Report – Unsafe: Meta Fails to Moderate Extreme Anti-trans Hate Across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads | GLAAD
GLAAD’s Social Media Safety Program reported the following anti-trans hate content across Instagram, Facebook, and Threads; Meta deemed all of it non-violative or did not take action on it.

I’ll be very honest. I am feeling multiple sides to this.
On the one hand I’m very glad to know there are people who support me and the trans community. Great job on realising the trans person might not be up for someone coming up to them.
On the other hand, I don’t always want to be clocked as being trans. Sometimes I just want someone to see me as Jae and not as me being trans. Sometimes having someone notice I’m trans is actually hard to deal with.

Lower numbers in Flensburg🇩🇪 are always desirable - whether it's points for German drivers (traffic fines) - or district heating temperatures. By reducing the need for 95°C heat from 10 > 1%, it's much easier to let heat pumps take over most of the heat supply. That's what the local utility will do.

Transformation in Flensburg: low temperatures for efficient heat pumps
As an innovative public utility company, Stadtwerke Flensburg is committed to decarbonisation and CO2 neutrality. To achieve this goal, the municipal utility company is working with Gradyent to reduce temperatures in the district heating system. As part of the partnership, the two companies have found a way to reduce the necessary annual heat share with a temperature above 95°C from around 10% to 1%. This means that heat pumps can be used to a higher extent and operated efficiently.

Seen but not heard: The New York Times failed to quote trans people in over 60% of 2023 stories on anti-trans legislation

Media Matters previously reported that the Times helped fuel a right-wing anti-trans panic in 2022 by platforming anti-trans extremists, painting rising transgender identification as a social contagion, and fearmongering about the costs of transgender acc…
