even after all

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!

The girl behind the extremely iconic pissing on a car (I'm sure it was just the nearest random car) image is finally fucking close to being free.

She still needs a little help though in that they won't let things go smoothly unless she can line up a living situation and a job so if you live in or near New York and you have the room to house a tgirl in need temporarily or you know any tech jobs in the area PLEASE reach out to Olam (who is helping organize this assistance), click the video above and go to his messages and send him a message!

What shared principles could serve as the foundation for a powerful movement against the persecution of immigrants?

The "accidentally ally teehee" thing of trans men being mistaken for trans women by transphobes does not, and will never, register to me as "the cis can't tell". It's honestly pretty blatantly a moment of "transphobes see or are explicitly tipped off to a Person Of Gender and immediately default to transmisogyny". And tbh it pisses me off how much transmascs don't see it.

Over and over again, I see bait posts from passing trans men with some approximation of "I'm a trans woman haha" to bait transphobes into tirades about how they'll never be a woman. Followed usually by little teehees about how affirming it was.

It never works in reverse. Not because it's easier to "pass" (a concept that already has little legitimacy) as a man if you're transmasc. The most "passing" trans woman alive could make this post, and they have. It doesn't work because the moment you indicate to someone that you're trans, with no further information, the default is transmisogyny.
