well, Season 3 Episode 1 of Shrinking just absolutely destroyed me. was not counting on that!

i no longer use FB and think it is an abomination but this video is so spectacular! www.facebook.com/reel/1555477...

i would like to fill the next four days with goodness, relaxation, joy, wonder, creative endeavors, time with people who matter, and a bit of planning (to get it to where that is how i can spend more of my days....)

1776-2026: The Moments That Defined Trans Rights in America www.unclosetedmedia.... #transgender #trans #LGBTQ #LGBTQIA

one hour of work to go until a four-day weekend. so close!

every single person who can needs to be speaking out about the atrocities being perpetrated by this administration. this is quite impressive.

Timely heat wave reminder that if you have a car, is not expensive to get a 24 pack of supermarket brand bottled water and keep it in your trunk and pull over to offer it to people who look like they are having a hard fucking time. Helping also makes you feel a little less helpless

"Too often, gender fluidity is thought of as a “new” or even “Western” phenomenon. However, the reality is that countless cultures around the world have traditions and histories beyond the gender binary." The collaborative article for our #Pride 🏳️‍🌈 Spotlight~ globalvoices.org/2026/07/01/b...

A pox on every single transphobe, especially those with the political and social power to make people’s lives better or worse who decide: hm, let’s go with WORSE. This includes not only rabid rightwingers, but also ostensible allies who cannot wait to sell out our trans brothers and sisters. POX!!

please help if you can!

if you're not on the side of trans girls being allowed to play sports with the other girls, you're on the side of the adult men who want to inspect your daughters' genitals. there is no other position that can be taken here.

“Fundamental science, the argument goes, is a luxury that becomes dispensable when budgets are tight. This premise is wrong, and the consequences of acting on it are already visible.” 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s42...

💯 if you aren’t hurting anyone by living your life as you are, loving who you want to, being uniquely YOU, then they can and should just leave you TF alone.

"It's just sports," "It will only affect a few people," & "It'll also be used against cis women" are, IMHO, all equally not-great takes on today's SCOTUS ruling, just different angles. The Supreme Court ruled it's okay to discriminate against a certain class of people. Full stop. That is a horror.

Police brutality by SFPD over the weekend led to the arrests and injury of dozens of trans people in San Francisco. Donate to help with their medical and legal fees here: www.gofundme.com/f/support-tr...

i'm seeing far too many posts saying some variation of "this is bad for trans people, but ..." and going on to talk about how it affects another group. no. this is bad for trans people. full stop. it may be bad for others also but why can't that be its own conversation? i fully recognize i am 1/

do the thing!

"One can make a compelling case that the U.S. Constitution has failed at fostering a healthy, functional democracy. Of course, we shouldn’t be particularly surprised about this, since it was never intended to do so." @thebugbeardispatch.bsky.social

Greed puts out the sun.

I have not eaten since Sunday. My current household is just me and 2 young kids. I am sole caregiver and adult and already have frequent fainting spells because of POTS. Need 40 ASAP for food, me being unable to stop passing out is dangerous for everyone.

#AICouldNever I needed something uplifting to make me smile today, so I hope this delightful ensemble work by young people also makes you smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPr_...

If you are trans and are raising money for your own needs, post the link below and I will share. If you are cis, choose one to donate to and share this thread.

we have 3 months to launch a nonprofit that gives assault rifles to trans children. trust me, this worked on Reagan

In response to SCOTUS's incensing ruling on their Title IX case handed down today, have a new (well, unpublished, I wrote it last year) angry trans poem from me: Read "In What Voices Will We Speak, Disinterred?" at the link: kayaskovdatter.wordpress.com/2026/06/30/n...

trans rights are human rights and nothing will change that, no matter what a bunch of unelected law wizards and bigoted legislators say

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

Today is a particularly good day to donate money and/or time directly to trans people in need or to trans-led groups. Here's one great list of trans-led groups around the US: www.autostraddle.com/this-trans-d...

Another good list: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...

If you want to support individual trans people in need, you can find them through hashtags such as #TransCrowdfund and #TransMA.

If you're cis and mad about the anti-trans Supreme Court ruling today, consider helping a trans person get the equipment they need to take their meds: www.omprakash.org/global/distr...

Help someone save their game

Welcome to #TransTuesday! The commodification of trans rights under capitalism has been complicated and awful, but things recently took a nosedive… by removing that commodification entirely. Let’s talk RAINBOW CAPITALISM 2: FROM BAD TO WORSE. (the news is bad today, but there is hope within!)

On the last day of Pride Month, the Supreme Court has voted to allow states to bar transgender athletes from playing girls’ sports. Their stated goal is to deny constitutional protections for trans people, and this is just another box to check on their list.

Here's why you should care about the trans athletes case today: Because if discrimination on the basis of gender identity doesn't violate equal protection, trans people can be segregated, outed, denied medical care, denied housing, denied jobs, and excluded by the government.

The other day, I stumbled across a t-shirt that said "the trans agenda is an average lifespan," and boy, if that doesn't sum up a lot.

love to my trans friends. fuck SCOTUS.

history will remember the people who decided that trans folks were at the root of all of their problems it will judge them harshly, and they deserve it

expand the court. no more half measures. this is intolerable.

I prefer to save talking till I know what I’m talking about.

it has been a very emotionally draining day on four different fronts now. that's at least three too many.

🏳️‍🌈 This Pride month & always, remember the T in LGBTQ. Our guide connects criminalization of gender-affirming care to wider policing & punishment, & how to fight back. ➡️ bit.ly/ICtransyouth When trans people are targeted, it reinforces systems that harm us all. 🏳️‍⚧️Trans rights are human rights!🏳️‍⚧️

i'm glad for being able to notice when the things i'm thinking are juat thoughts and i don't have to accept them as fact. doesn't make some of them suck any less. but doesn't perpetuate the problem like believing them would.

when the people i love are hurting, i want to help make the situation better. it sucks when i can't

i am having a thought that i make everyone's life worse and cannot figure out how to make the people i care about happy.
