No donations yesterday, and the little bit of steam we built up is slipping away with our constant medical expenses! 🏥💨 Severe kidney pain flare this morning reminding me I definitely can't avoid refilling those meds today. 💢😩💢 Anything helps towards escaping homelessness! 🙏💕💸🏳️‍⚧️♿💜🙏

Conservatives being confused that leftists hate liberals more than they do is honestly evergreen.

Make art about it. Make art to process it. Make art to escape it. Make art to protest it. Make art to change it. Make art to grow from it. Make art to recover from it. Make art to understand it. Make art to question it. Just make art about it.

It shouldn't be ciscourse whether or not trans men can be lesbians or not. They are valid. Please read (literally any) queer history and log off. You are recycling ancient Tumblr and its embarrassing.

I cannot truly explain how it feels to have previously been a contributing writer to a paper that has now dedicated itself to destroying my community. I want to say it's weird, or scary. But it's more than that. It's radically destabilizing. My past and present selves don't recognize each other.

...I've been doing this for a few years, and it works. Call me woo woo if you want. I tell the birch trees, the mushrooms, and the crows.

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

hear way too much "well, this technically would fit the definition of the beginning stages of a genocide, but..." stop it. just stop it. stages do not matter. it does not make you sound educated; you sound like a coward. what they are attempting to do to trans people in this country is a genocide.

This isn't just hateful! This is a threat and should be investigated & taken seriously. This type of stuff usually comes just before worsened harassment & violence. 👀

I try not to quote 1984 too often, but I think the Padilla arrest is a good time to do it. We're being told he lunged violently at the stage. He was screaming, he didn't ID himself despite multiple camera angles showing otherwise. Who are you going to believe? The government? Or your own eyes?

Highly recommend cops get a real job instead of just being professional harassers! ❤️ Hope this helps!

I have a local friend who went to "yemen" to retrieve his wife and bring her back here to the states. I have not heard from or of him in 2 mos. I hope you are okay, friend. I miss you & your cat. Bring your wife home safe. ما شاء الله 🙏

A sign of shared collective trauma is that I sort of do feel like 2019 was the last good year, and I also have vivid, clear memories of 2019 sucking so badly. The bar is on the floor.

When I was in elementary school I asked my teacher why trees never learned to walk and she said “because they didn’t need to” and that’s a great answer but it’s not the whole answer but I feel like I’d need a full book-length project to answer it.

"Who's your source" It's always one of my autistic friends with a special interest AND most of the time they also have employment in a relevant field to back it up.
