My thoughts on social media bans everywhere is that if you're taking digital connections away from teens, you better make sure they have third spaces for physical connection, and give them options for transport that is not "parents drive us around" otherwise all you're creating is isolation. And […]

New lamps!💡 In 2023 I created a line of lamps for an interior design company. They wanted a very simple, classic, non-decorative surface and so it’s been fun to return to the idea with the addition of my Earth Tones and carved surfaces. The larger one is an […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

If you have genuinely not understood something I've posted here, you can always ask me for clarification, to rephrase, etc. But, unless we're mutuals, I don't appreciate grammar corrections. I've seen too many rando gringos using these as an opportunity to be xenophobic in a kinda socially […]

There was an "instability" that prevented users on Instagram from searching for left-leaning Brazilian users including president Lula. https://www.correiobraziliense.com.br/politica/2025/12/7311233-meta-esclarece-instabilidade-em-perfil-de-lula-no-instagram.html (in Portugese) @skarnio took […]

"We all are struggling, just doing our best We've gone through the grinder, suffered loss Lost to, to which everything flows, an absence which Attracts floral blooming softly Soft is my chest, I didn't allow loss Loss make me hate, didn't harden from pain This pain we have will always be there […]

#introduction (Even though I've been here for 2 years. Intros make me that anxious. 😅) Curious. Introvert. I always try to be compassionate. I live in a small town in the state of Rio; grew up in one here too. Now, in no particular order, I'm gonna drop lots of hashtags somehow related to me […]

not sure why, but seeing lots of posts about the so-called "crisis in masculinity" today, so I'm re-upping this 🧵 from last year explaining why this issue is better thought of as a "fear of femininity"...

seriously considering writing an essay that proposes that we call GC/TERFs & other stripes of anti-trans activists "anti-GACxers"...

This post will not appear in the timeline of most Pixelfed users. Because considered at "not pretty enough" for them (despite the great illustration by @davidrevoy ) It worth asking the question: Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? […]

It's cold, foggy, and there's frost on everything. Gorgeously surreal. I vote that should be Saskatchewan's new tagline. "Gorgeously surreal" is way better than "land of living skies"

Megyn Kelly claimed Epstein was into “the barely legal type,” referring to 15 year-olds. So I wrote about how her comments highlight the ways both purity culture and rape culture sexualize young girls and make male desire their responsibility. www.liberalcurrents.com/the-barely-l...

Today, for Trans Day of Remembrance, @LGBTQNation has put together this Flipboard Storyboard. "Now more than ever, commemorating the Trans Day of Remembrance is a revolutionary act of solidarity that gives our community a memorial to honor our fallen, reflect on what we’ve endured, and advocate […]

I shared this story one year ago on the #transdayofremembrance. Things have only gotten worse since then in the US. Please check in on the well-being of your #trans friends and colleagues, not just today but on a regular basis. (I stopped attending local #tdor and TDOV events several years ago […]

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us. In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward. These are the people I'm remembering today.

Hey #fediforum, I've an ask: If you attended my session at the end of FediForum today, and you'd like to see me continue to work on these ideas, please support me financially. Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet. I need €60-70k […]

Today is the National Day of Zumbi and Black Consciousness in Brazil. I’m glad it has become a national holiday there. [1] Have you heard of Chica da Silva? Carolina Maria de Jesus? Machado de Assis? Chiquinha Gonzaga? Lima Barreto? André Rebouças? Zumbi? […] [Original post on social.vivaldi.net]

Happy #internationalmensday to my fellow dudes! Great opportunity to reflect on our shared privilege. We all need to work together to address toxic masculinity and gender inequality that are at the root of so many of today's world's problems. We need to learn to call each other out, just […]

Serious post, please boost... On #internationalmensday here's your periodic reminder, fellow AMAB prostate carrying people who are over 50: Go see your doctor. Don't put it off. Ask for a DRE or a PSA test. Yes, DRE means a finger up your bum, get over it. They probably won't find anything […]
