"More familiarity just brings more questions—the birds become more mysterious, not less." Read a new essay from @the_jennitaur about soft eyes, deep listening, and other ways to strengthen how we perceive.

Today is Trans Day of Visibility.

Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York.

Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue.

We’re fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.

Congratulations to the more than 10,000 @nynurses who spent weeks on the picket line fighting to win a fair deal that protects patients, respects nurses, and strengthens care across our city.

When working people organize, they win.

According to the people buying the drugs from looksmaxxers on Instagram or AI bots in China, life on peptides feels amazing. The compounds are said to improve energy, skin, muscle mass, and even your sex life. But are they actually safe? https://t.co/RY9eqpG2xq
