so instead of letting the GOP strip healthcare from hundreds of thousands of trans people, instead of “menopause…[and] waves of suicides” for no reason other than bigotry, please help trans people try to kill that part of the bill.
there are call/email scripts to personalize in this post.🧵

For Tolkien, good is complex and evil pitiably simple.

The Ents pull a Hercules on Isengard, changing the course of a river to wash the tower of filth as if it was the Augean stables.
Saruman, for all his foresight, was only prepared to battle men; he had not reckoned with also battling myth.

You don't know me, but as someone who's been clinging to silly little guy energy like it's a life preserver, I wish you well and hope things get easier

Grima Wormtongue, in addition to having the best name in a series filled with great names, is making sure Théoden embodies the major theme of the book.
Wormtogue doesn't want Théoden to choose evil, he wants him not to make any choice at all.

Yes, 100%. Setting aside the sheer human impact, it's bad as a matter of public policy; it undermines the rule of law by discouraging compliance.

GIMLI: We're looking for hobbits.
ÉOMER: (spits) Hobbits? I don't reckon I've heard tell of no hobbits.

"They'll be fine without hormones!"
No, they won't. Many trans people can no longer produce their own sex hormones and will develop significant and costly health problems, up to and including premature osteoporosis.
The rest will be tortured by the resurgence of the wrong hormones in their blood.

An Ent can turn into a tree, and a tree can turn into an Ent.
Those who refuse to act can find themselves as part of the scenery, and those whose inner fire burns will always have place in the community.

Alcott didn’t use male pronouns during life, but reading his words I see a mirror of myself, as someone who simply never conceived of such a thing as an option until I’d met other trans men, myself. As such I choose to honor him by referring to him as the man he consistently said he longed to be.
