in the course of doing this extremely simplistic citation scraping I have gone from "what's the big deal about tailwind, if it helps some less CSS-savvy engineers make things that look nice, let people enjoy things" to "tailwind delenda est" in the space of about 2 hours. I did not realize that tailwind sites, in addition to using the tailwind concrete-style classes, thereby habitually abandon *all* semantic markup at the same time

The vast majority of people who will be impacted by trans bans in sports will be little girls with short hair or arms that are "too muscular."

It will also mean that when a woman is good at her sport the disgusting grumbling and whispering about "may she is he" gets taken more seriously.

This happened with Paula Radcliffe for running marathons too fast. If it helps you to think of a white cis woman being the victim of this.

Of course little black girls will take the brunt of this. As ever.

Mullin is not “part” Native American, he is a citizen of Cherokee Nation. Saying “part” comes from blood quantum, in which the US government tried to legislate Native people out of existence by measuring what percent Native we are.

She left at 7am to go teach the hands on labs that she teaches where they handle cells, where they've increased class sizes and reduced TAs, she spends more contact hours with students in lab basements than any other class on the campus. She created a program for community college transfer students to get funded jobs in labs, opening up STEM pathways for those who never would've gotten the chance. For all her above and beyond work she's demonized as "doing DEI in science" which they call illegal

So, serious questions. I keep seeing people in tech talk as if they don’t see the difference between indexing media to aid in the discovery of said media and indexing it all to replace it and deprive the creators of revenue.

Is it really not obvious to people in tech why people in the arts and creative industries might be fine with the former but extraordinarily furious about the latter? Or that the legal framework surrounding the two might actually be different?
