All Things Go, podcast about the game of Go, has a really great ep featuring a round table of 4 ppl w/ #LGBTQ identities. Talking about Go, why it resonates for them, where queerness sits in the Go community. And talking about being #trans, & how to talk with trans people.

Really fun, really facinating. And it has the video artist that helped me make sense of the game, In Sente. I was so excited she was part of this.

CW a story of transphobia

I have, once again, expanded my list of domain extensions I would recommend:

.am (Armenia)
.at (Austria)
.be (Belgium)
.bz (Belize)
.cc (Cocos Islands)
.ch (Switzerland)
.co (Colombia)
.cz (Czech Republic)
.dk (Denmark)
.fi (Finland)
.ge (Georgia)
.is (Iceland)
.li (Liechtenstein)
.me (Montenegro)
.nl (Netherlands)
.nu (Niue)
.se (Sweden)
.to (Tonga)
.tv (Tuvalu)
.tw (Taiwan)
.ws (Samoa)

All of these countries have strong protections for freedom of speech, including speech that defends and promotes minority rights — such as LGBTQ+ rights. Domain registration is open to everyone... You don’t need to be a citizen or own a business in any of these countries.

But if you're concerned about #Trump & #RFK undermining #science & #medicine, the consensus is there for #transgender #healthcare, so you should be just as concerned about anti #trans rhetoric & anyone regurgitating it as you are for #antivax rhetoric. It's ALL #antiscience bullshit.

I do wish people would treat #transphobia as the serious #redflag it is, cos if someone is repeating bullshit #pseudoscience talking points from #rightwing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to #antivax nonsense & undermining trust in #science & #medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

A comic titled "Least I Could Do: Beginnings" by Sohmer and Lar. The first row of the comic is one long, wide panel, partly occupied by the title and credit just given. The rest of it shows a pair of white men (everyone in this comic is white) sitting on a park bench, kissing. One of them is blond and clean-shaved, the other is brunette with a beard and mustache, and has their dog on a leash. They both have shorts on, suggesting summertime, and there's a cute heart above their heads. Nearby, another man stands with his small son, who has a balloon and a Popsicle. A blonde woman all buttoned up in a pink business suit and skirt has a pinched, sour expression on her face and is gesturing at the gay guys, asking, "How will you explain this to your child?" The man says, "I'm not sure." He kneels down and asks, "Son? Do you know what you just saw?" The little boy immediately says, "Love." The father prompts, "And?" The boy says, "Bigotry." The blonde woman looks like she's choking on a lemon. Dad stands back up and says to her, "Yeah, no, he's got it." As she storms off, he adds, "Do you want him to explain it to you?" The little boy has a big smile. And a balloon, and a Popsicle.
