FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Most trans people, everywhere they go, have to be the outnumbered loser who cares about the anti-trans movement, and who notices how that movement lodges itself in “safe” territory, in order to make calling it out look crazy and unreasonable. The most powerful thing you can do in this situation doesn’t concern your attachments, or even your beliefs. It’s giving up on the idea that there is such a thing as safe territory. A kid’s book, a magic wand, even the idea of joy itself can be a tool used to club a kid back into the closet. Act accordingly. 

This recent Defector article made something click for me re: my feelings on Harry Potter, which is that every time you encounter someone enjoying it, you as a trans person are reminded that you are completely and utterly alone in caring about your own humanity.

I kind of hate that HP is embedded in the insufferable discourses of “death of the author” / “separating the art from the artist” / “watching children’s programming is a sign of intellectual deficiency” / “let people enjoy things” / etc. All of these conversations are long-dead horses, and I’m probably not alone in saying that I find them very boring. But more fundamentally they feel off-topic when talking about Harry Potter. Framing HP in those terms feels like it’s minimising what is actually being discussed, which is a trans-exterminationist billionaire. The degree and scale of harm makes it feel qualitatively different from other properties that usually get debated within those discourse cycles.
