leaders of the dems do not understand these principles.

we could pay women the same as men so it’s not cheaper to hire a woman?

Feedback is not just feedback! It is relationship-building! This should be obvious! Hire more teachers so they/we can do our jobs properly!

I'm telling you, the solution to many problems in education is to hire school librarians (at a liveable wage, with administrative support, and adequate resources). Your students don't need an LLM, they need a librarian.

cis women transphobes are as embarassing as they are revolting because they will declare with their whole chest “I am less capable than a man and I demand you treat me accordingly by lowering your expectations!”

This big piece of cactus broke off this morning and I took it and planted it in another part of the yard and an hour later the flower bloomed. Metaphor in there somewhere.

Kavanaugh stops: "Justice Sonia Sotomayor criticized a fellow member of the US Supreme Court for failing to grasp the real-world effects of an unsigned order last year that allowed immigration enforcement sweeps in Los Angeles to resume."

Welp, that cinched it.

I shall never be voting for the Liberal Party of Canada again (Ive done so previously once).

You can not allow a member who is pro-convoy, anti-abortion, anti-vax, and pro-conversion therapy into your ranks.

Congrats Liberals, you are the newest conservative party.

I like how George Washington abused the powers of his office by asking a local federal official where Ona Judge had escaped to try to find her; literally an impeachable offense by the first and 'greatest' president

My friend Jennifer Dickinson wrote a terrific middle-grade book about a young actress with a stutter, called Maggie's Big Break. Based on Jennifer's own struggles with disability and inclusion, it comes out April 30th 🥳

Well this is unfortunate. An account calling itself "NASA | ESA Space Updates" (@nasaupdates.bsky.social), not apparently affiliated w/ either, has been posting NASA images without alt-text & blocked me when I said the images should include it. (NASA itself is usually pretty good on accessibility.)

Ahem.

The reason rules like this exist is to prevent employers from intentionally understaffing and making people do extra work outside their job description. If you've ever waited tables and been asked to clean the bathroom, you know why unions bargain for these punitive measures.

This is why I make cute and silly stuff, even if some people (including other artists) look down on it as being vapid or less "important". It's the type of art that brings me joy and I want to in turn bring that kind of joy to other people. If it makes you smile or chuckle, it's worth it to me.

I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

for the last year and a half i’ve been following the bathhouse ban for mpr 🔎 in 1988 minneapolis made adult bathhouses illegal. the rise of hiv cases made people worried, but the queer community also lost institutions because of this fear. nearly forty years later, the city may change the ordinance.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more.

They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom.
