you can really tell who’s never worked in the service industry based on who romanticizes the concept of the Small Business lol

idk how people manage juggling multiple online identities. I have accounts for personal stuff, personal stuff (legacy deadname), work, side-hustle, music, and a secret thing not many people know about that I’ll share at some point when I’m ready ✨

Everyone talks about the top shortage, no-one talks about all the self-described tops that suddenly become bottoms when it comes down to it

This is sad news. I’m currently re-watching Buffy and have been appreciating her acting in a way I didn’t first time round. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

It's been so run through pop culture as to seem almost corny, but I need you all to understand with the deepest seriousness available to you that the "First they came for..." thing was to prepare you for this exact moment

I got an invite to the Trans Erotica Awards in a couple of weeks and I’m excited but also nervous about dragging my 40 year old non-passing ass down the red carpet surrounded by dolls half my age with a bunch of surgeries under their belts, but fuck it, we ball.

When I’m a famous songwriter and people ask me what my influences are I’m just gonna say the musical episode of Buffy and leave it at that

1) Changing your sex is the ultimate high-agency move. No one stumbles into transition. You have to want this. You have to fight for it. And in the process, you learn something dangerous: You learn that you can just do things. 🧵

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

This should be exceedingly obvious, but when Stonewall stays up while references to trans people come down, they will measure the silence of cisgender people as concurrence for whatever they plan next, and it still won't protect you in the end. So please get loud. Our mutual survival depends on it.

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

Queer history can not and should not be erased. We need to remember the generations whose shoulders we stand on💔

The National Park Service has removed "T" and all mention of transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument. Trans women were some of the most influential activists behind the Stonewall movement and what followed. 3 articles of clothing laws were why raids happened. Erasure.

Stressful day driving a van in high winds and heavy rain while helping a friend move, but I absolutely killed my voice lesson, so I'm feeling good about myself 💪

Oh my god. They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service. "Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights" WOW.

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+". The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history. This pride, we riot.

So now we're getting to the heart of it. Maxine Waters says he wants to build a battery factory, but doesn't want the 30% black workers required by law in South Africa. It's all coming together. fortune.com/2024/12/30/e...

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

People always talking like trans women are failed men. I didn't drop out of being a man, I graduated.

Kind of a crappy day but I got to cycle Great Highway Park in glorious weather so that's something. Absolute gem, making that permanent is one of the best things we've done as a city in recent times.

I can’t even begin to describe the sheer heartbreak I feel reading this. We need to give trans youth a future.
