I picked up my daughter at Harvey Milk Terminal at SFO last night and noticed that tourists would stop and take pictures of this "Welcome to SF" mural. I was briefly tempted to approach and say, "Hi, I'm your official trans ambassador, would you like me to get your picture in front of the mural?"
Just came across this photo from about five years ago of our two boys shortly after we brought them home. The tiger watching over them was already in residence.
#caturdayNew York folks - NYU Langone and Mt. Sinai have yet to reinstate trans healthcare for young people even though the State Attorney General has said they must. There are a number of steps NY AG Letitia James and NYC Mayor Mamdani can take, but they may need some pressure from NY residents. Here are ways you can help. Thanks!

hi, cis folks!
it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG.
care has *not* resumed!

The border czar said he is discussing plans to deploy immigration agents to airports around the nation as the partial government shutdown continues.
Shit like this always reminds me of the computers made from "laminated mouse brains" in Cordwainer Smith's science fiction stories.

A petri dish of human brain cells is currently playing Doom. Should we be worried?
Scientists in the US have uploaded a fruit fly to a computer simulation, while an Australian lab has taught neurons on a glass chip to play a 90s video game. How long before we are all living in a sci-fi movie?
