this bears repeating:

last year, even “the kindest show on tv” Ted Lasso (which i loved) had transphobic jokes

and now, a third of the way into Hacks s3 (which i love!) there’s been multiple transphobic jokes

even shows that don’t punch down often STILL punch down at trans people

it’s not okay

A serendipitous moment of seeing this graffiti while hearing this song ❤️

"Every inch of road's got a town
Daddy, how come you're never around?
I miss you, like everything now."

Scientists estimate that climate change has killed 4 million people since the turn of the century, and this is likely a huge undercount.

But as the researchers say, a big problem is that "nobody is counting it, and nobody is moving in the direction of counting it.”

Learned a new word today:

respair

From the 16th century. It means "fresh hope, and recovery from despair."

I wish you all a year filled with respair.

Please feel free to pass it on to others; this one needs to be spread around, I think.
