The mock curiosity about a trans girl's gender combined with the morbid and sadistic idea that stabbing her would reveal some truth of the matter in the noise she makes crying out in pain is a scaled up version of the titillating speculation you get in the pages of the guardian and the daily mail.

Having a bisexual partner SHOULD make me feel better about transition related fears but when the brain worms are extra active I just worry that I’ll become the “worst of both worlds” and totally undesirable 🥲

Just watched a video of two women showing different tropical fruits they grow and saw a bunch of comments trashing mamey fruits…pissing me tf off 😤

paypal.me/calebhosalla I have severe hypothyroidism and a heart deformation caused by type II diabetes. My endocrinologist is scared and think my parathyroid has damage because I am still hypocalcemic 9 months post surgery. I also take care of my mother, who has a brain injury from sepsis

Trans men, trans mascs and nonbinary people taking T: PLEASE learn about the symptoms of vaginal atrophy and if you experience this during transition please ask for topical estrogen! I know there are some major healthcare barriers like affordable + trans friendly obgyns but this is treatable.

1) countless trans kids are going to needlessly suffer because of this. 2) 18 year olds are ADULTS – so your conceding (as Trump admin hoped by setting 19 at age) that restricting care for trans adults is fine. 3) this goes against the recommendations of most medical professional organizations...

1. In a move that is likely to be seen as capitulation to Trump, EITM can confirm that Mamdani's first ever trans direct care clinic will deny care to those under 19 years of age, the age from Trump's anti-trans EOs. It is a far cry from his pledge to "use every tool" to fight capitulation.

Trying on clothes make me feel like a fucking hucow. Hate it

Good evening, Bluesky

this is why it makes me literally sick to my stomach when leftists self-righteously hold forth about how consequences for abusers is "just like christian punitive moralism" unlike "redemption and forgiveness" which is apparently *not* explicitly christian doctrine

I actually AM greedy and confused but it has nothing to do with the fact I’m bisexual

You might be an organizer if you always carry a stash of water bottles and name label stickers in the back of your car

Labeling entire accounts “adult” and hiding them, no matter what they are posting, will inevitably suppress vast amounts non-explicit political speech around sex work and censorship. The accounts most likely to speak out about over moderation are the ones first to experience it — the whistleblowers

Black people have been saying this.

As the US continues its attempts to strangle Cuba, here’s one way you can help the trans and queer community on the island:

The other day I cleaned off the front glass of my aquarium so of course my nerite snail decided to rebel. I found him on the floor about a foot away from the tank; luckily it hadn’t been long because he went back to scooting around once I gently plopped him on top of the driftwood.

hey so lots going on i know but this right here is a whole fucking slow motion ongoing tragedy

America vs Cuba: 65 Yrs of Sanctions. Starvation. Invation. Washington had one goal since 1959. Destroy Cuba. A declassified US government memo said it in writing. Bring about hunger, desperation, and overthrow of government. That was the plan. It never changed. www.facebook.com/reel/1539218...

Oldie but goodie thread on anti-confederate resistance in the South:

Someone posted yesterday about how the language used around AI was that of forcefulness & not consent. It was all "you have to use this" "It's happening whether you like it or not" "Embrace it or suffer". And that it was very techbro, because their products loathe consent, & so do they as humans

This is so not the point here but "technology is neutral" is one of the biggest lies of the modern era. What is the neutral use of a gas chamber? Oh wait there fucking isn't one, technology can be structurally, materially evil because that's what it's designed for Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Anyway. I’m still boycotting Target. And I think more people should join me.

Today the EPA proposed repealing limits on multiple types of “forever chemicals” in drinking water. If finalized, the Trump administration proposal would end drinking water limits for four toxic PFAS. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Feel kind of sad about not interacting with #perfumesky and #fragrancesky much. Since the start of this year I’ve been dealing with various sicknesses that have left me wrecked for weeks at a time and have of course taken my nose out with it. Currently on week three of my latest illness.

@ethanscorey.bsky.social and I created a database of every congress member who has received money from ICE’s top contractors, either through company PACs or executives. Published with @theappeal.org and @inthesetimes.com.

This is an important thread, but I really wanted to highlight this particular post. Those of us who don’t experience transmisogyny really need to stop writing off trans women and fem’s experience pre-coming out as “male socialization”. It’s cruel and just plain inaccurate.

Just in case you forgot: The current administration in the US aims to penalize or entirely stop SSI benefits for disabled people living at home. That means that 400,000 Americans could lose crucial benefits. Spread the word.

Nothing like a quickly approaching wedding to make me freak the fuck out about formalwear. What’s a five ft tall, atypically proportioned genderfucked individual who has had some major life expenses come up and is strapped for cash supposed to do?

I’ve had a busy morning so now I’m going into critter mode by listening to Mort Garson’s “Plantasia” album while lying down on a heating pad.

I’m playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons right now and I wanted to gift Pippy these green culottes and accidentally clicked on the fucking AXE instead and gifted her that. She obviously didn’t like it and now I can’t give her gifts anymore 😭

If Trump takes Cuba I can fucking guarantee you that it’ll become a giant casino Epstein Island 2.0. I am not diminishing the kind of poverty and suffering Cubas are experiencing at this moment but pre-Castro there was exploitation and corruption that the US was orchestrating and they want it back.
