Occasionally there is good news.

Here in Boston, we’ve made it more costly for Fenway to abandon trans youth and trans adults by protesting in front of their clinic, by severing ties with them, and by disrupting their gala and public events. I suggest local activists elsewhere investigate similar potentials for disruption.

This. We do not deserve to be abandoned. We deserve the full throated support of people who claim to support us. Not the apologetic shuffle of "sorry, but it's hard!"

Good to know Massachusetts Catholics like C.J. Doyle consider protecting immigrants "obstruction of justice." All of this is in response to the sign below. www.boston25news.com/news/local/i...

Shortly after I came out as trans, @katta.bsky.social introduced me to the concept of Epistemic Exploitation, and it has haunted me ever since. "Epistemic exploitation occurs when privileged persons compel marginalized persons to educate them about the nature of their oppression." A🧵

Spent two days with no sleep working family out of a crisis only for my brain to go "oh you want to sleep? First watch me add these new memory images to that recurring ptsd nightmare of yours. No don't think about it. How could this have been trauma? Enjoy your nightmares!"

goddamn do i love when a tv show needs a character to flash back to a ridiculous amount of time ago and they just throw a terrible wig on like 'this is when you guys have to do the suspension of disbelief part'

not only are they still here they have gotten even closer. when I have a minute i am going to have some strong words for somebody

genuinely a very good chance I ask my therapist if there's any way to have a second appointment this week, it's been a real 'life comes at ya fast' week and I am handling it as well as I think I could unreasonably expect but I def need a vent and cry space with her more than usual

I think if the weird kid in high school got suspended for a week when he made a 'death note' and put all the 'popular*' kids in it because it was technically a hit list then the president making a public list of reporters he doesn't like should be considered one too, given his violent cult base

Trying to figure it where getting stitches removed is going to fall on the scale from weird and uncomfortable to painful but also not think too much about it and trigger a panic attack

Shadow Of The Colossus reskin where you play as a cat trying to take down a Christmas tree.

Healing well but today I am so itchy and medicine is only keeping it from being a nightmare, still very itchy Looking forward to a shower later in hopes it helps or at least is soothing for a bit

Okay I'm going to bed and when I wake up these massive structural problems better not be here 😤

Think all the stressors are getting to me today. Feel like if I don't explode I'll collapse. Finding myself wishing the people in my life had better perspective on all the things.

Texting my therapist after this week like 'do you have an extra appointment this is gonna take a while'

Definitely have to share one of the most iconic Thanksgiving Day reenactments today. Grab those cardigans and highballs and enjoy! 🦃 🍁 🪶🔥🍽️

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

gosh I love (/s) living in a society where people are so isolated from family and community that every year I feel like I see more and more articles around the holidays about how to be around people without fighting, it's great we're doing great

dragged the first fractured pieces back together for a slightly uncomfortable but overall successful family holiday. plenty of healing and connecting to go but a solid first step for well meaning loved ones who've made mistakes and want to be better <3 all I could ask for really

it'd be nice to have a family that was more cohesive and not structured the way mine is so that holidays don't end up being like 5 different events people are trying to balance for pretty good reason, maybe next year though

partner's trying to watch the last season of stranger things as it drops and netflix broke about it

I've never wanted to exercise as much as I have in this couple weeks where I'm not supposed to be doing a lot of that and I can't figure out yet if it's just the 'because I can't do the thing I usually don't want to it's safe to want to" or if it's what I hope "with less dysphoria I feel confident"

bc the last week has sucked I ended up being one of the people at the grocery store the day before thanksgiving and it was hectic but also maybe the nicest 'we're all here dealing with the bullshit' vibe i've had at the grocery store

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving for many, but for some it is the National Day of Mourning. The event will be broadcast. It's worth watching.

appreciate that the chilly overcast starting to sprinkle rain weather of November in New England is here to set the scene of digging my dog's grave, makes it feel more cathartic this way

Oh there's nobody to eat my pizza crusts wtf

No contract, no coffee. We don’t believe in sitting on the sidelines. Join our Transition co-chair @linamkhan.bsky.social , First Deputy Mayor Dean Fuleihan & @sbworkersunited.org at the picket lines.

Can't wait to find out how many months it's going to take for me to let go of some of my dog's stuff while also feeling the emptiness of loss every time I see the spaces in our home that we're his

I think about this post daily

No. Not today. I will not be rage baited by a vibes based hit piece on ms rachel from somebody who didn't look into some of the easily available information on their claims as a means to blame others for the parts of parenting they haven't fully sorted yet. I am going to eat too much pizza instead.

Trying to decide on an ornamental-ish tree and not really locked in on any specific thing besides can live in Rhode Island and would be great if it's native but doesn't need to be so if you've got ones you love I'd love ideas

From r/TransgenderUK: The BBC is putting together a hit piece against GenderGP.

I had a post-op appointment this morning where I had been supposed to get my stitches out and I already was pretty sure I wasn't up for it because of last night's loss but I did make myself go in to at minimum have my NP check the area that had been healing a little slower/poorly

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw. The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

shitty life update ): a few days ago kind hearts here offered love and support about my dog's cancer treatment and I am currently shattered because his cancer progressed much more quickly than anybody expected. Last night/early this morning he was starting to have problems breathing so we spent

having fun on the internet is when a conversation gets to the point of referencing the unabombers thoughts on how indigenous ways of living aren't worth learning from

A judge has permanently blocked Trump's destruction of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Really good news for libraries (and those like me, who love them! www.ala.org/news/2025/11...

started to feel panic/anxiety symptoms on the physical side while feeling pretty normal emotionally and mentally and still took way too long to realize that I missed meds and because of the time it makes most sense to just live with it four more hours

Something I've seen a few times now in a short period is people commenting on a post or in a thread where the topic is related to like "ai sucks" or "why is anyone still on twitter" and like somewhat agree and then blissfully go on to share how they use/do the thing criticized in the post

This is my home. This is my neighborhood. This is my neighbor. I'm fucked up. I'm so fucked up right now. I'm so angry. via @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social

This is very good. Clear, calm, factual, and devastating for proponents of bans on puberty blockers for trans youth. theconversation.com/puberty-bloc...

Haven't thought of it in ages but just bumped into something elsewhere that reminded me of when I was a teenager into fandom and fanfic and people started discourse about how girls were fetishizing gay men through shipping and this was shortly before I figured out my gender shit so it "meant" me

help me get the word out about how this cis man is preying on trans people’s vocal dysphoria! 💀 tiktok post live now:

nobody thinks about trans ppl more than transphobes trans ppl don't even think about trans ppl as much as them

Most accounts on Twitter turn out to be Russian MAGA bots. Here’s why Bluesky has an intellectual diversity problem

I feel this should be obvious but we do understand the reason for the focus on gender affirming care for incarcerated people, right? The goal is to get people to admit that they think gender affirming care is *not medically necessary*.

“Meta stalled internal efforts to prevent child predators from contacting minors for years due to growth concerns, and pressured safety staff to circulate arguments justifying its decision not to act.” www.reuters.com/sustainabili...
