I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

THESE BANS ARE GOING INTO EFFECT IN PLACES LIKE FUCKING OREGON WHERE THE CHURCH RUNS A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL SYSTEM!!!! NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT!!!! IT'S ALL JUST BASED POPE MEMES!!!! I'M LOSING MY FUCKING MIND MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I read characters as transfeminine because art is about complex and beautiful subjectivity and there is nothing more beautiful than a trans woman

A dear old friend, a certified philosopher, gave a lecture that argued The Law is a process of understanding the world—but what it couldn’t control, it understood as monsters. I love this quote. And, and— the right’s camera is always a prelude to exterminating what doesn’t fit in the frame.

Duchovny is the only cis man who I will ever accept playing a trans woman.

I am so very sympathetic to this—we’re drowning in apocalyptic news every day. But also—this idea that we should only encounter tragedy rarely is a privilege abs a position of comfort. Most people love their lives like this.

Appro, I was pleasantly surprised when the Green Ages was less “how do we learn from the Middle Ages” and more “omg look how self-sufficient these monks were!”

Cursed thought: being a writer (esp. a poet) is rooted in my desire for the space to feel my emotions. Cursed b/c that space most often requires solitude.

I’m sorry everyone. I watched Andor and expect to be insufferable about it.

I think this is right. Our revolutionary strength comes from community, born of hardship and joy. The only reason that this align with certain bodies is b/c our oppressors organize around fash, eugenic logic.

I vote for democrats-> Obama has the house and senate -> Obama continues most of bush’s policies + goes crazy with drone strikes

over two years later and I still think about this skeet. At this point I should get a custom wall tattoo

All I want to do is tell everyone whose tragedy I’ve ever seen—that I love them too deeply and loved them too quickly.

genuinely this is one of the reasons why i post magic cards that i think are cool

It was hard growing up a closeted trans girl in my family. Many of us were lost during the egg hunts held every Easter. 😔

I should call her (my surgeon).

Mary Ruefle, my beloved.

And everyone should read WHY & HOW the fascists even got to form a government. They weren’t the majority, they just were let in from the front door by the king and the bourgeoisie because they busted strikes and quelled protests by workers and farmers. Fascism is the warden of the bourgeois State

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

This this! And incidentally, where I think a lot of the investor AI craze originates. Your favorite 1 percents salivates at the idea that they can build One Robot* to unlock unlimited returns. *actual tech is fungible

Definitely coming back here when I unlock bombs.

I keep seeing ads for this and I am having a hard time believing it is anything other than a thinly-veiled fetish.

This is fascinating, frustrating, and tbh makes sense. In my experience, people a) just don’t trust healthcare as a system anymore (in the US, anyways), and b) want to have “discovered” something that will finally make the feel whole, which even medicine rarely provides.

i’m in this picture and i don’t like it

Holding out for a hero is one of Bonnie Tyler’s best , hands down. “I’m so much woman I need Hercules to satisfy me.” Writhing, indeed!

TIL

Oh no I watched Palisades Park again.

There’s no such thing as reverse age gap if they’re both women

I hate being a Marxist who loves Star Wars. What do you MEAN Yoda is the embodiment of liberalism?

Zohran made specific campaign promises about protecting access to trans care. If he is doing anything to remedy that, or is powerless to affect this access, he has has not been transparent here. I’m not done holding out hope, but the below is an overly-forgiving read of the situation.

Extremely cool.

Starting to say to myself, when using machines, “let the Dino do the work.”

I appreciate a bag that lists its liter content. Real “take only what you can carry” vibes.

I heard they used you as a sacrifice and the gods were not appeased

I apologize I was not aware of your game Caroline kwan.

I’m sick of this shit. The mayor made promises about protecting trans healthcare. He’s not following through so we’re holding him accountable That doesn’t mean we all wish we voted for Cuomo! This isn’t a fucking cult! The whole point of being progressive is we can push our electeds to do better!

Ohio just introduced HB798, an omnibus anti-trans bill that targets every aspect of trans peoples lives. It bans trans people from bathrooms, even in private businesses. It retroactively bans gender marker changes on birth certificates and drivers licenses. It compels misgendering in schools.

I really do think the difference between the USA* and WW2 fascists is that the USA had the prudence to slow roll consolidating power *Other rising fash states as well, but I think the more developed the nation--of which few fash states which few approach the USA--the slower it can afford to go fash

I'm just a layman, but I think that part of the issue here is that you cannot draw neat lines around a certain kind of child abuse while reaffirming children as their parents' property (which no branch or party in the USA is willing to do).

Happy International day of Transgender Visibility! All my homies say Trans Rights are Human Rights / anyone who's cool knows it too. We see you out there. Choose to be yourself and know that we have your back. Much love and respect today (and every day)! 🏳️‍⚧️ #transrights #transdayofvisibility

Reparations now. UBI. No means testing. Just checks. Emergency welfare available to all on request as cash payments & OPTIONAL counselling. Nationalize the internet. Categorize internet access as a basic utility, like water. Free college. Forgive all student debt. 100% tax rate above $10 mil.

I really hope this backlash grows, b/c this is how you do it. Tell people who want to exclude trans kids that they're not just making a hand-wringing, difficult decision--they're becoming the nazi bar. observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

Around the country, local and state police coordinate with ICE and other federal mercenaries to harm communities. However "anti-Trump" the mayor or governor, the police and sheriffs are working with the feds. Opposing ICE means opposing the police. Always. This is happening in Portland right now:

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

I mean this with love to my White Trans sisters. The Black civil rights movement only moved forward when it was maximalist. As soon as we ever gave ground, we lost everything. The only way to advance is to PUSH on all fronts at all times. We may not win on this front, but we cannot lose it.

i do not want to get stupid by offloading my brain to a computer. i want to get stupid the old fashioned way (bimbofication)

The risks trans people would incur from following "just piss on the floor" seem patently obvious. What might not be so obvious to cis-folks is how extremely dangerous "this is a distraction" is given the ongoing legislative and social genocide.

💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ I’m not safe in Idaho anymore. Anti-trans laws and declining health have pushed me to a breaking point; I need to leave ASAP. I’m trying to relocate somewhere safer, but I can’t do it alone.🥺 #Lgbtqcommunity #blm #art #blacksky 🌟 ko-fi.com/brandystipja...
