we need to come up with $300 by Monday or they're going to auction our storage space we're two queer, forty something transsexual, SA surviving, former sex workers and we're active community members in meat space and the internet™️ love you whether you give or boost or ignore entirely xoxo

Today I am providing a free link to DO NO HARM—first in a series about how #medicine fails #women (by which I mean all who identify + acknowledge how the system fails those it *codes* as women despite how they identify). #cancer #breastcancer #recovery brandy-schillace.medium.com/do-no-harm-6...

how fucking awful do you have to be to get fired for cause from the Trump DOJ? christ this town is a joke

I asked Fatma if she had any photos of Lolo and she said she was shy to share them (which I told her was fine) but then sent me this sweet one to share ❤️

ugh. i have a sick. please let it not be covid. i did that once & i prefer to never again.

no. just fucking no.

my birthday is not for another 6 months, but if anyone wants the early bird prize...

depends on the tub. if it's just a wee one like i have at home, i don't bother. if it's a tub with a luxurious amount of room to move around in, i will absolutely live dangerously.

that's so weird like there wasn't a big interest in an inconvenience store

truer words...

Shereen told me that she cried when she watched the other little children in the neighborhood go to kindergarten because she can’t afford the cost due to her husband being seriously injured from an Israeli aircraft. She wanted to make sure everyone knew she started the fundraiser just for Ahmed ❤️

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

its almost a month since lia smith, a trans woman who was in college sports until trump took office and banned her from competing, committed suicide her death has a wikipedia page but has yet to receive an ounce of news coverage in @nytimes.com @washingtonpost.com @apnews.com @cnn.com

Thank you. I’ve gotten $30 so far which definitely helps, but it’s not enough. I deeply appreciate it and all the QS/RSs 💖🙏 #HelpFolksLive2025 #MABoost

holy shit Truba! (this is a hockey post)

a song isn’t just a song

sometimes the people you looked up to as a kid don't turn out to be the worst people on the planet.

Del Taco has an offering for the GLP-1 crowd - the Micro Meal. a mini burrito, a handful of fries & a single donut hole for $2.99. i even almost finished it. i hope other places follow their lead.

I have one spoken for and 19 slots left!!

Hey rest of the United States!Head’s up! New Mexico oilman Steve Pearce is going to be nominated to lead the BLM. Millions of acres of pristine BLM land is vulnerable to mining & oil exploitation. Unleashed Steve will destroy our public lands. Call your reps and senators and block his appointment.

I hope everybody understands that the people who say we can't have anybody better than Harris, Pritzker, Newsom, etc. are lying because THEY don't want anybody better.

Don’t think ppl understand the terror the Feds are unleashing on the streets of LA right now. Roving patrols targeting vulnerable individuals. It’s horrible. There’s no one coming to save us except ourselves.

My brand new book Song of Spores is just $4.99 on the Kindle! A fun space opera adventure that's also very trans, queer and intersex (like me). So um, *now* might be a good time to pick it up! Spread the word! Costs less than an iced matcha latte 😆 amzn.to/47ES674 (Associate link)

Hurricane Melissa wreaked havoc in my birth nation of Jamaica. Reported: "The University of Miami with the US NOAA measured wind speeds from start to finish across Jamaica with the weather aircraft named Kermit. The maximum wind gust speeds were 252mph and maximum sustained winds were 185 mph..."

Just because we beat them doesn’t mean we should continue to let billionaires spend whatever they want on elections.

also, kinda local but good politics news - the city of Huntington Beach's Voter ID law lost in appeals court. i imagine the city council will continue to waste taxpayer money in pursuing this, but they've been handed a defeat for now.

Big day for people who care about other people

So many times SO MANY TIMES I have said I don't trust any politician who throws trans people and immigrants under the bus. Look at this dude. LOOK AT THIS. He's here for ALL OF US. There is NO EXCUSE for any politician who doesn't step up like this. No excuse.

EXPEDITIOUSLY AT LOUD VOLUME

all of this (politics stuff) & Cutter Gauthier nets a hat trick, too!

Brother Mamdani straight up called out his support of Immigrants and Trans people with no hesitation or mealy mouthedness

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

yesssssss

🧵 👇🏽 tl:dr: call your Democrats in the Senate and tell them to NOT cave in. Any "bipartisan negotiation" that leads to Democrats caving now will kill a LOT of people before it's all done.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

now let's do them all up in Starfleet uniforms

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

these are gorgeous!

i'm not sure how i was so fortunate as to get my copy of this beautiful book early. regardless, it's a delightful & ultimately hopeful novel with queer & disability representation. a tale you can get lost in for a few hours & come back to the fight refreshed.

ojalá ojalá ojalá

Is Spanberger better than the Republican alternative? Sure. But we won’t defeat fascism with just “better than the alternative,” and the fascism isn’t going away. The Democratic Party needs to stand FOR something more than a return to the normal that was part of how we got here in the first place.

i learned a new word this week. allodynia i really wish i hadn't had cause to use it. it sucks when it's cold out but wearing cothes hurt. (i bet this post gets deprioritised for being negative)

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR supportjamaica.gov.jm

Lia Smith, a transgender athlete who was on Middlebury's swimming and diving team, was just found dead by suicide this week. www.them.us/story/lia-sm...

can we get Chotiner to interview Newsom wrt trans people? or just in general? pretty please?
