if i know you irl and you're hitting the streets, hit me up. my usuals are down for the count this week and i need a buddy or four.

now more than ever, remember how vital it is to never leave anyone behind, to lock arms, to stand firm. we cannot stop cops from murdering us but we can stand firm and strong in our love for one another. we are building a new world. they cannot take it from us.

I wish for a world where Minneapolis does not have to repeatedly be a flashpoint for the most grotesque acts of fascist state violence. My heart breaks for the people of a city that deserves more than taxpayer-funded knees on necks and federal bullets through windshields.

ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims. Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

i am begging everyone with the kind of job that provides paid sick leave to not come to work when it’s the new year and your sick leave just reupped, especially if you can work on a ding dang computer GET AWAY FROM ME

in 2026 i will continue to not really use social media because i don't like how it pushes me to feel like i need to "deeply understand things" so i can take a binary side on it so i can maintain the "correct position" (position least likely to result in social ostracization)

he is here and everyone is making out

my no contact mom is a psychic now and also told my sister to tell me that she’s fine with me “being bisexual“ so yeah definitely hire my brilliant psychic mom who is fully abreast of what’s happening for me lmao

it’s a christmas miracle im finally coming off seroquel

"What is Covid-19 if not a harbinger of things to come? The state’s treatment of incarcerated people—where sickness is punishment, and any attempt at survival is met with repression—is a vision of the future that awaits us all under the ongoing conditions of capitalism."

My friend L once gave me an amazing taxonomy of stuff you can offer to do for someone and then of course we both forgot the specifics but it's something like (1) Ease the burden of daily stuff (2) Make time and space (3) Knock off something from 50-100 of their to do list (4) Help them with now

hard to feel any kind of pride amidst the horrors but this article is an encapsulation of my year's work. i am proud of myself for realizing i needed more intensive mental health supports and for leaning into care. i cannot believe i thought i was neurotypical lmao aane.org/autism-info-...

ok question: would you pay a person a SMALL fee to make you a curated map when you're going on a trip? that person would be me, the map would be fully searchable, tailored to your interests and based around each location you're staying. i do this for loved ones and it is my FAVORITE THING

i wanna be hot so bad lmao

"Grieving an estranged mother is unlike other grief. You are not just mourning the relationship you lost - you are mourning the mother you needed but never had. You grieve the possibility that someday she might have seen you without resentment, without conditions, without asking you to disappear."

death in temporary custody (jail or ICE) is exceedingly common and very often, not followed up on. more than half of all jail deaths happen within the first month. if isolated for ICE specifically, I cannot imagine the data.

i think the biggest scam re: having multiple lifelong disabilities and being high masking is that when inevitably your body cant do it anymore, everyone is like “no bro you can you just need to do xyz” because you’re so good at masking it seems like you can

my grandpa was a sail maker and was real good at it, like made sails for princess grace kelly etc and sail making is now on the list of “endangered crafts“ and my lil trans masc ass is like “i wanna make sails so fuckin bad bro“

i do gotta say, the amount of press this year about abusers and specifically the cult of personality around abusers has been ... really healing because i can identify commonalities between the "well-loved" people who harmed me immensely and these "truly evil" "mainstream" abusers, it's sanity giving

i think i am just fundamentally annoyed by take culture which mostly is a me thing which indicates i shouldn't be on social media lmao

trans kids in red states are not ok. you have no fucking idea.

it's really cool that the only actual cure for autistic burnout is to have a large sum of money and no/low responsibilities for a long time, things i will literally never ever get to have.

1000000% - and also consistently results in being punished with adseg (where they are at greater risk of sexual violence by guards & others) when they report sexual violence *by others* against *themselves*

but yeah this is why i'm unfortunately back on this website having takes

we know PREA is not protective of trans people inside and is actually used to harm them. many trans people have written to me over the years because they were in solitary after someone made a PREA complaint against them. this can also be used protectively but it rarely actually shakes out that way.

hey i'm burnt does anyone have resources to share with coworkers etc to dissuade use of AI? i am being asked to do trainings with platforms because it will "aid my work" but i think ... it won't. and having data to support that, particularly in non profit fundraising or development, would be immense

i grew up in rhode island and hung out at brown all the time in the area where the shooting occurred and i feel like everytime there is a shooting in a place i have spent time i feel … sick?

uh watched oliver sacks documentary so i was reading about brains and i have recently been blown away that “aphantasia” or my experience of the world is abnormal and now also this?? i struggle in therapy because i have no clear thru line of memory and i thought normal? aphantasia.com/article/stor...

i sometimes wonder if i'll ever get better after experiencing 2020 to 2024. lately i'm grappling with what feels like the smaller things: reading 1000s of letters from queer and trans people in prison at my job with no support and in fact getting called transphobic and racist when i asked for it.

in therapy i was talking about how now that i’m not masking 24/7 at work i feel like i’m sometimes too blunt and they were like “what’s an example” and i said “i walked into the break room and asked everyone if they got a bonus.” my therapist bit back a giant laugh and was like “v blunt but good“

"The CDC said it was only the fourth reported transplant-transmitted rabies event in the United States since 1978. It noted that the risk for any transplant-transmitted infection, including rabies, is extremely low." i would argue that this happening once is fucking wild and four times is WHAT

i would let greg davies make new holes in me like i'm a fuckin termite mound

i'm fairly certain i have hEDS and was failed by uh the beighton score mostly being for small hypermobile bodies. i need some help finding resources for self management of chronic pain. i throw pain from my feet, knees and back all day everyday and then have restless legs. i'm exhausted lmao

there are people on tiktok who think jeremy allen white is the original singer of “i’m on fire” and

i have revisited this piece again and again over the years and i find that my strongest relationships center on access. ive been blessed to date people who cherish me in my entirety, whether i’m in a physical or emotional flare or just fucking word salad stimming. it is healing to be held.

Posted this on IG for my dear Alice last week. "One of the things I’ll remember most about you was how you gave your love away so freely to those you cared about. You just gave. You just kept showing up and reaching out. You just loved." www.instagram.com/p/DRQk9vhjxO4/

When you feel yourself becoming complacent or surrendering to hopelessness or apathy, remember that everything that exists today exists because someone(s) dreamt it up and decided to put in the work to make it a reality. We can create new ways of doing things, new ways of being, new worlds.
