The entire Suitland federal complex seems to be on there, which includes such minor agencies as…THE FUCKING CENSUS BUREAU 🤬 Also looks like much of the Denver Federal Center is on there. Only houses the largest concentration of federal agencies outside of DC 🤦‍♀️

Came across this elsewhere, and it seems a good reminder of how the Civil Rights fight was won. Successfully fighting for civil rights requires multiple parallel strategies, and those "lanes" can't overlap. Someone who's protecting people, for instance, needs to be squeaky clean, legally--

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.

Well, this place is certainly picking up! Now if only there was a way to remove followers because I've gotten some really random follows these past few days.

Labelers are one of the coolest features here! One of my favorites is the pronoun labeler. Subscribe and follow the instructions to indicate your pronouns. Then they will show up under your name when you chat and reply to people and you’ll be able to see other people’s! bsky.app/profile/pron...

Gentle reminder that most disabled people can NOT leave the United States. Countries don’t want to take in disabled, chronically ill and “high cost health users”. There are serious financial barriers to moving - leaving most people behind. Spare a thought for all of us tonight - people are scared

Why the hell is she conceding already when the votes aren't even done being counted? She can wait until after the Electoral College meets. Let the orange asshole stew for a while. apnews.com/article/kama...

Stealth is not an option for me since I don't "pass" as a woman, and I'd have to hide being non-binary. The only way to hide being trans is by pretending to be a man like I did for nearly 4 decades before my egg cracked. Fuck stealth, fuck passing, and fuck hiding; I just want to live as myself.

There’s months-long waits all over the state for appointments at DPS Driver License Offices but apparently fucking with trans Texans’ lives is far more important. www.kxan.com/news/texas/d...

My disability is me. It’s who I am. There is no me without my disability. None that is negative. Without my disability I’d be a completely other person. You can’t separate me out from my disability. There is nothing wrong with that.

Texas continuing to show that it wants to fuck over trans people. This also violates name and gender change court orders that specifically order DPS to correct the name and sex on licenses. www.kut.org/texas/2024-0...

When you have reached a difficult goal, not matter how hard your struggles or how much it cost you, do not pull the ladder up behind you. Help those who come after you, so that they may stand beside you and share in your triumph. Solitary glory is empty glory.

This just keeps getting more ridiculous. Millions of families have no way to know what their payments are going to be and when those payments are going to restart.

The assumption that us nonbinary people don’t get gender-related surgeries and/or don’t use hormones is extremely inaccurate, on the record

'Nonprofit' hospitals are really key exemplars of what a joke the nonprofit industrial complex is.

👎 This kind of thing sucks. Especially from "progressives." Dental health is a nightmare everywhere in this country and does not correspond to political values.

There are so many shelters in the U.S. news that are shut down and begging for help because they're beyond capacity. Please adopt or foster if you can, and support low-cost spay/neuter clinics and TNR in your community. These problems are solvable if people would just make them a priority. 😢
