The “JAMA Article” going around about a “new study” on regret rates for trans people is not what people are claiming.
It’s in “JAMA Surgery” which is not the same as “JAMA” although made by the same people.
Nor is it new research. It’s a viewpoint article, which is clearly defined as an opinion article. It *does* cite research and is scholarly, but it’s not saying anything new.
Here’s JAMA Network’s description of this type of article:

Fuck so-called "parents' rights". Children are not property. Let's talk about children's rights. Let's talk about youth rights.
Do y'all even have a clue how hard it is for a minor to get emancipated?
I think the reason I'm okay with the rough edges of #NixOS, is that problems have a start and an end; things break in deterministic ways, so they feel debuggable and solvable, rather than just being subject to luck of the draw

If like me, you were a child of the '90s, you might remember "ReBoot" – a pioneering 3D animated kids series created by Vancouver's own Mainframe Entertainment.
These documentarians have gotten a hold of the original, uncompressed digital masters. The problem is, they're in the D-1 format.
If anyone in the #retrotech community has access to a Bosch BTS D1, or a comparable D1 player/decoder, I urge you to reach out to @ReBootReWind (on Twitter) to help preserve #ReBoot!

There honestly aren't enough transmasc memes floating around. All the trans\* memes I end up seeing are for transgirls.

@Dee Hey, how did you find out my favourite UUID?

A pal sent me this about wikipedia (tl;dr wikipedia is systematically sexist and virulently racist)
Maybe give the money you were gonna donate to them to Palestinian folks or other Indigenous/Black or colonized people. Or maybe spread the info around by grumping to friends and fam, I feel like a lot of people don't know this?
The 10-minute test: can I use a piece of software for 10 minutes without it breaking or running into a bug?
Disturbingly little software passes this test

“Standing with damage” is my current mood.
Also, this is way weirder and way funnier than being burned down like it usually is.

Damn TIL that RPG Maker first released in 1992 on the PC-98
I thought it came out in like the late 90s/early 2000s
mental health, negative
Instead of spending 4 days talking to cool people and looking at cool stuff, what I got was a fucked-up sleep schedule and people in a FOSS project effectively telling me that I should just learn to deal with the behaviour of an abuser because "they are not responsible for my mental state" and other such bullshit
Now that #37c3 is ending, I'm mostly left wondering whether I'll actually be welcome to attend next year, or whether 'going to Congress' is forever over for me.
@HannahCelsius@sunny.garden And of course cops are happy to use the hospital as a pawn to imply that it's unethical...

Don't y'all love how both Wikipedia and WordPress are shortened to WP?
