  Another important story for those who mute my boosts or B**y. Real science continues to contradict the pseudoscience that claims that gender-affirming care for trans youth is dangerous or doesn’t work. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/landmark-official-dutch-review-recommends

  RE: https://ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommission/116929403135522665 I'm distressed to see the EC is buying into the carbon capture and storage fantasy. It mentions a technology that doesn't work, but doesn't mention eliminating fossil fuel use as soon as possible, which is the only thing that will.

  For those who mute my boosts, or B**y, an important post from Erin in the Morning. Needless to say, anyone who is still putting money into her most famous franchise is financing this. https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/terf-activist-jk-rowling-threatens

  I must have missed boosting this yesterday. This is the plan by billionaires to take the US (and world) back to the 19th century. They are not stopping at forcing trans people back in the closet (or the grave): they want to do the same to all queer people, and to strip women of all the rights they've fought for and won in the 20th century. https://www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-news/defeating-heritage-radical-project-2025

  Pretty much hits all the right notes. It’s a relief to see (at least some of) the press discarding the bothsiderism that has made them so ineffective.

  RE: https://xoxo.zone/@mathowie/116463258486755229 If you wonder why the government is pursuing a case against SPLC that they are very unlikely to win, this is the reason. (And animus, of course.)

  I keep seeing the news about lunar time presented as “the Moon is getting its own time zone." What's actually happening is the Moon is getting its own time *standard*. The problem being solved is that time passes slightly more quickly on the Moon compared to Earth (due to General Relativity) and so the Moon needs its own time standard for precise measurements and navigation. UTC is the time standard for measuring time on Earth, and LTC is being created for the Moon. #GeneralRel...

  I already boosted this, but for the people who mute those: it’s no secret this was the goal all along. They don’t just want to ban all medical care—they want to ban being trans in public completely, and force trans people back in the closet. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/17/children-gender-affirming-trans-care-trump

  This is an important thread. A lot of forensic “science" is indeed junk science. https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:yrjwxtjw2fmtmbaulddo7ec6/post/3jzo7clknhk2r

  This country has always had a greedy, corrupt, malevolent side, but it did a lot of good, too. Now all the good is being destroyed, leaving only the worst. The work of generations, gone in the blink of an eye. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/12/united-states-trump-destruction

  A resounding victory for trans rights in Montana, which also sets an important precedent. https://open.substack.com/pub/transitics/p/montana-supreme-court-effectively?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web

  It would be supremely ironic if, having made obscene donations to Trump to help secure his victory in order to preserve the hegemony of fossil fuels and roll back the clean energy transition, the fossil fuel companies have instead accelerated that transition, hastening their own fall from power. It would be a nice silver lining to this mess. https://www.liberalcurrents.com/worse-than-the-1970s/?ref=extra-writing-newsletter

  Oh goodie. TL;DR: excess CO₂ in the atmosphere is altering human blood chemistry. It will exceed healthy limits within 50 years if we continue pumping CO₂ into the atmosphere at current rates. Not to mention what it will do to people who are already unhealthy, and to animal life in general. And no, beyond a certain level it’s not good for plants, either. That's another myth. But yeah, let's keep burning gas and oil, and eating meat. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/...

  Great thread on how the US is doing its best to help China kick its ass and take its position in the world economy. https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:twjze4qqf6fgxz33ct52wlnl/post/3m6zjkxvrnk2c
