If you're in SF please go to this so I can live vicariously through you, and not just ruminate on how I live too far away to finally see "Alpha Omega" live.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Probably controversial but legitimately the worst show I've ever seen was REM in LA during the Around the Sun tour. Stipe started with a bold "i know you wanna hear the hits but we're hear to do the new stuff" and the rest of the night was dirge after boring dirge. We left before the encore.

I think a lot of people who obsess over Disco Elysium should spend less time litigating its legacy and play another game, like Norco, which is a masterpiece that not enough people played.

the fact that the average person just does not give a half of a shit about trans people and what is being done to us daily (and what is being threatened) is really really really starting to wear me down. just total apathy, even from the people that purport to care

slacker, easy. i've seen at least 40 times and am always down to watch again. my only friends in this world are 20 some odd weirdos in 1990 Austin.

hey guys - i'm in a pretty dire housing situation right now. i have to move at the end of the month (lease expires) but prior plans w/ people completely fell apart & i'm back to square one. i'm looking for a room in Brooklyn, trans friendly, 1100 a month max, not a temporary sublet. plz let me know.

i finally found the opposite of the kc green "this is fine" dog

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

One of the best videos ever made and it isn't on youtube, but I when I saw this as a kid it completely twisted my head around www.dailymotion.com/video/x15o91

both parts of this matter: this would be a near ban in all states; there’s a runway here where fighting back helps hold up falling sky for trans kids. every day matters. & if you’re like “it’ll be fine—they’ll just wait til after trump” i want you to recall what happened to *your* body from 14-17.

Reposting this as time runs out and things get ever scarier — we're getting close to meeting the goal, and any amount helps enormously.

It's scary and impoverished out there for trans folks and I'm going to have to upend my life pretty soon. My wonderful friends and bandmates put this together to help out — if you can help in anyway, with a few bucks or a share, it would make this tgirl's life a lot easier gofund.me/55321f9d3

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

it's always terrifying to live like this but today has been extremely, extremely rough.

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

Hey, uh... we're gonna need every cis ally to call their congresscritters and yell at them, because this is, like... a straight-up deathblow to healthcare that keeps a LOT of us alive.

it always hurts to be reminded that i can never go home again

the fuckers, they finally did it www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSAN...

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

When calling my reps, I think it's just as important to push for "parental responsibility" alongside saying no to KOSA/SCREEN/IODA If these legislators care so much about family values, then remind them how much they matter to you too! #SaveSpeech

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement. The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.

Oh look more authoritarian bullshit trying to weasel itself into our lives. Be loud and make them know we don't want any of this.

Call call call. Visa is literally begging us to stop calling and send emails. Calls cost them way more money and they can't use key words to filter them out

and this petition is quick to sign if you are in the US. More number go up is good bsky.app/profile/acva...

I've seen more people scolding others for who you're allowed to be mad at than people circulating payment processors phone numbers so here they are again.

i am vibrating loudly

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

my venmo is max-cohen-39 god knows i could use it!

i went through the wrong puberty and got denied hrt when i was OVER 18 and like yes i survived but i don’t want anyone to suffer the way i had to suffer. protect trans kids with full-throated support or shut the fuck up

i know a lot else is going on, but US folks PLEASE call your senators - they are actively set on trying to ban trans healthcare on Medicaid entirely which trans people like me who are on Medicaid actively depend on for life-saving healthcare

wow he's just like me fr

If you want transit in Chicago to be saved, sign a “Proponent” witness slip immediately! Firm: “Self” Representing: “Self” Subject matter: “HB 3438 - SFA 3” Position: Proponent Testimony: “Appearance Only” my.ilga.gov/WitnessSlip/...

The wildest thing to me is this fear that you’ll be cancelled and pilloried for misgendering a trans person, when myself and everyone i know usually just corrects them and moves on. We only get mad if you do it on purpose, to fuck with us.

STOP: Don’t panic–organize! @thefreeradical.org and I consulted for weeks with experts about the bill attacking Medicaid for trans people. We find that advocates can still kill the bill or mitigate its impacts through direct action and community solidarity. 🧵👇🏽 www.madycast.com/p/dont-panic...

GUYS. The comment period for this ends in THREE DAYS. PLEASE if you have even a little bit of time, submit a comment here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD... Let them know EVERYONE should be able to get COVID vaccines. They BACK DOWN when WE PUSH BACK. www.statnews.com/2025/05/20/f...

It bears repeating that 5calls.org makes it incredibly easy to contact your reps. They give you the phone numbers, a script to read, and a run down of what is happening with each issue. I just called my senators in my pjs half awake and I'll probably do it some more later

so, in short: • if we all get loud for trans rights and actually organize a movement, we can win this one • if we don’t, then a de facto ban on care is assured in us law within the next six months in other words, you found yourself in history now’s a moment to be the hero really.

ok so an important thing i really think people on bluesky need to hear about the anti-trans megabill the tl;dr is that you could actually turn the tide of trans rights in america right now but if you don’t act now, then we’re all cooked indefinitely please read on 🧵

used 5calls to call my state senators on the gop nightmare budget bill. it's stupid easy - gives you a phone number and a script for each senator it'll take 5 minutes and it's your duty to do whatever you can to protect the vulnerable ppl in your life and community 5calls.org/issue/medica...

hi, folks! is calling federal electeds to ask them not to pass shitty legislation not doing it for you? i get it. how about helping to bring about positive change that would materially help thousands of trans people? and that's actually possible? do you know about washington state's HB 1971?🧵

this is like worse case scenario for me and many other trans people on medicaid. i will likely not be able to access life saving care if this goes through. can't state it any more - they're trying to eliminate us from existing. please call your reps now

if this bill passes it will kill people. it also provides the framework for those of us with employer health plans to lose our access as well

It's cruel. It's an incredible escalation of their anti-trans culture war. And there is still a chance to stop the provision in the Senate, so if you have a trans person in your life you care about, I implore you - make your voice heard with your Senators. Both of them. Republican OR Democrat.
