- Reposted by FrancescaIn case you can't tell what just happened, JK Rowling instructed her followers to take photos of anyone in a women's restroom who doesn't match their idea of Western feminine beauty standards. Short hair? Thick cheekbones/jaw? Too tall or broad-shouldered? You're now "a man" and will be harassed.

- Reposted by FrancescaWhen Trump encounters a demographic he doesn’t care for, he “disappears” them–in many cases, the very record of their existence. Meet America’s new “missing persons," and the govt campaign to delete statistical evidence of anyone who doesn't fit Trump’s idea of our new golden age. w/ @ashendruk.com

- Reposted by FrancescaHey, just a quiet reminder: it’s not true that people get more conservative as they age. *Populations* get more conservative as they age because poor and marginalized people die sooner. nymag.com/intelligence...
- Reposted by FrancescaRepeat after me: these budget cuts are theft. Our elected officials are stealing from us. They work for us, and they are breaking what we hired them to protect.
- BREAKING from @science.org: The Trump admin is seeking to kill nearly all climate research at NOAA, its climate science agency. Its near-final budget proposal would end all NOAA research labs, academic institutes, and regional climate centers. And it wants to fully end the NOAA Research division.

- Reposted by FrancescaI know a lot of people are boycotting Amazon, which is great, but it's hurting a lot of trans authors. Trans authors: Drop links to your NON-AMAZON book listings/storefronts. Cis people: Repost, boost, and, importantly, buy. Part of boycotting an evil corporation is supporting the alternatives.

- We made it skiing, a day late! Both kids looooove it. I went up the lift a few times, too, and was surprised to find everything was still in my muscle memory! What fun!
- I was so proud of myself. I researched, planned, and booked a whole ski-school trip with my kids for their February vacation while Spouse is away for work. We're at stop 1 with my SIL and niblings... and Big has a fever. We planned to go to the mountain today & start class tomorrow. Life is unfair
