3) Have fun. This is the hardest piece of advice in my experience, but it's also the most important. Man can't live on bread alone, and you can't live on righteous indignation and fury and anxious fear and a sense of obligation. See movies, go to clubs, take hikes, fucking ride the bus!

*You* control *your feelings*, don't let *your feelings* control *you*. 2) Pull your horizons in a bit. Vote blue no matter who, show up to the big marches and the small ones if you can too. But focus on what you can do *here*, *now*, to make things better.

1) Don't panic, don't rage, don't despair. Feel your feelings, sure, but go scream at the sky or get drunk or make very angry paintings you sell for $10 on the street or something. The only people who benefit from you letting your resolve break are your enemies.

I have had at least three people tell me that I'm "vote-shaming" or that the Democrats have to "earn their vote" and no, I am sorry, I am not your mommy, I do not have to persuade you to eat your vegetables by pretending they're an aeroplane.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Look, if a hot dog a day isn't "normal" or "healthy" and I should eat "holy shit way less than that what the fuck" then I just don't know what else I have to live for in this world. 🤷‍♀️

Something I was recently taught about our "grandparents who fought fascism" - First, they didn't have 24-hour news. Their news was still at the movie theater. They went once...a week? Maybe? To see what was going on. 2nd, WW2 wasn't in their history books. It was still making history. 1/

Are tech bros selling AI art on the blockchain yet? Have we come full circle?

Spending time in a room with a bunch of affluent middle aged (or older) white men is a trip. I used to thrive in these environments. I still do, but in a very different way. I still get along with these people. But for a very different reason.

I want to smell the trump cologne just once ahead of time so I can recognize who to stay away from going forward.

News: The most recent GOP reconciliation bill no longer has the provision to ban Medicaid from being used on gender-affirming care The parliamentarian had disqualified the provision, but Republicans had left it on the text — it now has been removed

This is so incredibly "Wall-E." I like booking vacations. It's part of the fun! I like picking my outfits. Then I have something to be proud of! I do hate applying for jobs. But even job listings are wildly wrong about what they want, so why would I trust automation?

HEY I THINK WE SHOULD STOP USING "BREAKING" AS A JOKE IT GIVES ME A HEART ATTACK EVERY TIME AS I EXPECT TO BE LOSING ANOTHER RIGHT

This bill is a true nightmare - ICE given endless resources to kidnap and imprison, guts Medicaid, thousands of deaths, destroys green energy - call your senator right now and tell them you do not want this bill, ESPECIALLY if they’re a Republican. Senate switchboard - (202) 224-3121

wild how Dems are like "well, we have to throw trans people under the bus, it polls well!" then when you point out that medicare for all and ending arms sales to Israel over their genocide polls even better, they'll go "um, no. we can't do those, because reasons"

"Please can someone speak up for us............" "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends," MLKjnr And that silence is frankly, quite deafening.........

Wyden, the top Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, says Democrats will raise a point of order to strip the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care in OBBB: "this is a private choice for adults. It should belong to them."

I actually appreciate this take. Things are scary right now but we have to keep fighting and we'll survive.

It kinda feels like the news media and pundits are just learning about project 2025? And it's really weird watching them reconcile with it and talk about it like we didn't all see the document?

"This is side one. Flip me over." -me to my gf in the bedroom

Kinda feel like we should be a little louder rn about the whole "500,000 legal immigrants lose their legal status bc fascism."

"Without the votes to convict, impeachment is just theater!" Then it's showtime. A day long filibuster is also theater and we stopped hating that guy. Civil disobedience is theater. That's kinda the point of it. That something is mostly for show doesn't mean it's useless.

Protect the dolls

I'm simultaneously frustrated and envious when a trans person makes a post about their meds/care/coverage/whatever being discontinued. Idk how you can be so unaware of what's happening right now. But I also wish I could choose to be that unaware so I could live with less stress...

I gatekeep pansexuality bc too many people use it as "straight + trans girls." I also gatekeep gates.

Ok, so I'll be hosting the first meeting for the Total Implementation of Trans Sharia (TITS). Can I get a headcount of who will be joining? All supporters welcome!

The GCs have outed Mary-Ann Stephenson as a “gender-critical”. They have also praised Starmer for choosing her. This individual is consequently completely unsuited to being head of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission.

OH MY GOD ARE WE DOING THIS?? GIRLS, SHAMPOO AND CONDITION YOUR HAIR! USE LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER SOME DAYS! AND BRUSH IT OMG AND ACTUALLY YOU DO NEED A TRIM EVEN IF YOURE GROWING IT OUT STILL IF I SEE ONE MORE TRANS GIRL WITH RATTY HAIR AND SPLIT ENDS IM GONNA SCREAM

If I told 12 year old me I'd get to have lesbian sex one day, She'd be really confused why an adult was talking to her about sex.

I'm a simple girl. I want simple things. Like whitefish salad on my bagel. Simple things.

I know AI assisted autocorrect has been a thing for a bit now but we need to acknowledge that it has made autocorrect WAY worse. It will correct to words that are completely wrong, change words that are right, and not even acknowledge words that are lesser-used. I hate it so much.

If we hit our goal ($50k to go!) by Sunday night, we’ll make merch of me flipping off a transphobe. Do your part here: secure.actblue.com/donate/abu-b...

HGTV has dumped every single show and host who is not white and straight. I'm not even kidding. This is not a joke. They completely went full-on white supremacist.

HUGE NEWS: The Senate Parliamentarian has struck the ban on Medicaid dollars for gender-affirming care trans people from the One Big Beautiful Bill! www.budget.senate.gov/ranking-memb...

Hey all, qq about transition: How long and how much money does it take for a complete transition? Thanks!

Don't link to the NYT. Don't play wordle or connections. Don't reference the NYT. Don't subscribe to the NYT. They are directly responsible for the trans genocide. Cut off their income. Now.

Work should start at 10 and end at 4 with a mandatory 1 hour lunch. I want to eat breakfast, go on a walk, and cuddle with my gf before even taking a shower. Capitalism is cramping my style.

OH GOD I EXIST AT THE INTERSECTION OF TRANSMED AND TRANSTRENDER DISCOURSE AND I'M NOT CAPABLE OF STRADDLING THE LINE IN A HEALTHY WAY I wanna leave both communities without losing connections from either! Fuckkkkk

he's right and he's right to say it

I'm still pissed we didn't get taco trucks on every corner. I fucking love tacos. What asshole doesn't love tacos?
