Winter has entered the chat ❄️

Happy last night of Chanukah! 🕎

Unfortunately they’re right about sleeping in silk bonnets

Just noticed that my vial of estradiol expires after Trump is out of office 🙂

I forgot to say I turned 35 😇

Why can I picture every hiking trail between Seattle and Snoqualmie Pass and how they connect but not what color furniture is in my bedroom 😵‍💫

“Other sports”

Sixteen days ago, our little man was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer. It has been horrible watching his body fail so quickly without his personality ever even hinting at fading, the cruelest reminder that nothing in our lives is either fair or promised.

I kinda get it tbh

POV: you’re Twilight (2008) and I’m watching you for the first time

Me now that it’s dark from 4pm to 9am in Seattle

Today was better day! Finally got him to take all his pills by hiding them in beef teriyaki and he actually developed an appetite by the end of the night 🙂 We are fighting a losing battle, but his personality is still there and he still wants to go on long walks so it’s not time to let go yet

This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud

Trans people aren’t under the bus; we’re driving it.

🚨The Senate just passed the bill to release the Epstein files by unanimous consent. It now heads to Trump’s desk for his signature or veto.

The rush to denounce a young woman for the appearance of having used sex to extract juicy gossip from powerful men sure is interesting

What the fuck

One small piece of good news for trans people: the Trump administration seems to be backing off its threatening language about invalidating X marker passports following a New York Times story.

Today’s the first day he won’t eat at all, even pieces of hot dog. I think we’re just about out of time with our little man 😭💔

Kinda wild that the high water mark of the MAGA movement might turn out to be getting Jimmy Kimmel taken off the air for roughly one business day

The Democratic Party is far from perfect, but they are the coalition that has invited us in. To lose what we have won inside the Democratic Party would be catastrophic . I am a democrat and I will never stop fighting for trans liberation both in this country and in our party.

Actual groomers are running the government and suddenly she doesn’t have anything to say

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 3 DESPERATELY needs a storyline to carry the show other than “Jesse maybe kissed a guy on a reality show a year ago,” they’re missing all the most compelling cast members and it’s sagging

I’ve been really struggling with anticipatory grief all week. Meanwhile today my little guy just seemed happy that both his people are giving him so many tummy rubs and hand feeding him turkey. There’s a lesson there, but it’s so hard knowing whats coming.

Our dog was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer on Monday. There’s not much we can do besides keep him comfortable, so I’ve been letting him go wherever he wants on walks this week. Tonight he led us straight to his vet’s office.

I was in college when Sarah McBride posted her coming-out essay in HuffPost. I was closeted and could barely imagine living openly. She gave me the courage to try. Standing beside the first trans Member of Congress on the House floor was surreal. It really does get better.

One of my biggest beefs is when people belittle Representation as unimportant. Do you have any fucking idea how much less terrible my mental health might have been if there was a ton of positive representation of homosexuality in the media????

This is the first month of Trump II that feels like his first term

“would you like photos of donald and girls in bikinis in my kitchen?” -Jeffrey Epstein

*wokely* “only white dudes should hold public office”

Kind of wild that the conventional approach to treating a cold is to take a dissociative hallucinogen that is also an SNRI and you buy it at the grocery store

Anecdotally it feels like Elon cranked the anti trans hate even higher on Twitter after election night

Really intense movie but one weird thing about it is that their casualty estimates were exaggerated by a factor of ten

Rainy night at home and I’m watching House of Dynamite 😳

it's weird that the government requires gender identification on passports at all, and wilder for them to claim to know what it should be better than the passport-holder! this is so purely punitive

On the Big Beautiful Blowout and what it means for the rainbow panic: www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/rig...

1. The Supreme Court just let Trump’s order banning trans people from updating the sex marker on their passports go into effect. If you were planning to change yours, that window is likely closed until at least 2029.

Today in "trans women really are women"

Fuck.

Presidential Walk of Shame

Truly the most shameless grifter in politics today

Every “it’s so over” contains the seeds of “we’re so back” if you really think about it

Transphobia only ever worked because it gave child brains in adult bodies someone to abuse for no reason. But bullies get bored when they do it for amusement. It’s like a video game they get tired of playing. This is how it goes when you build on nothing but childishness.

Right-wing media told Republicans anti-trans politics would deliver a winning coalition. 2025 races show they misunderstood why the message ever worked.

now’s a good time for Lisa Murkowski to do the funniest thing imaginable

This will never happen, but I want to see a hundred thinkpieces about how Republicans must moderate on trans issues to avoid alienating voters

Fox News airing a clip attacking Republicans for withholding SNAP during the shutdown...we're reaching critical levels of "it's so over"

Mike Johnson is living in his own little world

Oh, and after all the millions of dollars spent on advertising, the harmful policies and all the demagoguery... Stop. Picking. On. Trans. Kids. The Rs lost to me four times in six years. That should've been a hint. But apparently it wasn't, so the voters made their thoughts crystal clear tonight.
