Its wild how much I miss this house despite all its issues. I miss my neighbors and folks Id see regularly, the delicious taco stand nearby, the backyard I felt so comfortable in and the gardens we'd grow every year. Its dizzying to remember it doesn't exist anymore. I can never go back home there.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #55234567: You don’t have to write for a living to be a writer. You don’t have to be a great writer to be a writer. You don’t have to write full time to be a writer. All you have to do is write.

Not fond of having to do this but circumstances have forced my hand. I need to make my way back to England and I need help to do it. Any small amount would be greatly appreciated, flights and shipping and meds are expensive. gofund.me/9263d573

Right, you fucks, if you live in the UK sign this. If you don’t live in the UK share it as some of your followers might and they should sign this.

This is a reason disability doulas are so important. Because grief and frustration and being angry and processing all that is important and it's not the only thing and how each of us are affected or can help each other navigate that is so very personal.

I'd also like to add, if someone has certain words muted for whatever reason, using alt text also helps to make sure images are being muted as well.

#artAltText doesn't have to be super long to give a similar experience to viewing. This is a wonderful example of being succinct yet complete.

After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false. www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/new-...

If Alice were alive today, she’d have waited 5 years, 5 months and 5 days for her first GIC appointment, with still several years to wait. I’m off to London today to record a podcast about the wait, and what it did to Alice. What it says to me about government attitudes to trans lives. Wish me luck.

Exciting updates on this project! Having hit the original goal, we have now recruited a second trainee electrolysist. So we're raising a bit more money for her. Both will start training very soon. The gofundme page is back open, and we're running a fundraiser gig at Mono, Glasgow on 13 Feb!

Sometimes people don’t know why words they’re being asked to not use are horrific. Ableist terms in particular often seem harmless because they come from clinical settings. That context makes them much worse, actually! Y’all will watch horror movies about asylums. You think they were nice?

living is an act of protest. continuing is an act of spite to those who want me dead. i have to keep telling myself this.

To those who came before us, to those who made it through. I’m glad, but please, understand this: Your siblings will not experience what you did, they will not be seen. Understand what that means for our responsibilities to each other if we are to live. Muck in.

Again. For the beautiful people in the back row. Links don't belong in alt text. They aren't clickable, just like they aren't clickable from the photo. You can say "A link for Give Amy Money dot com" and that works just fine.
