"no, don't look over here at the truly grotesque face of anti-trans bigotry and what it looks like in the modern age — you need to be taught how only people with wealth and power have lives of meaning or consequence! why aren't you learning we're better than you?"

a lot of women and non-white people and queer people are *stupid assholes* and it still doesn’t mean it’s OK to discriminate against them there’s no “misogyny, racism, and queerphobia are OK when they’re being applied to stupid assholes” caveat, and that’s for very good reason

Just started the Southern Reach series, first book Annihilation. I’m a slow reader usually, so it will take me a while to get through them, but it’s great so far Very different from the movie

Cis authors: "I can't write unless I have my perfect cup of tea, steeped to perfection, my favorite playlist, the special pen I bought for making notes, my leather bound notebook, and a lucky feather!" Trans authors: "I wrote this book while the entire government was literally trying to kill me."

Being an academic fired abruptly by fascists sucks but if you weren't fired after months of torment and aren't currently suffering from trauma that prohibits you from imaging ever being employed again... 🤷🏿‍♀️ from my vantage point it seems like people care and are talking about it.

My apartment flooded yesterday damaging both mine and my daughter's possessions. This is only five short months into recovery from a black mold infestation. Only if you are able, please consider donating to help us recover, as our emergency assets are depleted:

I’ve noticed how often even well-meaning cis white men just *totally miss* that the Musk/Trump regime are obviously driven by overt and hideous misogyny, in addition to overt and hideous racism.

ATTENTION MUSIC LOVERS can you recommend songs that are about being a part of a marginalized group (women, trans ppl, nonbinary ppl particularly, but can be about more) if you have any 👉👈 its for a project but i dont listen to tonssss of music and i need 20-25 songs for it 😭 so any help is great 🫶

The anti-Indigenous harassment I've gotten this last month or so has been almost exclusively Canadians. Stop with the "polite Canadian" trope. There is a rise in residential school denialism every year in Canada.

Whenever I finally finish up the album I’m working on I’ll inevitably start up the next, but I really hope whatever it is, it’s simpler than this lol or at least gets made more quickly. Things left to do: real drums from real drummer, new vocal takes, mixing, mastering. So close yet not at all ugh

I genuinely wish I was faster at making things not just for selfish reasons but also for relevant/helpful reasons. I want to write tracks to help uplift folks but I’m worried by the time I finish whatever the hell that even looks like in these times it will already seem out of touch with the moment

Someone make a cowards website with all the members of Congress and CEOs and editors etc going along with Trump. I'll pay for the domain. I don't want to ever forget.

I'm not reblogging this for a pile-on because I'm sure you have the best intentions, but I need for everyone to understand something very important. The lives of transpeople are worth fighting for with sledgehammers.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

Does anyone who follows me know how to play the fiddle and want to add some flair to some yallternative/cowpunk songs I'm working on? LGBTQ+ musicians preferred because this album is all about being queer/trans

What is important is accuracy. I realized this awhile ago w white liberals trying to be progressive. If you don't know the truth behind various disparities, even if you assume we are "born equal," your rationalization for a disparity, if false, will still bolster those you are trying to fight. 1/4

She considers herself lucky because she didn't die. This was only 6 years ago. She was 23 at the time. She is far from the only recent victim of Starlight Tours. The RCMP was created to "control" Indigenous people. They still brutalize and kill Indigenous people ALL the time.

Being white and nonbinary and transitioning later in life does impact my experience and involves lots of privilege. But I would fucking love it if binary trans people would stop being transphobic. Stop assuming nonbinary people don't transition. STOP.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Can we stop pinkwashing genocide? Israel is an apartheid fascist state actively oppressing its queer population. This idea that I cannot oppose a genocide done in my name with my tax dollars by a state that bears the symbol of my people because of an Islamophobic stereotype is unbelievably gross.

Imagine if she and AOC were leading the party. That's the party we need, not the one we have.

It's veblenian conspicuous consumption at mindboggling scale. "Oh, you burned the amazon to make that? That's cute. Check this out, it cost as much as ending world hunger 20 times over" Billionaires competing to see which one can set the biggest pile of cash on fire, for status
