Fenway Health rolling over on youth transition care—and the studied reluctance of local healthcare leaders to acknowledge the implications of the reversal—is one of the things that makes me most afraid. It’s pretty hard for me to trust the solidarity of *anyone* who isn’t trans these days.

Congratulations to everyone who said it would get this bad. Your prize is watching everyone who disagreed now claim no one could have predicted it would get this bad.

“Content” also insidiously shifts significance and validity to the platform, not the substance — content is contained, what defines content is the existence and form of the container

Ah yes, the "Thdpsssps"

This pride month, if you’re not plugged in, please take a moment to think about what you specifically can do to support trans kids under attack. I get asked all the time about steps people can take, so I hope at least one person takes this to heart. I’ll be adding throughout June. A thread.🧵

The Jamaica Plain brewery says “happy Pride”

I think what most people don’t see is that “the oppressors standards“ aren’t a fixed thing. They’re a tool. It’s not a point you can reach and then you get treated well. If you look at how women get treated who allegedly are conforming to this it’s pretty clear they’re still getting harmed.

This is my new career aspiration

Thanks @valisdheart.bsky.social for showing me baby’s first AI book club scam. Guess I’m a real author now!

This essay hit me really hard, because it describes the experiences common to so many trans people: not being able to live as anything but your true self, being locked out of your own true identity for decades, or failing to convince all the imaginary interlocutors yelling at you inside your head.

I love this book, this author, and this particular writing so very much. If you’re anywhere between on the gender spectrum or want to minister to those who do, this should be something your read again and again.

For Pride month, I want to share the preface to my book “Coal of Fire,” a personal essay about gender transition, Bible translation, and the manifold ways God names our difference as belovedness. (1/2)

We lost Jonathan Joss exactly One Year ago today. A neighbor burned his house, killed his dogs and shot him in the street for being Gay. Never forget Jonathan Joss. #KingOfTheHill #JohnRedcorn

This, right here, is really crucial. We're not at a stage of cultural acceptance yet where "gender-affirming" works as a universal thing that's equal for cis people and trans people. Society really, REALLY wants to affirm your assigned gender above all else.

Surely someone must have written a good piece about the current pretence that white cis women are most at risk from strangers (racialised, transed) rather than their own fathers, uncles, husbands and boyfriends? So weird to watch the pretend co-opting of some radical feminism without that truth.

I find it moving that Lynch's legacy in the queer community is now forever tied to the phrase "fix your hearts or die". It has become a rallying cry. It is bigger than him. It is bigger than Twin Peaks. It is beautiful.

LIFEHACK: if you’re a they/them and want to get consistently gendered correctly just start telling people you’re a trans woman 👍

Happy Pride!

Don’t worry, it will also cause you different problems

There’s one real answer to this and it’s cheese

Not just 2024–every year from 2014 to 2024 except for 2021 & 2022. Speaking for myself, this absolutely aligns with my experience.

you are responsible for your own emotional regulation

it's the rage, that's why.

I cannot emphasize enough that holding your new relationship up as an metonym for positive heterosexual dyads is a bad idea. I call it the Stella Principle: just don’t do it.

I don't care what chatgpt told you, babe, I'm in my medieval mystics era 💅

This new thing where I have an anxiety attack when I try to leave the house for church? This is not my favorite thing

god I wish Ed Markey were not 79 years old but he is absolutely still the superior choice to Seth fucking Moulton

In Easter Season, add Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

The total subordination and relativization of male and female to the measure of Christ is right there in the New Testament and early Christian history is just full of people rejecting their expected gender role and becoming martyrs for it. Still happens today!

Sick of the relentless adult content I see on Bluesky: back pain, interest rates, tax brackets, that noise you make when you stand-up sometimes.

As horrifying as this campaign of premeditated murder is, what might be even more disturbing is the utter indifference of Congress, the public and our allies to such a shocking and unapologetic obliteration of the many laws and norms against targeting civilians. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/31/w...

My theory is that porn either tends not to survive because it’s in heavy use, or gets ritualized and sublimated over time. Do we really think people weren’t jerking it to the Venus of Willendorf? Don’t answer that

This is how I sext:

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

This is pretty close to your ideal retreat center/hobby farm setup

Looksmaxxing dudes wish they could look like Patrick Swayze a guy who radiated positive masculinity and played a drag role at the height of his career and also you know fucking fine as hell

my fave anecdote about this is when bryan fuller wanted to show naked bodies from behind on hannibal, and s&p said he couldn't show butts. so he was like "what if i fill the buttcrack with blood" and they said sure

This is at least in part because good art arises from (among other things) the struggle to reconcile competing perspectives, values, or needs, and the symbolic representations thereof. Artists communicate the world in new ways, often as a way to bridge other sorts of difference in their lives.

Cannot wait to read this!!

I CAN OFFICIALLY SAY I'M GETTING PUBLISHED BY PAST-ITCH!!! Please give d a follow and please click on her post and repost it (don't just like it plz) so i can spread the word. Thank you all so much. I'm beyond beyond beyond excited about this.

"Average monk is hot" factoid just statistical error. Average monk is not hot. Hot Ekkehard, who lives in Saint Gall and causes over 10,000 unrequited infatuations per day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

I missed the Loud Boom. Sigh.

your cat uses the 'whatever reaction this gets' button to get whatever reaction it gets! I'm not even saying your cat is stupid! it's assessed the situation much more clearly than you have!

I love that there's incontroverible proof Talarico is straight in this picture and it isn't the girlfriend.

Why did you transition, right answers only God told me to
