Shaking with sadness, fear and rage right now.

Merry Christmas! 🌲😻

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Amazing!! Women Help Women (womenhelp.org) is manufacturing their own abortion pills in order to make abortion safer, simpler and more accessible across borders. They designed an eco-friendly combi-pack that's easier to mail discreetly and centred around women’s experiences and needs.

The real victim at the centre of this absurd case is very clearly Dr Beth Upton To witness the way in which she’s been dehumanised and vilified by Peggie and their (Sex Matters) legal team, the tribunal judge, the British media, and UK politicians has been beyond horrifying Solidarity Beth

Why miss a good meme?

A stochastic terror campaign against anyone who is trans or gender nonconforming. We wake up with this fear, and we go to bed with this fear. And it weighs on us every minute of our lives. Exactly as intended. And most institutions not only don't protect us, they protect the aggressors.

Heartbreaking cruelty. Which is the point. The goal is to make life unliveable for trans people and the people who care about us. To eliminate our social engagement, our employment opportunity and to isolate us from our peers. Once we are sufficiently Othered, well, you know what’s next.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Master scheduler.

Pixel prepares for another hard day at the office.

People vastly underestimate how important trans* rights are in the contemporary fight for freedom. If you cannot make your own choices for your body, the name you go by, or even the very clothes that you wear, then you are not, in any sense, meaningfully free.

@elimgarak240b.bsky.social For a simple tailor, you have a lot of opinions on galactic politics. 😉

"activist" is a weasel word intended to manipulate the reader's opinion. If a publication uses it in a headline I know it's not a serious publication. If a journalist uses it in an article I know they're not a serious journalist. End of story.

Proud to have been a matching sponsor and part of raising $8,000 for www.skippingstone.ca/legalfund More is always needed. If you're looking for a great cause, kids who are losing their health care and their caregivers could really use your help to push back against government overreach.

Trying to finish my work day be like ...

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

“The voices that matter most – trans young people, their families, the clinicians who work with them and trans health experts in Aotearoa – have been clear: access to puberty blockers is crucial.” Young trans people need access to transition healthcare. We must listen to them, not to transphobes.

You know what, I'm just gonna re-up this post

Why does Pixel seem so smug? Because she thinks it's only big enough for one cat and she'll have it all to herself. Think again, Pixel. You. Will. Be. Snuggled.

On Trans Day of Remembrance, every year, I think about how close I came to not making it. I think about how a small, hateful, loud, and well-funded group caused me to believe I’d rather die than come out as transgender. (Thread)

1/ This Trans Day of Remembrance we honour the memory and lives taken due to anti-trans violence. Dangerous anti-2SLGBTQI hate and rhetoric continue to take hold in modern-day society.

So, what stage are we at? That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.

Skimming through the Epstein emails has me convinced we need an extinction level event ☄️. But for billionaires.

I will be startled every time by the shocking accuracy of the bidets here in Japan. And I'm going to miss them like crazy when I go home! The undercarriage is so clean she sparkles! ✨😂

My god this. Give the proles something to hate to distract from the sickening behavior of the elite. Meanwhile: www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n... What's wrong with social stratification? Quintessentially this. Power imbalance is the root of so much horror.

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Dems, this is not complicated. People value authentic values and can sense them. Stand for something! Kamala didn't lose by failing to sufficiently woo the right, she lost by not turning out her own fucking voters through failing to articulate a meaningfully different vision from Biden.

I did. It was me. Sorry, not sorry.

Heartbroken for everyone trans in the US for so many reasons, but today in particular for the supreme court shadow docket stay on gender markers. Passports are intended to enable *safe* travel of a nation's citizens. How the fuck does this preserve the safety or dignity of someone who is trans?

It makes me seethe to think about women experiencing workplace harassment reading this shit In a supposedly reputable paper. Or women, like my mother, who experienced the full force of the "un-ruined" workplace in the 80s and 90s where harassment was acceptable, rampant and inescapable.

my single favorite joke in seven seasons of “Deep Space Nine” is when Kira storms out of Sisko’s office in a rage because she found the Cardassians’ dossier on her activities with the Shakaar cell in which Gul Dukat had labeled her a “minor” terrorist I laugh every time

A neat little quiz game: Is a headline homophobia from the 80s-90s or transphobia from the 2010s-2020s? Because it's all the same bullshit, repackaged for the hate du jour haveigotphobiaforyou.com

Just witnessed Pixel, having emerged from the cat room after taking a particularly noxious dump, sniff the air dubiously then turn tail and return to her litter box to bury matters further. Thanks for the courtesy flush, Pixel!

Said farewell to my beloved Jora on video today. She's at my parents farm thousands of miles away. At age 27 she's had a good life. She's been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. It's hard to say goodbye.

Someone is finally settling into her new home. 🥰
