We reached $350! Thank you so much, everyone! 😆

WE DID IT!!! Thank you so much, everyone!

Only at $65 so far. :(

Work hours remain scarce. I am once again short on funds. 😞I'm going to need at least $167 by tomorrow. Anything beyond that will go to groceries. My Venmo is @Mary-Lowrie and my Cashapp is $MaryLowrie1. In the meantime, I shall apply for unemployment, and see what retail jobs there are.

My finances took a hit when I lost SNAP benefits, and with my job hours reduced due to the holiday season, I am falling short on my bills. Even after payday today, I have only $140 in the bank and a mandatory credit card payment of $167 tomorrow.

Be good. Be present. Be compassionate. Be a beacon. Be you, loudly you, in whatever spaces you can, because you are who is needed, and being you is what is needed.

Thiel is Christian exactly as much, and in roughly the same ways, as Jordan Peterson: using some of its language to advance an unrelated and deeply antithetical project that is, however, no less reactionary than the norm of modern Christendom

Talk Of Fascism Dangerous, Warns Ministry Of Compliance

I know it's not the first time I've said this, but my brain is weirdly susceptible to gaslighting. I know the Trumpers are lying liars who lie and I still pause when they step up to the podium and confidently declare "WELL YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN OBAMA FUCKED A WALRUS" and think wait, did he?

"i want to transition but im scared what if im regressively conforming : ((" stop. breathe. get the shoddy janice raymond catholic metaphysics filtered through tumblr out of your head. transition is never to a closed point. transition is living. life is movement & process. desires always keep going

my trans daughters are extraordinary young women

I am so disappointed in Bishop Robert Barron. Look, I left the church almost a decade ago, so maybe this isn't mine to say. But when I was a young Catholic intellectual in the 00s, Barron felt...different. He captured what George Weigel called "the sacramental imagination" of Catholicism, this 1/

Time to found the Knights Radiant in real life

Starting to become an anti-anti doomer tbh. “Why is everyone so scared when clearly subsection 137a, clause 5 of the walrus control act says Trump can’t…” I dunno, probably because we all have PTSD from not going a single day without thinking of the orange fuck in ten years. Cut me some slack.

ChatGPT is an incredible resource, and I've only begun to scratch the surface of what I can do with it.

Giga Texas is an excellent example of this principle at work.

I remember when I was first meeting communists and saw discussions of dialectical materialism, how some of them concluded they liked the materialism part but not so much the dialectics, seeing it as in conflict with materialism. I went the complete opposite direction and don't regret it lol

Make AIDS Great Again, I guess. welcome back to the eighties.

Womanhood becomes a place of freedom and joy in sub communities and cultures where those spaces reject the societal control that is Misogyny. Womanhood can be a force for liberation… but it becomes very clear that the moment you step outside the confines of those spaces that being a woman +

Last two reskeets probably look completely at odds, but I don't think they are somehow. They describe two different modes of "womanhood," but I think I've experienced both.

Womanhood is worth something to me. I fought like hell to be one.

like a point of solidarity that i wish was talked about more is that Womanhood can be *failed* at and it doesn’t matter if you’re cis or if you’re trans. Womanhood is, by design, a cage to begin with—at least today under the society in which we live.

𝗔𝗿𝗱𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗵𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗮 /𝟭 A composite deity in Hindu mythology, comprising the feminine goddess Parvati and the masculine god Shiva. According to the Advaita Vedanta philosophy of Hinduism, the ultimate reality is a #non-binary consciousness which is beyond gender, form and attributes. #IndiaSky

Can't believe I still haven't read Julia Serrano. There's so many great books and authors I haven't finished or even tried yet. Maybe that can change in 2025.

Happy Christmas Eve. Every year I inflict this upon you, one of my least popular comics ever. Enjoy!

The most cringe resist lib who built shrines to Mueller and thought “Drumpf” was cooking with fire had a better batting record than every single savvy politics knower. Despite -or perhaps because this- the media has no interest in attending a wine mom brunch instead of another blue collar diner.

They’re going to use ANYTHING WE SAY against us. They’re going to blithely switch arguments as needed. Agree to social transition alone and they’ll move the goalpost.

It's 8 degrees fahrenheit. Toto, I don't think we're in Texas anymore.

I wonder if the Magnificat was Shakti singing about Shiva.

We must love people before they make sense to us, because only love can teach us what they are really like in the first place.

there is absolutely zero fucking excuse for excluding non-binary folk from the trans umbrella beyond fear, stupid mindless selfish exclusionary fear.

If I catch any of yall saying "stolen valor" about another tran I stfg im blocking your ass

there is no earthly reason for pointing at someone and yelling that they're being trans wrong.,

Come out ye Singal stans Come and fight me like a man Tell the mods about how bad his ass was beaten Tell them how their platform's best Made him cry to T&S Til he ran the hell to X and gave up skeeting

Hey @magsvisaggio.com , this reminds me of you

The Bhagavad Gita abridged

Simone de Beauvoir is awesome.

Idea: a Rankin-Bass Christmas special that’s an allegory for the atman’s relationship with life. “An Elf Named Self.”

I really need to remember this for future reference.

It's super awesome seeing old christian twitter moots like @sharonk.bsky.social and @ofvick.bsky.social on here, even though I'm kind of a pagan now. You are both wonderful people. I hope you know that.

Only consciousness is real.

trans people are people

Back to the job hunt. Job stuff is a touchy subject for me, considering how easily workplace scenarios feed into my mental health problems, but there's not much of an alternative. Prayers appreciated from those who pray.
