Being a public servant means putting the public first. Earlier today, I saw someone arguing that Waters shouldn't retire because maybe being in Congress gives her life meaning. But this isn't just about her.

I'm not an engineer but I work in the neighborhood of engineering and this gave me a lot to think about & helped me put words to things I feel at work a lot. I guess what I'm saying is listen to blood work 🔫

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

Easy automatic block for me for anyone who says Tucker Carlson has a point about Israel. Israel has made itself a genocidal state. I don’t need a babbling fascist to know that especially when he speaks in the service not of antizionism but Holocaust-justifying antisemitism.

Trying to convince the crows in my neighborhood to stop dive bombing me for snacks. It's not going well, one bounced off the back of my head.

Went to a t4t art show last night. I love trans people, we are the best.

"The border is a factory for making racism and racist violence."

there's so much disrespect of romance writers and romance readers baked into the idea that AI-driven production of novels is 'better'. as if writing romance isn't skillful, hard and joyous work. as if romance readers aren't discerning, loyal and savvy.

I'm calling for a complete ban on cis people until we figure out wtf is going on

An entire community of thousands, here legally, having been demonized with deranged lies about eating pets, is about to be arbitrarily DECLARED illegal so they can be forcibly ethnically cleansed. I don’t want to hear one more fucking word about comparisons to Nazi Germany being overwrought.

Transition

“Minnesotans’ relentlessness offers a blueprint for how to react when ICE inevitably arrives to stir up trouble where there was none; how to look violence dead in the eye and say not in my town; how to provide aid laterally when you know those at the top won’t be passing any down.” My latest—

Living in the trump era makes me feel very connected to my ancestors, who lived as serfs under a succession of insane moron god kings

replace rfk jr with this guy

any incredulous fuckwit who weepily tries to pretend that “people didn’t vote for this!” needs printouts of this image shoved down their throat

A Honda Fit is objectively the best car ever produced, I'd put a sticker of this on my Fit

This morning, I visited the site of an encampment in Ballard that was scheduled to be removed because I wanted to understand in detail for myself what’s working and not working in our current approach. I decided to extend the deadline. Read more: wilson.seattle.gov/2026/01/14/m...

I love spending months begging for help at work, being told I'm dramatic, and then being in trouble for failing. I wish I had the financial security to just fucking quit.

FEELIN' PRETTY NOW OR NEVER TO ME

Because they wear the totally wrong kind of masks. Don't be stupid like ICE, wear a KN95 respirator or better when you go out.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Masked ICE agents, it seems, are now killing American citizens on American streets. Any Democrat who doesn’t support abolishing ICE should be instantly primaried and run out of the party. This is non negotiable. You cannot support the continued existence of this fascist murderous secret police.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

some new year resolution to try on: - make more art (even if it’s bad, especially if it’s bad) - engage with more physical media - be the slut you want to see in the world

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

It's advent calendar season!! This year I have the Adagio Tea calendar, the Ikea chocolates one, and Teeter has freeze dried chicken from tjoes. Pumpkin spice tea: boring, tastes like black tea that was held near some cinnamon. White choc/vanilla truffle: fine Chicken: scary at first, but good

bluesky is an app where distressingly well-read queer people will take turns kicking ill-informed new york times reporters (laudatory)

Bouncing back and forth between sharing loving images to comfort myself and you all, and fight with all my being.

Good episode! I did get very startled when Moira said "Sid with a septum ring who goes by they/them pronouns" though.

Politicians and rich people only condemn violence as "political" when it kills someone rich and famous. When trans people are targeted for violence by the state or by right wing influencers, when immigrants are racially profiles and put in camps, when protestors are brutalized, that's just normal.

Me and the laborers worked all day today to set up classrooms for teachers so obviously I'm getting rude emails from teachers about it.

Literally prayed to God in the shower today, looked to up to the sky/ceiling and everything, to beg for a break. Do you have any idea how embarrassing that is as an atheist

“maybe it will happen today” - early 21st century american proverb

anyone who uses tragedy to attempt to take away trans health care is a genocidal maniac who wants to inflict pain on an entire community

She's right as always

This, from @erininthemorning.com's latest piece about Gavin Newsom helps explain why Newsom-loving libs' "erm, then enjoy Trump again!!!" stuff doesn't work on trans people who've been paying attention. www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

The custodian and admin secretary are the two most important people at any school. They run the building and turn it from a big empty box into a school. If you think they're not important you don't know shit about schools.

the fact that they didn’t get new leadership after the last election was such a monumental failure of the entire party. people really thought you could slap a new coat of paint on and it’d be the same as a shiny new car.

i simply do not believe there are actually 50,000 interchangeable ride or die boomer newsom supporters eager to argue that it's necessary to let trans people become second class citizens to save the republic. occam's razor dictates you're all just making yourselves insane arguing with chatGPT agents
