They have already dropped 200,000 tons of explosives on the people of Gaza. Do you realize what that means? It is the equivalent of 13 nuclear bombs like the one that destroyed Hiroshima. And yet, the world remains silent while an entire population is being wiped out.

Two fucking years 💔

the way to do that is to create as many systems of care as possible with orbital pathways into these systems that pull as many of us as possible away from the black hole of power at the center of this galaxy looking for every reason to seek the wanton destruction of every trans particle in existence

free gretchen again

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Hey @moderation.bsky.app what the everliving fuck?! Who the fuck is this targeting of Palestinians serving right now? Is this seriously what you wanted to do with your life? Do you wake up every morning wondering how many rugs you can pull from under people trying to survive a genocide?

Hey @mcbride.house.gov,‬ how am I doing? Am I voting hard enough to survive yet? Ok, just let me know when we win the next election cause I'll be too busy ruthlessly surviving to notice

I fucking hate the rancid-vibes-to-nice-people-leaving feedback loop that’s going on right now

Hi all. My friend Alaa's account was deleted, but she has a new account at @mamatwins.bsky.social. She asked me to tell all her friends about her new account so we can all follow her again. I'm also going to share a comic about her story.

guy following all the biggest fascism sympathizers on bluesky: literally the dril wise man tweet

And what then - in this theoretical world where the only way for dems to win elections is to abandon trans folks to the wolves? Will they fight for us in 2 years? In 4? In 20? How many other oppressed will they trample once they learn that the road to power is paved with dead minorities?

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

if you don't have solidarity with trans people who have medical needs please jump in a fucking volcano

Waiting patiently until it’s my turn to complain…

I posted more than usual today and I’m ready to settle back into invisibility. But before I do, I want to say thanks again for letting me see you all. It changed my life and I will be forever grateful. Never let them erase us

I realized I wanted to be a girl in the mid 80s when I was 4. My mother showed me a picture of her ex and said a doctor had given her an operation to make her a woman. The operation sounded seedy. The doctor sounded like a mad scientist. It was implied that the operation had caused my mom's divorce

Make the best of it? Make the fucking best of it? How can he - I mean, WHAT?

And here I was thinking that my years of heavy LSD use were mainly an attempt to invoke a gender transmutation

me: bathing in the discourse me: letting rivulets of discourse roll off my skin me: watching the last of the discourse go down the drain me: reaching for a towel me, whispering: good night bluesky

fuck yeah

I'm planning on writing another Patreon column Sunday, but I also have another idea for a blog post. Right now, I'm at 675 paid subscribers, if I get to 690 by end of day today, I'll write a bonus piece tomorrow!

The cloture vote in the senate on a trans sports ban failed due to united Democratic opposition (needed 60 votes). When it matters on legislation, Democrats still have not abandoned trans folks.

thank you for all your work on this emily, and to everyone who called! we have a long road ahead, but every successful fight is a victory

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time. S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.* short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...

This argument drives me so fucking nuts. The number of trans people in the US is on par with the number of Jews, Muslims and like Mormons, and the dickwads would NEVER claim that the consequences of the infringement of their rights are literally in the negative.

by embracing preparedness, you are building mental and physical resiliency for yourself and your community. agency is, essentially, the opposite of trauma. creating plans and taking steps towards those plans is, in some ways, more important than actually succeeding at those plans. always be trying.

This would also be illegal. Trump cannot criminalize conduct via executive order, and he certainly can't reinterpret state criminal law. This is intended most of all to terrify people. If you are a teacher, consult an attorney for the laws in your state. But don't comply in advance.

Y'all it's month #2 and we've already hit our 2nd milestone for @distributeaid.org's HRT Toolkit! 🥳 🏳️‍⚧️ In light of all the chaos that comes with regime change in the US, I'd like to share a bit of behind-the-scenes-progress and positive news. Check out the $40k HRT Toolkit milestone update below 👇🧵

transition has been mostly DIY and community-organized since forever. when you're ready, figure out what you can offer and what you need. talk in real life, use signal, get creative, don't get caught. they can't break us in a way that matters!!!! I love you.

hi, cis folks! meet HB28. it's a sports ban on trans athletes. but actually, it's the first step to something much worse—see below. 45 sec call scripts for democrats & republicans in congress follow. if you've been saying you'd stand with trans people, now's the time.🧵 legiscan.com/US/bill/HB28...

Ugh. somehow I missed this until it was on @techdirt.bsky.social just now. PLEASE CALL YOUR REPS. I'm gonna be on the phone again tomorrow. Sigh. This could be really really bad. Trump's nominee for FTC chair (who'd be enforcing this) has promised a lot of "fighting back against the trans agenda."

this is absolutely not feeble! this is real. very real. realer than bigotry & book burning & bomb threats. as long as there is living memory of trans people thriving—and there are always trans people thriving—for other trans people to see, it’s a jet of full force hydrogen waiting for a spark.

When government uses bureaucracy to brutalize a people—when they try to hide oppression behind the normalcy of government—any representative worth their office must stand in opposition. Thank you, Te Pāti Māori.

take care of yourselves. and each other. make breakfast. call your friends. today is wednesday. the sun is shining

take care of yourselves. and each other. make breakfast. call your friends. today is wednesday. the sun is shining

Every single person with even the tiniest sliver of responsibility for this horrible act, from SCOTUS down to the lowest bureaucrat is an abject monster

Not really sure what counterargument you could offer to this point from state rep Ruwa Romman. Are anti-Trump Republicans in any way a bigger part of the coalition than pro-Palestine voters?

Multiples billionaires, a border patrol officer, Donald Trump's press secretary, war criminals, an accused rapist who is in photos with Jeffrey Epstein's underage victims... were all allowed to speak at the DNC. But not anyone representing Palestine
