I also have concerns: I'm concerned that press outlets keep pretending like Harris has anything approximating charisma or political maneuverability

As a cis lesbian who cares a lot about this topic I am begging other cis queers to sit and listen Now is not the time to make this about us Self soothe or talk to other cis queers if you want comfort but don't put your emotions onto the shoulders of trans people right now They're carrying enough

Ok my cis friends, we are going to need a lot of you to step the fuck up and fight hard for us www.them.us/story/trump-...

There are days living in this country that make me want to just wrap my wife up in my big Butch arms and disappear

Dear other queer authors: Sapphic describes the relationship, not a character's identity. If you want to write a story about a woman falling in love with a man but the woman is bisxeual, market it as bisexual with a M/F relationship. Marketting it as sapphic is literally asking to upset readers.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

The Abyss is one of my all-time favorite classic sci-fi movies and y'all should give it a watch if you haven't seen it The ocean has always been fascinating especially for it's possibilities Down in the dark With the currents rippling at the edge of your vision You never know what you'll find

The idea that men ruin women is based in patriarchy and funnily enough it shows up as a core feature of a lot of lesbophobia Which always makes it pretty disappointing when lesbians perpetuate it

The fact that this could apply to multiple discourses even just within the last week truly proves the point

According to a new report just released, every shooter in history has had some form of relationship with a cis person. Every one! Not a single exception! It's really making me wonder why we aren't doing something to make everyone safer from this epidemic of cis violence.

"How dare you not condemn political violence" Screams the people infamous for enacting violence through politics

Reasons I love my wife #67

From ‘The Onion’ Editorial Board: It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible https://theonion.com/it-is-journalism-s-sacred-duty-to-endanger-the-lives-of-1850126997/

The Social Contract model I think is an excellent way to reframe conversations about what is "right" Bc when someone breaks a social contract it is not hypocritical to no longer apply it's protections to them It results in less pearl clutching over bigots getting their comeuppance

You don't have to say a person was nice just because they have died. If someone was evil, they were evil. Dying doesn't make someone a good person automatically.

When a group uses violence as a means to grab power they often have to continually use violence to maintain their power and we see this modeled in all systemic oppression Without a threat they can't back up their beliefs bc their beliefs are I should have more than you

Just a random thought but I do love when the consequences of someone's actions and the ultimate expressions of their values and ethics finally catch up to them It's poetic

As someone who has been looking for work can confirm that this is a huge issue between this and AI being used for assessing candidates the job market is pretty damn bleak It's harder and harder to find work if you don't have an in with an management level employee of the company It sucks so much

shit should be illegal and we should be naming and shaming companies that do this.

@massgovernor.bsky.social Massachusetts needs to fight this with everything we have. Governor Healey you did amazing work protecting our access to covid vaccines and nows your chance to stand up again for our right not only to healthcare but self determination and equality 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights 🏳️‍⚧️

If this sort of language is included in the senate version of this, Democrats have an obligation to filibuster it. This provision would be absolutely massive and hurt trans people of all ages.

TBH it's pretty hard to take the notion of "binary privilege" seriously when my personal experience of coming out included a full year of other queer and trans people being explicitly and vocally disappointed that I was "just" a trans woman, like it was the most disappointing outcome possible.

It's never not funny to me when people read my wife and I as a C4T couple, but get who is C and who is T entirely wrong.

I'm 100% being an asshole but every time I see someone foaming at the mouth for the glorious bloody revolution that they think is the only solution for our country I'm commenting back Stop fantasizing about killing people

I was still hopeful I would be able to launch my small art business even after the initial wave of tariffs but this was the final nail in the coffin How can I get affordable materials or charge an affordable rate under these conditions? I can't

My wife asked for euphemisms for oil and the first thing out of my mouth was... Nature's slickness

Elon Musk is engaged in open chemical warfare and killing the people of Memphis and don't let people tell you this isn't a race thing. a white South African dumping toxic gasses onto a majority Black city isn't something that is happening by coincidence

I think sometimes when people first meet me irl they'd classify me as a golden retriever type of lesbian This is incorrect If I was any dog breed it would be a Mastiff Bc yeah I'm pretty chill and very friendly But fuck with my family and I'll crush your skull between my teeth without a thought

The reasons I post pretty openly about my kinks is the same reason I post pretty openly about my feelings (no matter how cringe they appear) is real feelings and openness and compassion and genuine connection and enthusiasm are bigger weapons against fascists than coolly detached irony ever was

I read a study a long time ago about the prevalence of dyspareunia (painful vaginal sex) in Christian homes and a huge part of the findings were that not being given adequate sex ed and being raised in the cultural expectation that your job as wife was to provide sex made dyspareunia highly likely

PSA: Never assume your pets "know better" when it comes to hazards (Nothing happened to our family) It's really easy to personify our pets and assume they understand more about the dangers in our world than they actually do Keep your pets safe Assume they will do the dumbest thing possible

Was reminded today that calling everything ironic was how millennials dealt with feeling cringe "Sure I 'like' 🙄 (X) but like... Ironically ya kno?" *Passionately intensely nigh obsessively loves (X) thing* We were such weird kids and honestly I love that about us

if you think about it all music is either Cat Stevens or Metallica

I love lamb I genuinely don't understand why it isn't a more common meat in the states It has so much flavor and goes so we'll with so many different types of cuisine If you haven't ever tried lamb here's your sign to go try it bc maybe you'll discover something you love!

I saw a young couple out for a walk, on his face a mask, and on her arm a tote bag the side of which read: “the world is a better place with you in it,” and as this half-masked couple passed by, it occurred to me that one of them carried a sentiment and the other embodied it.

REMINDER: You can submit a written comment or sign up to provide an oral comment to the CDC's immunization committee that RFK Jr has stacked with antivaxxers. The deadline is Sept 13. Written submission link: www.regulations.gov/document/CDC... Oral sign up link: www2.cdc.gov/vaccines/aci...

I fully believe that if Furbies were real our relationship to them would be EXACTLY like the Klingons and Tribbles Kinda terrified but its kill on sight

Thank you DPH Commish Robbie Goldstein and Governor Maura Healey for doing this. Covid vax to be covered by insurance for all MA residents. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/04/m...

The US is the sickest country in the world because of income inequality. Lack of healthcare. Food deserts and extreme poverty. It’s not vaccines. It’s not going to be solved by gutting the CDC & pushing raw milk. Give people healthcare, housing, food & a basic income.

The theatre around RFK is great and all, but his holding a position as HSS Secretary is failed state behavior, and everyone who facilitated it should be drummed out of public life.

PBS has this up on YouTube already and yes, it is so good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRSq...

For a long while people genuinely believed that the alpha model for dog behavior was correct And it is still a massive force that shapes dog training and how we conceptualize our relationship with dogs But just bc a scientist described it And just bc it's still used Doesn't mean it was ever true

One day I'm just going to go for it and get my knuckles tattooed with Butch and Dyke I don't even care that it's cliché I fucking LOVE being a Butch Dyke

"Yeah, fuck this entire country and all of the trans people in it, you deserve it" continues to be a weird response to your sisters experiencing administrative genocide. Kinda points to a disturbing baseline lack of empathy.

I really think Gen Z should bring back the term poser It has so many useful applications especially now in the age of social media

It's really easy to think that white Americans finding connection to where our families are historically from is cringe or weird But what's missing from the analysis is that this is not just a white people thing... It's an American thing

In response to the dismantling of the CDC, California, Oregon, and Washington have launched the West Coast Health Alliance, which will make their own science-based vaccine guidelines, and make sure vaccines are accessible to everyone.
