Gonna dye my hair bright red and call myself Faggedy Ann

They laughed again and said you seem like you're probably the sort who spends a lot of time contemplating the great and terrible Spider and I said yeah I do be contemplating the Spider

I always assume too much good faith, but there was a point listening to conservative relatives where I had the moment of "If HRT saves 999 trans kids but inconveniences one cis kid, they actually would rather have those 999 trans kids die..." and it suddenly made sense in the worst way.

I'm in the living room and Claire comes downstairs naked and in a dead serious voice says, "There's pickles on the porch" I look at her for a minute, confused. "There's pickles on the porch" Turns out she meant a delivery that she wasn't dressed to retrieve but that was so surreal for a minute

White Christianity needs to be abolished and replaced with something compassionate.

It’s going to happen someday and people are going to celebrate and anybody who wants to scold that celebration had best be prepared to fight.

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

And the shepherd's boy says, there's this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it

Democrats win when they campaign on a progressive platform and they lose when they don’t, and I cannot believe how many people don’t see that. If Obama campaigned in ‘08 on how he actually governed or has acted since then, he would’ve probably lost even with the unpopularity of the republicans then.

What a great fucking metaphor they didn't mean to employ

Kirk’s ‘memorial’ getting a live coverage on The Guardian is a great example of how the right gets automatically framed as the default political movement to be ‘understood’ while the victims of that same movement never will never get the same amount of coverage

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

Bipartisanship is collaboration and should be punished as such.

I'm kinda okay with mainstream journalism dying if they're going to keep acting this way otherwise.

You can't take the high road because it's impassible from all the dead bodies on it.

"irreversible medical intervention" is a strange way to spell "puberty"

Ari Drennan is a clear example of how the liberal NGO industrial complex cannot deliver even basic protection and aid, much less liberation.

Hey people whose Disney+ I steal, I noticed you haven't cancelled that yet, and I'm judging over here

"We have to prove we aren't violent. We have to be better." Okay show me a single instance in world history when offering no resistance to tyranny led to anything but brutal exploitation and murder.

This is a real tweet

It frustrates me how few people seem to see it this way. Yes, it's hard to stand up for what's right. No, victory/vindication is not assured. Yes, you are expected to do your job, whether that's telling the truth or representing your constituents and their values as an elected official.

the fact they're out here running "abigail spanberger will trans your kids" against one of the most conservative candidates out of the Democratic Party is a great example of why actually standing up for trans people, especially kids, is the only way to go

Hugs for everyone who has a neurodivergent preference to be barefoot but hates it when their feet are cold a little more

We're violent because....we get murdered a lot?

“Yeah can I get uhhhh Charlie Kirk?” It only comes with one shot.

Why bother negotiating with some who is telegraphing on national television that he will cave?

Good morning

Probably just racism if I'm being honest with you

There's a point where the Matrix stops being a metaphor for trans existence, and becomes just a literal description.

This shit makes me so mad because people don't understand how much power we have over these companies and the only thing we need to do is not give them money. The only thing we need to do is to not do anything. It's the easiest shit! *wearily* collective action does work, it really does

Many survivors feel shame about how our symptoms get in the way of "adulting"-- but you need to know tasks like paying bills, being on time, car maintenance, & even basic hygiene often trip the "Big Three" CPTSD triggers: feeling controlled, trapped, or "in trouble." No shame.

From the party that brought you "Doing nothing to codify reproductive rights for women for 45 years", comes Broken Record This greatest hits album includes the brand-new singles "Democrats Should Welcome Anti-Choicers" and "Your Transphobic Concerns are Valid"

Tho Nazis most famously persecuted Jews, among the early groups harassed, rounded up, jailed, disappeared, and executed were trans people, immigrants, the mentally ill, homeless people, and Hitler's political enemies. It's not only the same groups, but in the same order. Not even trying to hide it.

Nazi Lives Don't Matter.

Trans women around my age: Do you ever feel like one of those crabs who are built from the ground up to live at the very bottom of the ocean, who explode when you take them to the surface?

Ah that first year of transition was nice

Ezra Klein and Gavin Newsome's strategy of appeasement is what leads to the far right. Folding on reproductive or trans rights to try and win elections normalizes those positions as moderate rather than extreme

giving the LLM dysphoria because i keep telling it that it would look cuter in a floor to ceiling vacuum tube mainframe instead

dawg. we are going to be complaining about microaggressions and demanding safe spaces more loudly than ever. what the fuck do y'all think is happening?

Even funnier about the Sinclair Charlie Kirk special that didn’t air on ABC affiliates: it only had 2,000 views on YouTube this morning (worldwide) and this afternoon it’s still not even at 4,000! NO ONE CARES

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THIS TO THE ENTIRE ECONOMY A GENERAL STRIKE IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS OF PROTEST AGAINST INJUSTICE

Trans women have a right to beat your daughter in sports and steal your husband.

I suspect even if you as a voter hate trans people, the fact that someone like Kamala Harris has so perceptibly turned the transphobia knob back and forth while looking to the audience for approval, showing she does not actually believe in anything, is way more offputting than the supposed wokeness

"We have to throw you under the bus to win." They lose anyway. "We have to throw you under the bus to win." They lose anyway. Over and over and over.

States shutting down Pride events supposedly due to "lack of sponsors and funding" First, we all know they're really just terrified to accidentally be seen as an ally. But second, I'd LOVE if a pride had no budget. Actually just a bunch of queers loving each other. Fuck the capitalism, fuck sponsors

under fascism daytime news shows can openly and directly call for your mass executions, but indirectly hinting at them receiving any amounts of consequences (or even celebrating them) gets you banned

under fascism those in power can rape but god forbid you make art about it

I truly don't understand how democratic leadership think they are going to move forward after voting to honor a white nationalist who essentially called Black women—the base of the party—stupid. It's insulting. I find it personally insulting.

imo a fair conclusion to draw about dem leadership's obstinance in the face of revolt from their voters is that they'd rather win an intra-party fight with their left wing & their own voters than maximize potential electoral gains in the midterms

has capitulating to the trump administration actually been shown to be strategically wise in any circumstances for accomplishing any goal? even once?
