remember when america was so scared of communism they added “under god” to the pledge of allegiance what a little bitch move

i think about this post pretty much every day

BLUE VENUS

16/60 WHILE WE STILL HAVE IT Any questions about whether I am a girl or a boy, I pivot to dinosaur fossils. Dinosaurs, we can almost never tell their sex. That level of detail is hard to preserve in the fossil record. For 99% of dinosaurs, we have no idea. jtierney.net/#while-we-still-have-it

12/60 KLEPTOPARASITISM, DEFINED Kleptoparasitism describes the foraging strategy where early humans or hominids acquired food by stealing kills from other carnivores, rather than hunting, as a high-reward, low-risk survival tactic. jtierney.net#kleptoparasi...

DINOSAURS ARE COOL TRANSPHOBIA IS NOT

this is really a summer of insane metafictional cross-genre trans art projects. The fact Plastic Prism Void is out in the same summer @jordantyranny.bsky.social put up jtierney.net and @amabel.bsky.social did Swords Against (hollandspiele.com)... like, what are they putting in those hormones?

4/60 RAINY DAY IN AN AMPHIBIOUS HOUSE Home is where the moat won’t show. Between gills and lungs, a new language tries to hatch. How to adapt. How to collapse. jtierney.net#rainy-day-in...

3/60 A HUNGER ARTIST (BEGIN/END) It does not take ambition or desire. It’s not a matter of ability or practice or training. It’s not even about art really. It’s not a performance. It is the inability to find a single thing you ever wanted to eat. jtierney.net#a-hunger-art...

2/60 ON THE EMBARRASSMENT OF AUTOBIOGRAPHY “5’3. Pretty messy. Does not modulate voice. Satisfactory appearance." That's what I wrote. That was my whole autobiography. Constant doubt. Distrust. Distance. Could I ever really look like a woman to you? I never know. jtierney.net#on-the-embar...

1/60 WHO INVENTED THE AFTERLIFE AND WHY? “Carrot and stick. Dying and returning cycles. Yearning for justice. Hard-wired into us?” The carnival moves from town to town. The dead are always hiring. jtierney.net#who-invented...

WE’LL BE LESS ACTIVIST IF YOU BE LESS SHIT

“Hypernormalization describes a state where a false, simplified, or surreal version of reality becomes so accepted as normal that people lose the ability or will to challenge it, even when aware of its untruth, often due to systemic inertia or lack of alternatives.”

be careful who you invite to your holiday party!!!

⚧️ RADICAL TRANS IDEOLOGY ⚧️

treat yo self!!!

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

FINDS THEM AND KILLS THEM "Finds Them and Kills Them (Osh-Tisch) looked like a man, but wore women's clothing and had the heart of a woman.... she was brave and good." ― Pretty Shield Her strength as a warrior is what earned her the name Osh-Tisch, which translates to “finds them and kills them."

"Ballerina Aesha Ash wandering around inner city Rochester breaking the stereotypes about women of color and to inspire young kids."

EXPLOSION GANG!!!

it's important to have role models!!!

This pic is from a paleontology book that came out in the early 1980s. I had it when I was a little boy in NH. I remember seeing this woman and thinking thats who I wanna be when I grow up. She gets to study dinosaurs!! Just found a copy of the book at the museum and it feels surreal. We win! 🦖💖🦕

TRUE TRANS TIMELINE

“The law of evolution is that the strongest survives!" 'Yes, and the strongest, in the existence of any social species, are those who are most social. In human terms, most ethical... There is no strength to be gained from hurting one another. Only weakness." ― Ursula K. Le Guin

TRANS VS THE WORLD

hi from jordan world!

WORKING CLASS UNITE!

"That's all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don't know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won't matter if we don't survive these times." Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower (Earthseed, #1)
