who’s going to tell fanfic authors that black slacks and black dress shoes and a tucked-in button down in really any color is a tragic look they should not inflict on their blorbos? i do not care how hot your dude is supposed to be, he’s not hot dressed like that.

i’m not ever NOT going to be the guy talking about trans youth suicide, and i think this article gives some pretty good reasons why.

you wake up in the morning and, as you become aware of the feeling of your body, it is there. you lie in bed at night and it's the last thing you feel before sleep. in those moments there are no family, no friends, no community, only you and the way your body feels

Look I don't think a world where trans kids are loved and affirmed and Palestinian kids get all the food they can eat and Black kids get the best education in the world and immigrant kids can be anything they want to be is all that big of an ask tbh

i’m not going to put up my venmo in response to the Supreme Court ruling, because i am not in imminent danger of losing care, and i am not a youth. please consider supporting young people and their families who are trying to get access to transition care. they are in danger now.

they would rather have dead kids than alive kids they can't control

i say this a lot, i feel like, but trans kids are watching and listening to the national conversation and it’s making some of them suicidal. it’s also making some of them dead. i don’t have a solution here. just the observation that every new article by a transphobe may well have a body count.

way less "you're valid without it" and way more "you deserve access to the care you need" is what people need in this moment so if you're doing that first thing uh. kindly shut da fuck up

every june i am reminded my decisions around presentation (boring, boring, and also no more septum ring) and other people’s inability to tell who’s gay without megaphone use will cast me into the “ally” category. big i-was-there-when-it-was-written energy. also how can you NOT read me as gay. smh.

Also: I see a lot of folks using Gandhi's nonviolent opposition as some kind of gotcha over how activism and resistance should work. I can tell they have never read anything the man wrote and are reciting the opinion they were taught from a foggy, half-remembered grammar school lecture.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds. While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

This. I didn't have to be particularly smart or insightful to get my PhD. But I did have to be thorough, and do just insane amounts of reading. To the extent I had any insights, they came from an understanding of that foundation at a level you don't get from review articles, much less a summary.

I object on aesthetic and maybe quasi-moral grounds to language like “devout” and “deeply religious” in this context. If his fanaticism adhered to a different faith, he’d get “fanatic,” “extremist,” “zealot” etc. Perverting the Cross to commit murder exempts you from “devout”

You: spends two minutes plugging prompts into AI & waits an hour for it to come up with answers you aren't capable of verifying. Me: opens a book and spends hours in spiritual communion with a stranger, who may be long dead, using an alchemy of symbolism, memory, & imagination. We are not the same

kinda depressing to see people brag about AI “research” when there are in fact human people thoroughly trained to do research or indeed help others do theirs. it’s me, i am that.

type of financial state where i am telling myself “you don’t really need a phone plan, it’s fine if you can do wi-fi calling” — but do i have a phone number or anything without a phone plan? i do not know. maybe i’ll just stop having a phone. and also go live in a cave.
