"Improve writing"? Oh, well, fuck you too, Confluence

Indeed, the changes to my body have 100% changed my phenotype -- y'know, my sex.

Bold of them to say Starmer believes in literally anything

Seeing the new drag ban in TN end up deferred in Senate committees makes me think that I got through, at least in a small way, to its sponsor. Sometimes showing up and talking to people works, especially if you can find even the most tenuous common ground upon which to make an argument

Yes, I know that with three or more examples the correct word is "among" but we need fewer Nazis of all types, including the Grammar Nazis

Between Tumblr, CoSo, Meta, and here, I think my follower is basically always fixed somewhere between 250 and 350 no matter what platform I'm on, and the thought that at most only 350 people can put up with me is very funny to me actually

Yes, you too can be a girl and just look like this

The process for selecting a new Pope:

Progress means that the lives of people you loathe, people who have opposed you every step of the way, will improve. They will not thank you. They will not learn the error of their ways. They will not repent or grovel or beg or plead for forgiveness. Progress means working for that anyway.

People being gleefully, cheerfully, and wealthily evil is one of the best ways they convince average people that they're evil. When they act like the "fat cat" stereotype, it clicks with people how horrible they are

If you can read this thank a chatbot

You can always tell when I'm traveling to see friends, friends+, or comets because my posting rate drops precipitously for a few days

"In any sufficiently large group of trans femmes, you'll have at least three minidisc players, two older ThinkPads, one modded retro console, and at least one weird girl with an imported laptop with impossible specs from a brand no one has ever heard of" #NoContextQuotes

It's cliché to say, "And this is why I'm an outsider running..." But I think we're going to see an increasing number of people asserting themselves in primaries as separate from their local Dem apparatus and who aren't "the same old local politics" because of the party's behavior. I'm one of them.

@goddessblade.bsky.social is an incredible writer who weaves magick with her words. And when I was trying to come out of my egg, she was one of those whose writings about trans people illuminated the realities of my existence. For that, I'm eternally thankful. She's a beacon of hope in this world.

Where this inevitably goes is ICE holds being employed on any citizen the government wants to ensnare or harass, along with abuse of the no-fly list for similar purposes. This is why we absolutely must not give power to detain unchecked by due process.

I looked oblivion in the eye, then decided I would rather live true and free. So threats by weird little unhinged men don't scare me. And I'm not a sitting US Senator with a security detail.

...I need this movie like I need air. A powerful, confident, clever trans woman battling an evil cult with an origin story that includes transition? My egg would have been detonated

Hmm. @katrafiy.bsky.social and @autumnrain.cc , on a scale of "we're fucked" to "we're proper fucked," where do you think shutting down the CVE program and database fall? I lean towards "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die" personally

But how about those egg prices and your 401k, yeah? All that winning. How's it feeling to be winning so much as you watch your transgender friends and neighbors be eliminated?

Conversely, a picture of me in a microskirt with the bottom of my, uh, bottom visible is totally chill according to the mods. (Specifically, it was a microkilt from Versatta Kilts. Go buy Alice's stuff and support a small business owned by a trans woman that makes awesome clothes.)

I lost many people from my life this way. It wasn't necessarily because I transitioned, but rather that the confidence and self-worth that came with transitioning led me to assert the faintest of boundaries and desires, and that was too much. I became inconvenient when I was happy.

The Second Annual TRANScendent Splash Pad Party is coming on June 1 in Memphis! This event is private, family-friendly, and free, and exclusively for transgender and non-binary people (as well as a few invited queer ally guests). For more info: link.lenaforthe901.org/splash25

Anyway, it's important to remember that I look great in a sundress, and that the warmth of the sun is a bringer of hope
