To hell with surveillance & compulsory transparency - I just want the right to opacity. Let me be illegible!

My lips? Flaming.

"Batter my heart, transgender’d god, for yours/is the only ear that hears" Thank you @badinfinity2.bsky.social for the lovely book & the kind note. It truly couldn't have come at a better time - the prior auth for my hysterectomy was just approved! I love trans community so dearly.

This is the only masculine energy I'm interested in.

Excellent mail day

This isn’t fierce. It isn’t fire. It’s just a different brand of cissexism that repackages the abjection of transness as a judgment based in reason. And as @jlsmilges.bsky.social says, “Reason. A word I thought meant truth but have since come to realize is just what others expect you to endure.”

The WVGOP's House Resolution 6 falsely labels "transgenderism" a mental disorder, citing God and the Bible. Though non-binding, this resolution makes their intent clear: to erase trans West Virginians. We have always existed - and will outlive this disgraceful government.

The "boring stuff" is important too.

what are egg prices doing to egg punk in this essay i will

Cis people, there is no such thing as a “trans debate”. Trans people exist. What you’re really debating is whether you want to treat trans people like people or not. Trans people are wonderful & deserve to exist freely. Both things will always be true whether you decide to love them or not.

cool cool cool cool cool no doubt no doubt no doubt

mentioning Deleuze, Debord, and Bataille in the same essay is formally known as the Groundhog Trifecta because the reader can be pretty sure they’ve already read this essay at least once

Finally got booted from a local therapist fb group for laugh reacting to a post suggesting we "stop bringing politics into therapy" & remove words like queer & transgender from marketing materials bc "they never should of [sic] been there in the first place." May have also called op a slimy fascist.

pov you see me rolling up to the taco bell drive-thru for the second time in a week

StopRFKjr.com is a simple link you can send to your friends, family, colleagues that makes it incredibly easy for them to call their U.S. Senators and tell them to oppose the disastrous nomination of RFK Jr to run all federal health programs. Please share StopRFKjr.com as widely as you can

Bleary-eyed this morning because last night I had a troche & stayed up too late eating Girl Scout cookies & watching videos about Minnie Black's Gourd String Band. t.ly/yB58A

Me to clients today: "Self-preservation & connection to community are more important than ever." Also me: *doomscrolling/crying & eating cold potato wedges for dinner alone at 10PM while trying to stave off a migraine, pawing at eyelid eczema, & hoping 0 of 3 cold sore patches break open again* 👍🏻👍🏻

My late clodhopper Appalachian grandpa would say Fetterman ain't no account, just 'bout as useful as tits on a bull. He ain't got the sense god gave a goose.

Of all the characters that could've been accidentally beamed to the "Trans Francisco" tube in the Mission District, the writers chose Jadzia Dax, the character with the arguably trans allegorical backstory.

Star Trek proves increasingly relevant to our current time. With the barrage of news, I'm drawn to something Picard says in TNG S4E21 The Drumhead: "With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

We're going to make it through this 🩷💙 Let's turn our fear and rage into community action.

I recently consulted on a friend's project that feels increasingly important & urgent. This is a *FREE* guide that offers practical & thorough rapid-response support around creating all-gender restroom access in the workplace. Please feel free to share & distribute! tinyurl.com/restroomguide

Some of you have broken bread with an abusive relative far too many times, and it really shows.

This is an extended period of cold, with many places not making it above ~10°F three days in a row. Prepare now and remember to protect the "4 Ps": People, Pets, Pipes, and Plants.
