sometimes when I think about everything I gave up to come out I feel extremely sad. not sad that I transitioned, but that the cost was so high. as the man said: you'll suffer most for your virtues

the good news about being tough & brave is that when you are so very tired of being those things, you can stop—but things will keep happening to you & you'll just keep breathing & they'll still call you so tough & so brave

bullying white belts is an important formative experience for them: one of them came up to me last night and was like, I totally get you now, I just brutalized someone who sucks more than me & it felt amazing

side control is a great position except for all the ways it is a stupid position & my job as a jiujitsu coach is to show you every single way your side control is stupid by tapping you out while you're pinning me until you want to yeet me across the room.

You’re not imagining things—the plums that were in your icebox are *completely gone*. Here’s why that’s bad news: • They were *your plums*, that you were saving for breakfast. That makes this personal for you. • They were *sweet*, so whoever ate them *enjoyed* them. That’s unforgivable.

New research confirms what many of us see: there's a large internal migration of LGBTQ people in the US, especially trans people, to friendlier states & cities. Since 11/2024, 9% of all trans people have moved to another state, 43% have considered moving. www.mapresearch.org/2025-norc-su...

here’s this letter from an allied soldier describing what he saw at the buchenwald camp after it was liberated. notable especially is the editor’s note, referring to the normalcy bias still in play at the time — and how people still disbelieved the truth and horrors of the camps due to that bias.

we are all very mad at you dude

but to see a woman say with kindness "I'm not mad at you" before being murdered by state authorities, who have now gone on to claim her killing was just and right, and we're here making the case she was acting with righteousness and killed unjustly this is just Martyrdom

Like the bible says: live by the sword, no worries

this has been brewing for years & we've been saying as much for years only to be dismissed over & over as paranoid, hysterical, alarmist, or as somehow unfaithful witnesses to our own lived experiences. they want us all dead. they will try to kill as many of us as they can get away with.

I could be better than I am, if I had taken a different path, but now my life is pointing me back to the mat in a serious way

you know a big issue is people want to avoid feeling distressed. they want good vibes. they "have enough going on." so they tune out. that's a bigger obstacle than the overtly evil
