TRUE TRANS TIMELINE

💀

my “not the gestapo” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt and if you don’t stop asking them, i’ll have you disappeared.

I'm not joking

Weird little guys is the scariest podcast on the internet

I don’t mean to gate keep the Darién, but the migrants and my Emberá friends deserve more. Unless I missed it, the Emberá aren’t even mentioned here. This isn’t particular to this piece or author, indigenous people often don’t get recognized enough in border coverage in the USA either.

The legendary NYTimes... reporting on what late night says about the president. I mean what they said was true, and funny. But come on? Don't they have better things to spend their reporting dollars on? Insider trading from yesterday perhaps?

if only anyone had said this for years

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

As much as I am glad that Strom Thurmand's record is broken - everyone does know that Cory Bookers speech didn't filibuster anything, didn't block any action, didn't do...well...anything, right? It was more than the nothing the Democrats have done so far, but not by much

For a long time I've had the goal to be the kind of person that would have held and protected me as a kid. It's interesting that I may never really know if I am that person, the test may never show so blatantly. But I sure hope I am, I hope I've been that for someone.

I just love this. What are they fucking automating? We can't imagine the weird, stupid fucked up ways that this is going to break our lives that won't get found because these dumbasses think a fucking chatbot is a replacement for a person with actual training

I am le tired

I'm horny. It's been a few days. It's kind of becoming a problem

I've been thinking about what I'm going to call American Derangement Syndrome: 1. Money always wins 2. Always be growing 3. Actions towards 1 & 2 are right and good

My partner just told me I look like Keira Knightley today. Might be the best compliment I've ever gotten.

Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’ Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.

I've been busy doing mutual aid work almost everyday. I keep thinking I'll come back home after several hours in the community and things won't be so crazy. It's me being online a lot that made things seem like a mess. Nope.

I’ve heard from a source today of USAID funding being stopped at hospitals and clinics for refugees and personnel being recalled or told to stop work resulting in people not getting life saving medical treatment as a result.

My panna cotta doesn't look as nice as my pie, but it tastes great!

It's been a long 2 weeks. So I baked. Cherry pie, apple pie, vegetarian pot pie, and panna cotta. A good way to ignore the noise.

Viva la revolución motherfuckers Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Yesterday we saw a dramatic decrease (maybe 5% of normal showed) in our immigrant families getting food at the pantry where I work. The idea that fucking raids are keeping people from eating pisses me off. We do everything we can to protect our guests, but I don't blame them for being scared.

For real, how many people has Trump personally put out of a job in a week as president? Just pausing grants & DEIA government workers... I think I saw an estimate that DEIA workers alone was a couple hundred thousand?

I have a Tesla and have had it for like 7 years. I've internally debated what to do now. Part of me wants to drop it off in the smart part of town and let it get molotov-ed. Then I can be like "Oh darn. Insurance please?"

It really seems that voice training is going to be important now. 😮‍💨

Holy shit! He did this in public, in front of a Trump crowd, on Inauguration Day. Cancel all government contracts with him immediately !

justice alito, make me editor of PornHub and let me bundle insane fanfiction about the Illuminati alongside hardcore pornography and i will save this nation

I've been thinking a lot about the concept of functional freedom vs formal freedom (thanks David Graeber). I've been thinking for a long time about how we love to praise wealth in America. But I just can't get past: if wealth doesn't create functional freedom, then it isn't wealth. Its a shackle

In light of the fact that I only see large groups of trans people in one place when we're doing mutual aid. I suggest we adopt the term mutual as our collective noun. As in "there's a mutual handing out food today," or "this rave is just one big mutual."

I'm just so grateful that after like 20 years of legal battles I got an "additional settlement" from Equifax. This $19.33 on top of the previous ~$19 really makes me feel like justice is done. A $425mil fine for effectively all information for all Americans is definitely reasonable.

Across this country, working people are fed up with CEOs and corporations working us to death so they can continue to get richer. We’re with Starbucks & Amazon workers demanding a fair contract now & an end to all unfair labor practices! #NoContractNoCoffee #SolidaritySeason

We really need bring back the reminder to everyone "Don't feed the trolls." Yes I'm old and I remember when this was a common statement all over forums and online interactions to remind people that a lot of these comments are just rage bait.

When the surviving revolutionaries from the Paris Commune were exiled to New Caldonia, the indigenous Kanak people revolted against the French. All of the communards chose privilege and fought with the French except Louise Michel. I think about that a lot.

Reading ~1915 Klan literature for research and you forget how little they needed euphemism back then. Most racists today pretend to be saying something else. I'm not sure which is better?

I was trying to create a Facebook account for research purposes - deleted mine like 15 yrs ago - and I just keep getting rejected. No reason why just says no and that I can't appeal. Wtf?!

this is terrifying. i am in large part an anarchist because the now too-long history of the state shows its very existence is antithetical to queer liberation. may we one day be free all of us

BREAKING: Amazon workers in NYC are going on strike right before Christmas—the company's busiest time. The first unionized Amazon warehouse is going to shut down in a historic walkout. Workers plan to hit the company where it hurts to win their first union contract. www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1k...

Just had a guy catch a glance at me after walking around a corner and he says "Wow are you a model?" That felt good. Never expected to experience that when I transitioned at 40

ATTENTION: @australianlabor.bsky.social I am led to believe Labor's party room has seen some graffiti that upset everyone. Why not just do what the party room already does so well. #auspol #StopIsrael #FreePalestine

I did it. I called my representatives today. I hate interacting with them. #rojava www.defendrojava.org

Reading "Cartography of Revolutionary Anarchism" by Michael Schmidt. Really enjoying it so far.

The UN General Assembly passed a resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the immediate, unconditional release of all hostages.

Second knowledge drop - the Nazis prosecuted / persecuted transgender people under a synthesis of / piecemeal of laws, ones which targeted homosexuality, public obscenity, breaches of public order, etc.

remember kids, snitching doesn't pay
