You know how this administration is fucking over trans people? —Don’t let them win. You can help Xander out right now:

Just remember: 3 of 53 Republicans and all 47 Democrats did the right thing to keep this unqualified day-drinker out of this office. The other 47 own this fucking disaster. Never let them forget it. #FireHegseth

Even with my preternaturally low expectations for this bunch, “adding Atlantic editor to classified group chat with ha-ha emojis about bombings” is quite a bit worse than I had anticipated.

Me two weeks ago: we will not win World War III because our supply lines aren't secured and we are a seething bath of internal resentment Me now: we will not win World War III because our secretary of defense will add randos to the war effort signal chat

Cishet historians really do be like "you can't just say a woman was a lesbian because she was in love with another woman!! If the only requirement to be gay is to write long letters about being in love with another woman & be vocal about loving her, why, NO woman anywhere is straight!!!"

Trevor Noah called it when he said this man behaves like an African dictator. Uncanny, right down to the obscenely fragile ego and general vanity

I genuinely showed up at the library desk to tell a librarian that there were apparently secret books of the Bible that the church was hiding from me And I didn't understand what it all meant, pls help

For Non-Natives: For tribes here in the U.S. and Canada, we have to contend with this thing called Blood Quantum, the idea that a penis and a womb has the ability to "water" down and dilute our Indigeneity. Never the opposite tho. It is an example of Eugenics and Scientific Racism and Ableism.

Please help me live:

Yup. You don’t make deals with someone who has a track record of screwing and backstabbing EVERYONE

Yes, these are both facts about ACA. One does not magically erase the other. There are no free clinics in my county anymore. My last caregiver can’t get medical care because her deadbeat mom is holding on to her documents.

Ok but it absolutely meant everyone had to purchase. Instead of universal healthcare, which was much more popular at the time except with Congresspeople and party leaders, we got a system that funded itself by making it illegal not to buy insurance. Very openly!

The ACA was cool because you could finally get diagnosed and treated for conditions without that meaning you'd be uninsurable ever again. Including things like acne.

I regret to inform you all that choosing to do something helpful for somebody you care about instead of moping all evening sullenly and alone is in fact an excellent treatment for The Existential Horrors

Can we help Rook stay safely housed this week?

Before the ACA I had no health insurance at all, and had very little income, and this is a major reason (not the only one) that I struggled for so long to get any gender affirming care. I rarely see other American trans people talk about this as a barrier to care.

If it's easier, I do have other options outside GoFundMe: PayPal: affirmationgin at gmail Cashapp/Venmo: showupforthis I update the GFM with donations as soon as I see them, so it stays up to date!

One of the most encouraging, kind, and helpful people in my writing networks needs help. Please contribute if you can!

I hate having to ask but I've exhausted all of my other avenues and already had to cancel several appearances coming up. I'm trying to get to $700 and any bit helps if you can spare it. Thank you in advance! thaoworra.wordpress.com/2025/03/22/r...

Boosting for Sahar!

Urgent! New York! Contact Governor Hochul and tell her No Mask Bans! If you are Jewish, please tell her No Mask Bans In Our Names! We should have the right to mask up for any reason! Especially on the subway where, if we weren't in the middle of a pandemic, is a place where the Air Quality is horrid

This is what I wish folks could understand. Covid disrupts your immune system response, I was fascinated with Covid because of the way it operates very similarly to many autoimmune disorders. It is unpredictable and even 6 months after you're still at high risk of stroke, blood clots, etc.

AGAIN: Record your medical appointments. Even if you’re in two party consent states, even if the facility says no recordings. Don’t make a thing about it, just make the recording and archive it. This is now a long-term safety issue, and your medical record is a legal document that must be accurate.

I worry about the normalization of cruelty, and not just among Nazis.

I'm a nobody author and even my books are in here.

And my ssdi application just got rejected. I want off this planet.

Did you ask a single one of them to mask for local seniors undergoing chemo, immunosuppression, who are HIV+ etc?

The more I think about this, the more crazy it is. I suspect 90-95% of scientists worldwide have said something critical of Trump. This is a warning to all of them: stay away 😢

Three people have pitched in so far and we've got $950 left to raise. Thank you all so much for your help! Who can help get us a little closer tonight?

People with clinical depression, in spite of not moving a lot and lacking motivation or enjoyment, are in a state of physiological arousal, with high cortisol levels. Bonus: chronically raised cortisol kills neurons.

My partner thinks he's funny but he gave me a brilliant idea lol He's over here making fun of girl scounts and asking if there's a Native version of Boy and Girl Scounts and he's like they could be slinging boxes of frybread and I'm like....He jokes but this could work 🤣

America, land of the free. Unless you criticize our Dear Leader.

My phone and computer have similar criticism. Will my US citizenship protect me? Probably. But we all know if he could, he would make criticism of him a crime. Tourism to the US is going to plummet 😳
