In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women." Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration. It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Our latest.

The Department of Aberration Defense? Were they intending for them to look this fascist? Like classic fascist, slick black clothing, sharp lines, the works, but with classic Hoyoverse asymmetry. #HSR

Yup, still stuck at work while the newbie reads out numbers to the client. So mad that the experienced person left early, cuz I'd be on my way home already if she hadn't.

My job is to talk all day, and I am so bad at it. I stammer and get so tongue tied.

Friendly reminder that money speaks louder than anything. If you're currently using Nitro, you really should cancel it. I'm sorry if it means not being able to use your emotes wherever you want or whatever it actually does, but this is a little bigger than emotes.

Please help me with continued unmet needs and preparing for my partner to live with me in March. No donation is too small to help Please share and donate if you can Kofi: shorturl.at/Z3mfJ CA: $LuciNevins Vnmo: @ Harland-Nevins PP: shorturl.at/S694j #ko-fi #helpfolkslive #helpfolkslive2026

This is an important read. I don't want to take anything away from it. However: It really should have been a news item informed by the Good Law Project's data. It isn't bc the British press has shut out any story that contradicts anti-trans talking points. goodlawproject.org/new-data-sho...

Yes brain, let's catastrophize an encounter with the higher up that I have never met. Granted, it comes from the fact I take psychic damage all day long from randos, but still, cut it out.

it would be so neat if the horrors would stop

i wish every trans person a very Money Now Money Give Them Right Now

Cozy winter vibes

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

I detest Soft Phones. It's impossible to understand anything people say. *grumble grumble*

I fear for this country. Not because the president is a madman, but because the people who could stop him aren’t.

Cool discussion led by Riki Wilchins with trans legal experts about the trans sport ban case on Assigned today.

man if you want to talk about A DAY to be on SOCIAL MEDIA, I felt like I was doing drugs

Well, that job interview went poorly. Which I am not surprised by as I slept quite badly last night, I was just in too much pain. Hopefully my new mattress topper arrives soon.

My voice is my bane right now. No one can understand me and assume male voice. So far I have been called Rubin and Raymond by several people.

Oh man, Lumine just misgendered Aether in the text. They forgot to put the pronoun tag on the text properly. I am always amused and a lil off-put whenever that happens. #Genshin

Profiles in cowardice from the publishing industry. Myself and many other queer independent authors are out there putting our work into the world whether publishers have the good sense and guts to or not. Support indie & self-published queer authors.

Omg, these trainings are FULL of hallucinatory AI animations that are so INCREDIBLY BAD. It's just so distracting for me, it's driving my brain loopy.

#ZZZ It's wild how hard they are shipping Xiao'guang with your chosen Phaethon sibling. It's no wonder they put Wise in the trailers, because it's pretty blatant in game, even if you are playing as Belle. It's very cute next to Vivian's obsessed fangirl (your other girlfriend, heh).

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Hi everybody - in honor of the “Magica Riot” audiobook winning a Transfeminine Review award, I’m putting the whole Magica Riot audio series so far - Magica Riot, Jade Evergreen and the Perils of Polybius, and Magica Riot Full Bloom - on sale for one week in an Itch bundle. itch.io/s/177864/mag...

I had a good job interview today, so that's not nothing. It feels like I might actually have a good chance for a change. Too bad it's only a temp job. But I am already in desperation territory, and looking down the barrel of a terrifying year for me, even with the perfect job.

Life is hard right now and social media isn't helping. Not that it was ever perfect, but it just feels so extra grim these days. Constant bad news, it feels like more and more people each day are posting mutual aid requests (reminding me I might be one of them soon). It hard to feel positive.

Man, 2026 sucks. Cannot wait to move on from this trash fire to 2027.

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

This comic hit me. www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/of...

I feel very sick... been barely awake and out for the better part of a day and a half. This sucks. If youre able, Id appreciate any help boosting the rent mutual aid. Im hooing to clear 3 family's rents $(3.4k - includes ours) so I can start fundraising my next root canal ASAP. linktr.ee/wylder

Ok so bad news, i paid for healthcare but my agent ended up changing me and they absolutely have not refunded the 150 i sent so im just never gonna see that again i guess. I need to earn 140 BEFORE 12/30 so i can pay for my new healthcare or i lose it. Please help. #HelpSky ko-fi.com/ovaettr/shop

🚨 ONLY $10 SENT ALL DAY! 🚨 Good morning and happy Christmas eve. My sole Xmas wish is the funds to survive what seems to be eviction + keep me and my senior cat housed. Goal: $591 of $3000 with $1500 needed ASAP. PP: shockofthequeen16 #mutualaid #helpsky #survivalmutualaid #emergencymutualaid 💸💕

I just finished listening to the audio book, I definitely needed something like this, especially since I am sick right now (listened to several hours yesterday). And Emma Martello did a great job reading it. I'm sad it's over tho, I just couldn't get enough of the characters, so cute and fun.

Now I suddenly have a fever, I'm freezing.

Luckily, I don't seem to have covid, just a nasty cold. No fever either. I'll prolly survive this one. Heh.

Dangit, I think I am sick. Anxiety time.

My roommate went all out on Christmas gifts for me, and I am extremely touched, but also a lil bit overwhelmed. He spent a lot of money on me, and he always spends a lot of money on me. All I am doing is cooking dinner tonight.

Therapists push back as the anti-trans group Therapy First has slipped its way into providing continuing education to medical professionals. @veraeikon.bsky.social provides original reporting for this story exclusively on Assigned Media.

A fun bonus! Not only is the "Magica Riot: Full Bloom" audiobook now available on Itch + coming soon elsewhere, but the original "Magica Riot" audiobook has been remastered + a line of dialogue fixed! If you bought on Itch, just redownload the files to get the new one! Also coming soon elsewhere!

One of the frustrating parts of job searching is all the companies that require you to make an account on their website in order to apply. It's just yet another account with all my information out there to be sold or stolen. Yeesh!

It's out!! I put my entire heart and soul into narrating this book, I'm super proud of it!!!

something that I really want to emphasize is that the Full Bloom audiobook is twelve hours long, and Emma does it all, and creates a distinct character voice for every single one of 28 characters in the book We basically made a season of anime audio drama here, like, it's wild

On top of everything else in my life and in this world, I got some very distressing news. I'm trying to focus on what I can control, but my life is about to have a terrifying upheaval.

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Oh dear gawd, please let this be true.

Gawd, I am doomscrolling right now. My life is looking awfully bleak right now, and I can't help it. Just not many comforting posts lately either.
