@simon It’s effectively just a polished version of the suggested words that show up at the top of phone keyboards.

@Rasp @MollyNYC @struki @GenderGP Also the waiting lists get really, really long. I got on one back in 2019, and I just had surgery on Thursday. I had three and a half years to question whether I really wanted it. Especially during the two months of preparatory supplements that often caused stomachaches. And now, I’m still in the hospital and I have weeks of recovery to go, and I have no regrets. If I wasn’t sure I wanted this, I’d have bailed by now.

@grammargirl What immediately came to mind was Star Wars Episode IV.

Some notes about the #Nashville shooting for #trans allies:The shooter was a trans man. Not a "female shooter" as is being reported. He's an evil terrorist who doesn't deserve any respect, but there's no way to misgender one trans person without misgendering all of us.Don't share his name (this goes for every shooter; they *want* to be known for what they've done), and don't share his deadname either (which is what I'm seeing vastly more often).1/5

If the police release the shooter's manifesto, don't share it. (Again, this goes for every shooter.) But considering how the school was Christian and the shooter was a former student there, it's likely that his goal was to get revenge for the experience he had there.This was a horrific act of terrorism, and the goal does not change that and shouldn't come into discussions about it. But transphobes are gonna bring the goal into it either way.2/5

The experience of trans children at most Christian schools is a serious issue that has hurt many people, and anger about it from the trans community is understandable and shouldn't be minimized.But the shooter is *not* an example of this collective anger—because other trans people are not evil terrorists. So when transphobes try to draw an equivalence, this crucial difference needs to be emphasized. Trans people are *not* advocating for terrorism.3/5

This isn't the first terrorist attack that's been motivated by a genuinely serious issue. Going by past examples, one common narrative is gonna be "pro-trans activism and anti-Christian sentiment are what caused this".And that's false. What caused it was the *guns*. Just like every other mass shooting.They're also gonna try to use this to claim trans people are mentally unstable. But crucially, the rest of us *haven't* done mass shootings.4/5

So ultimately:Don't defend the shooter in any way. Don't say that he had a point or that his motivation was understandable.But don't minimize how trans people are mistreated in Christian schools. It is a genuine issue. But people advocating for change here are *not* advocating for terrorism.And don't misgender or deadname the shooter. Any act of misgendering or deadnaming is an attack on all trans people. And the rest of us deserve better than that.5/5

@iDGS Thought I’d add my story:I can’t afford to wear N95s regularly, and so I’m stuck with cheaper masks. And even though they’re not as good as N95s, they’ve luckily still protected me from getting COVID at my job at a major NYC tourist attraction.But I’ve still gotten COVID twice—and both times, it was from people I was living with, who didn’t know they were infected.Transmission is especially potent at home. Any sign of infection needs to be taken *really* seriously.

After almost six months of work, I'm proud to finally present my integrated commuter rail map of New York City and Philadelphia!Showing five different commuter rail systems (#CTRail, #MetroNorth, #LIRR, #NJTransit, and #SEPTA), this map depicts everywhere a passenger can get to by train from NYC or Philadelphia without using Amtrak.This is by far the most complicated map I've ever made, but I'm incredibly happy with the result!

@corey I actually had a conversation about that on Tumblr a little while back! The Newark Light Rail and HBLR are short-distance urban light rail, and the PATH is rapid transit. I feel like it would be inconsistent to add those systems without also adding the NYC Subway and SEPTA Metro, and the map just doesn’t have room for those.(The River Line is on here already, though. It’s basically a European-style regional rail line, after all.)

I'm a bit late for #StarWars Day, but I've been wanting to do this cosplay for years.

@futurebird The claim from Trump’s campaign is that they didn’t create the video but rather just shared it. With the sheer volume of content they post, I can see that as at least somewhat plausible, and if that *is* what happened then I could see an intern sharing it without noticing what the text in the background actually said.It’s definitely a stretch, but it’s admittedly more believable than a lot of their other excuses for this sort of stuff.

@futurebird I already know most of what'd be covered in the last three courses, but it'd be really cool to learn math history!
