🏳️‍⚧️Transgender Day of Remembrance. 🏳️‍⚧️

Remembering those who were taken from us to soon. The ZZR will forever remain a safe space.

It’s Transgender Day of Remembrance. So many of our community are taken from us through violence. It’s violence stoked by fear and ignorance. That means it is preventable. And that means we have a duty to try and prevent it. Love, understanding, empathy, kindness. Those are the values that will stop the violence, stop the hate. Embrace them. And remember.

Trans Day of Remembrance is about remembering trans victims of violence, but for me it's also about remembering the conditions society sets up to put trans people in situations where violence is likely.

It's not just about a trans sex worker being killed by a john, it's about not being able to find safer work.

It's not just about a homeless trans person dying to street violence, it's about the family estrangement and discrimination that leads people to end up there.

we remember you. we remember all of you.

I just got done with my little TDOR thing, and after the names I read this little speech, that I wrote several months ago, and I would like to share with everyone else.

There are two wolves inside you. Technically this is a wolf-antiwolf pair. Lupton pair-production occurs when, as allowed by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, a neutral bison gives rise to a pair of furmions which briefly exist as virtual particles before mutual annihilation. The lifetime of these particles is inversely proportional to their mass, per the Heisenberg equation. In rare cases, presence of a gravity gradient (eg the moon-earth-sun arrangement at full moon) can result in one of the virtual particles escaping, preventing annihilation and leaving the other to become real. These suddenly appearing luptons are colloquially known as hairballs. In theory the distribution of wolf-antiwolf (hairball) production via this so-called Hacking Radiation should be symmetric, however in experimental measurements we see more wolves at full moon and mostly anti-luptons at new moon. The reason for this asymmetry is not known. In this paper we will

Right at the end, David does well to say spontaneous loving and reassuring words to Susan instead of 'Holy ****! That ****ing phone box just ****ing disappeared into thin ****ing air!'

Kill the capitalist in your head.

One year ago today November 18, 2022 was the Twitter Lockout, and in one amazing day a quarter million new users flocked to Mastodon. Not everyone stayed, but a great many did. We have continued to confront disruptive growth, while striving to hold onto ideals of community, kindness and respect for each other. Is Mastodon perfect? No, but today, one year later, the state of our platform is strong. Open social media is thriving.

A new scientific study suggests that climate change will cause snakes to become much bigger and I for one think this should become a more central part of our political messaging.

Picard management tip: If you're on red alert every day, then red alert means nothing.

Okay, I’ve just been stunned into stupefaction.

Just got passed by a car with three bumper stickers.

“Coexist” - with various religious and diversity symbols for the letters.
“Peace” - again, with various symbols for the letters.
“Moms For Liberty”.
