Hustle culture makes me feel proud and awkward when I'm complemented on my bag. I'm proud to be able to say I made it, but always feel a little awkward when they ask about my store. There is no store, I make things for myself and friends. You can have non-monetary hobbies.

It's amazing how often people forget the "or user" part of Section 230. Without that, it would be "the 24 words" not "the 26 words."

I'm not even upset, but I am always amazed when people reply to an email and misspell my name (name is correctly spelled in address).

Given Chaos, I don’t expect anyone to notice the hearing for head of Federal Housing Finance Agency. But FHFA is one of the most consequential agencies that most folks have never heard of. And chief on its agenda will be full privatization of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. Here’s why that’s very bad. 1/5

They want to sexually harass children because to them, that's better than a child being trans.

I like that pronoun and pronouns are in the list. Full names from now on. Come on press, start shouting down Trump every time he uses we, me, I and they. I’m excited to hear about the new English gymnastics elementary teachers will need to perform.

It is so 2025 that a film with a trans storyline that the trans community fucking despises wins some of the most prestigious film awards in the world and the cisgender winners don’t even mention what’s happening to the trans community in the very country they’re accepting the awards in

Surprise, surprise Project 2025 is going to allow blocking and banning of the internet. Of course it will be LGBTQIA+ content. It will be anything that celebrates diversity. It will be anything that allows people to complain about the government.

We also know that eventually (and, sadly, probably sooner than later) a national total ban will be coming, too. Scary fucking times.

Notice the wording and the push to ban and criminalize just being around LGBTQIA+

1. Why are you trying to come to the USA right now? 2. Boycott the heck out of us. 3. If you are trans, definitely stay away, and if you're a USA citizen make plans to not return if you leave the nation. 😞

So Iowa is fast tracking the following bill that basically removes every acknowledgement of gender and says you are screwed if you are intersexed and operated on at birth www.legis.iowa.gov/legislation/... If you are in Iowa please call your reps and try and block this bill.

I have decided that I am blocking anyone whose main posting page is mainly reposts, especially without any extra commentary. I'm guessing they are bots.

Well, HRC went and truly showed they didn't really change from the 90's. 😡 It didn't work in the 90's, it definitely won't save the org in the coming political leadership.

Oh weird, in a good way, voice training experience. I did a little recording and listening to see if I am performing the next lesson correctly. I heard my mother and sister. Just momentarily, but it was there.

Someone on Facebook asked advice for a coverup tattoo for a Gaiman quote (and fair enough!) and a tattoo artist got chatting and said they do so many HP coverups these days too. That made me very happy. Then they said: "I donate the money from hp coverups to trans advocacy groups" and I got happier.

The worst thing about voice training, so far, when being a quiet introvert, is figuring out what inane sentences and misc bs to spout to allow practice. Small talk is mentally my kryptonite.

If you are not the correct type of white cisgender male, you should be out building local community. You should be figuring out how your community is going fight back. Not just for your community but for all the other communities as well. They are coming for us all.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

The point of the firehose of Executive Orders is to disorient and to demobilize. It's to instill maximum fear. If we know this, then that's already half the battle. This means that we have to respond with focus on those most vulnerable & targets. It means we have to refuse their attempt to scare us.
