Amazon free for two months. We buy less bullshit. The stuff we buy doesn’t break. We shop local and it’s given us an excuse to get out and explore our community. We’ve met new people and found really wonderful local businesses. You don’t need Amazon. Not just for a day- you don’t need it at all.

There is no "waiver" to the trans military ban. The only waiver is for people who have NEVER attempted to transition, who have remained closeted, and will continue to remain closeted. That's not a waiver for trans people in the military. It's a waiver for people who are suspected of being trans.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Everything in this thread. I don't know how much these efforts are in effect yet, but you should expect them as the Trump II admin increasingly uses police action to target and quell resistance. We're already seeing this targeting with immigrant aid.

Dear younger trans people. I started transitioning at age 46 and will be turning 53 in a few months. There may be grey in my hair, but there is so much joy in my heart. I love myself more than I ever have at any other time in my life. You can be an older trans person too. You can make it. 💚🏳️‍⚧️

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

"GET BEHIND ME!" Transphobia is now government policy and all queer people are in danger. To young trans people, I wanna reassure you that not every adult has gone mad and many of us have your back. We'll be fighting to the bitter end for a just world. THE FIRST PRIDE WAS A RIOT AND WE FIGHT BACK.

hey, as an fyi to folks living in pa: this bill, SB.213, was introduced to the PA senate on Feb. 4th. Please be vocal about opposition and make it known that we won't stand for it. If you're any shred of an ally, especially cis people, fucking speak up.

I really really need you guys to make a conscious rejection of generative AI tools part of your ongoing political resistance. Don't use ChatGPT. Turn off Gemini. Don't read the AI results forced upon you at the top of Google search. Don't use AI art generators or support anyone who does. Please.

Just a reminder: Seattle has until this Tuesday (Feb 11th) to turn in ballots that can both hit the wealthy where it hurts while also building the long term public-housing-for-all we've been waiting for. Please vote Yes on 1A, please tell your Seattle friends- turnout is only 15% right now.

Another ironic thing about the Trumpers is that my mom, a nice cishet middle class white lady, has gone from quiet and fairly apolitical to calling me up to say "I'm using all my privileges to organize and fight for every cause you believe in," and she is getting LOUD.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

This has game-changing potential, though it's still limited to browsers and iOS/Android devices WITH A NOTABLE CAVEAT: if a publisher has gotten right with Jesus and makes their books DRM-free, you can easily download and transfer those books to anything (I suggest a Kobo).

Some ideas about how to resist creeping authoritarianism: - find joy in your community - engage in mutual aid - be sure to get enough sleep, water, and calories - move your body in ways that please you - support independent media and artists (and make your own!) - use cynicism sparingly - pets

Do something kind for yourself no matter how small once a day. It doesn’t have to be big, it doesn’t have to be bombastic. It can be as much a smelling a flower, taking a bath, dreaming, writing/drawing, or sitting in silence to detox — but no matter what happens: Do. Something. Kind. For yourself.
