well, I finally finished writing that quick post on my thoughts on Expedition 33 (eight months later): www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftsx...

no one told me I'd have to name a video to post it on youtube what's that about

i really need help on this. there’s a lot of meds and supplies i constantly need to get to manage this recovery. not to mention the travel costs to my doctor. anything helps 🙏

might fk around and release the video later today (if not today then tomorrow)

Important to emphasize: while the realities depicted in this article are grim, the trans political prisoners are also building community. They do have real support both behind bars and outside. This is part of a long history of U.S. political prisoners organizing. People resist. Always.

every time i log on something horrible is happening but also people are trying really hard to help

Today, I would like to present a deep dive into feminist history that got away from me. Like, really got away from me. It is about the futility of a politics of appeasement. It is about the unburial of a neglected feminist history. But most of all, it's about lesbian feminism, and sins unforgiven.

For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote about the simultaneous mainstream media erasure of Renee Good's queerness and the right wing amplification of it as a post hoc justification for her murder. xtramagazine.com/power/activi...

work should never have to take precedence over lesbianism 😤

Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.

i am absolutely empathetic to a man whose lost his daughter. however, there is at least one other person who is an obvious participant in this child's life. and as a lesbian it is difficult not to consider the underscoring that is suggested here

Your reminder that what happened to Renee Nicole Good is something that happens regularly in America. This is not new, but it is an expanded version of militarized people targeting Black people in particular. From ICE detention to murder with impunity, we've been doing it. Now it's broadened.

This is heartbreaking, and also upsetting to see it amplified instantaneously when video shows her wife crying and talking about their kid at school. We have no idea what kind of family dynamics are at play and a same-sex partner is vulnerable to being muscled out of the story, so we should use care

i think renee good being an evidently leftist queer woman, in a relationship with another woman who was with her in the car, with both of them taking care of a child, is not at all coincidental to her being assassinated by the state

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

to be clear, am very determined to outright materialize having a good time if I have to (in the near-ish future), i have just been in and out of the vet with the cat the last few days and am a mess.

Actually just having a really bad time. would like to be posting about having a good time thx

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

gotta say I really hate how (1) awful everything is at the moment and (2) ppl decide they're gonna make it worse for trans women in particular for, i dunno, just existing? cause the spaces we get to exist in are so innumerable that ppl have to make sure we can't have too much, right?

“a trans woman i don’t know online asking why someone put tits on a nintendo dog is literally the same as how i was bullied in high school. that’s why it is ok to harass her for 2 days until she deletes her account” you should process your trauma with a support group instead of becoming reactionary

What happened to Parker exemplifies the difference between people who hate oppression and people who hate being oppressed, because the latter always seem to want trans women's blood. A lot of y'all punch sideways or down because it makes you feel powerful that you finally found women you can hit.

Every mob that has ever run a trans woman off of socials has had a "valid reason" why they deserved it. But it's still systemic and endemic.

I just want everyone to step back and realize how often it's a trans woman getting bullied off social media.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

Jesus this is so evil and horrific. I know things are early and developing, but do we know what can be done to support the people in Venezuela? Mutual aid, organizations on the ground, etc?

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement. spitfirenews.com/p/grok-csam-...

nicknaming lesbians tiramisu the way we're full of coffee and lady fingers

A lesbian dating sim where you can pick your gender, but if you pick male you can’t date any of the characters unless you transition

numerous times where the response is some variation on "welcome to being a woman", claiming it was the trans woman's fault, etc. in general abuse, esp. abuse of women, is never taken seriously, but much of the world *requires* the abuse of trans women to hold the structure of gender violence intact

Merry Christmas

Why did you transition? Wrong answers only. Pets that only liked women loved me.

does anyone have any examples of art (any medium with words/dialogue) that explicitly discusses what defines great art to offer meaningful insight vs. a veneer of being more profound? (and I mean literally the words "great art" or similar adjective)

Yes, please, tell us more about what "Great Art" is.

Clair Obscur’s now confirmed Gen-AI usage during the development process has caused their IGA debut and GOTY wins to be retracted.

I am so tired of seeing this ridiculous transphobe story about "transing gay kids." It's offensive on multiple levels. It erases a lot of trans people, yes, but also acts like the big threat to GNC gay people is pressure to change genders, when it's punishment and VIOLENCE for our differences.

I do a lot of personal research about mental illness to help myself, e.g. about vagal theory, trauma theory, methods that have worked for others, therapy techniques, all kinds of things. And one thing I find over and over again is that in the end, recovery is not a technique.

Go help trans people get housing, go help trans people get hormones, go help trans people get money and food and jobs and everything else we need to not just survive but to thrive Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

no no, some of this is real. when i was a child i was not allowed to leave the dinner table until i let every last estradiol tablet on my plate dissolve under my tongue. “don’t you know there are children across the world who are going to bed without being feminized‽”
