New normal

Remembering all that “Biden shouldn’t have promised to forgive students loan if the courts were just gonna block it” hoopla. Seems so f-ing ridiculously petty and clueless right now.

I’m not wasting energy correcting anyone who wants to blame plane crashes and egg and gas prices on Trump even though it’s stupid and even though I wish we cared about the real fucked up shit that should matter more. What’s the harm in democrats riding the rage waves of popular stupidity?

There’s needs to be a Church of Bodily Autonomy

I experience a virtual “gay bashing” online on pretty much a daily basis. I can’t imagine what out trans folks are experiencing. Trans people are some of strongest people I know.

1) Super hero movies 2) Royal babies 3) Board shorts 4) Nevadans complaining about Californians 5) People who hike in groups

If you think reflexively taking the opposite position of Trump is going to be a sufficient way to create and win an alternate vision for our country, you are sorely mistaken. This especially true when doing so requires us to reverse positions we’ve been preaching for decades.

Empowered idiots

this stuff makes perfect sense when you understand that these people have a slaveholder’s ideology and believe that liberty means the freedom to dominate others

Vulnerable, queer children are targeted by predators precisely because their own churches, families, schools, and now, government cares very little about their well being.

You can try to shame them for the hollowness of their religious beliefs, but the truth is they have no shame, and their version of religion is the source of their sense of superiority and belief in their god-given dominion over all others and the earth.

Gender and sexuality are inseparable and the oppression of gays/lesbians/bis and trans folks are inherently linked. If you have queer sexuality, you are also under attack because people think you do your gender wrong; the same people hate us because of the gender of our sexual/romantic partners.
