You have to do *a lot* more work to undo what you've done at that point. You can't just be like "well, I think most of you are un-passing weirdos but the far right even hates ME, a good and proper centrist cis-passing woman, so I want back in the club now!"

You're gonna have to earn forgiveness.

there is also whether you've always had Lexi with Alex or not? if not, then maybe it's on a femme-ward path to Sophie? One also shouldn't underrate being unstoppable. I mean, right?

well, one thing is that Sophie is more high femme than Alex. Alex is a bit more polyvalent. I def think you'd wear Sophie well, but there are aspects of both that are you. Maybe just add Sophie? you could like be Sophie Alex [possible name idk] Temple and choose by feel?

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

I took this picture during the 10/18 #NoKings march in NYC and I can't stop thinking about this awesome person.

After Trump is gone, I hope someone will tear down his ballroom to prevent it from becoming a shrine to him.

Spotify stock graph showing a decrease of $28 in one day (Friday 10/24), the day after Spotify’s boycott became a trending topic on Bluesky. This is a roughly 5% decrease in value.

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads.

These billionaires only speak one languageβ€”moneyβ€”so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

@juliaserano.bsky.social aside from Whipping Girl, Excluded, and Sexed Up, are there places that you'd recommend for amassing readings on femme movements in the US from the 1990s until now? Thanks for any thoughts/leads :-)

This is such an important perspective on learning and ability, and it applies to all sorts of "functioning"/ability schemes; the refusal to adjust the status quo patterns creates the problem, not a person's difference. Although, don't read the New York Times. Don't click their content: screenshot it
