I would never wish cancer on anyone. Even former presidents who are complicit in genocides. But I'm also not ever going to fell bad because a horrible thing happened to a horrible person. Anyway. Thought and prayer, or whatever.

Olga of Kiev didn't just randomly bury a boat full of men alive in her castle courtyard and then firebomb their city with pigeons. There was political and economic CONTEXT for those actions.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

I don't want to have to explain the historic context of why the US is a dumpster fire of fascism. I want to get a little day drunk and make out with my hot friends. But HISTORY won't stop happening.

A few reminders on Trans Day of Visibility I'm not a man. Trans Rights are human rights. Gender affirming care is life saving healthcare. If you're transphobic I hope that you step in cat piss first thing every morning.

Please know that I will only get more trans and more queer and more muscular and sluttier as time goes on and that most of you will only get to experience 3 of those things.

Did I trans my gender because I was just so constantly ashamed of men that I no longer wanted to be one? The answer to that question is... not no

Sometimes the lighting is great and you snap a selfie where your muscles look awesome and you want to show off all your hard work and effort but the internet is horrible and full of perverts who can't be chill so you do not do that.

The truly wonderful thing about the internet is that it has allowed me to connect with and befriend SWers, leftists, and trans folks all around the world and honestly, if you don't fall into at least one of those categories you do not spark joy.

And they will try to get away with it (legally) thanks to measures put in place during the Bush era. Thanks to the war on terrorism, anything they consider to be "terrorism" can strip you of your rights. He is not the first, and he won't be the last.

The ironic part of fascism's maxim of "strength in unity" is that community is actually the best weapon we have against fascism. When fascists say "strength in unity" they really mean conformity.

By the time I die I fully intend for my tattoos to remind people of an old laptop covered in random stickers. Is there any cohesion? Does the placement really make sense? No. But my friends made them and they make me happy.

If your boss asks you to do extra work because your job is short staffed, remember this all-important phrase: "I am not responsible for your lack of staff"

History: “Eventually the incompetent fascists invariably lose power and then society recovers in a new and stronger way” Me: “Oh, cool, so what has to happen for the spell to be broken??” History: “mmmm…well, that part is less encouraging.”

It's obviously important for elected officials to be accountable to voters. However, if I had a job where it took a bunch of strangers calling my office and telling me how to do things for me to make good choices, it would be fair to say I was bad at that job.

"Um, History Wizard, that's an ad homenim" No, ad homenim would be if I attacked you instead of your argument. You don't have an argument. So I'm just insulting you. Get it right.

"You're just flaunting your degree as an appeal to authority" Well you see, that's because I AM an authority. Got the fancy piece of paper and everything that says an accredited institution vouches for my expertise and a panel of experts signed off on my thesis. Eat a bag of dicks Jared.

Stop calling people who are silent in the face of genocide "bystanders" They're facilitators. Their silence is agreement.

Major breaking trans news: The ACLU has launched a lawsuit on behalf of 7 transgender people affected by Trump’s passport ban. Incredible filing. The Trump admin is now swarmed with lawsuits over discriminatory and illegal executive orders.
