What's been done to those cis women isn't just "degendering", it's an attempt to call them dangerous freaks. There's a very gendered angle here.

It's why they call trans women "men in women's spaces", trans men "misled girls", and nonbinary folks an "agenda".

Our existence threatens their power.

I mean, it's not *just* trans women, but yeah, trans women end up being the scary example because we threaten the boundaries of womanhood to those who police it from the outside. And yes, this policing has always been a part of racial and colonial frameworks of supremacy as well as patriarchal ones.

Oh of course not. It's all just a new way to slur us. Even when it's applied to cis women it's *about* us. This is why transphobia (and the supremacy of an assumed sex and gender binary more broadly) is harmful to *everyone*.

I mean, yeah. Saying things like AFAB or AMAB (assigned female/male at birth) respectively are more accurate, and also capture how intersex folks are shoved into a gender box from the moment of their birth.

"Name assigned at birth" would also be more accurate, but as you said, that's not the point.

Omg that looks amazing! I haven't had ethiopian food in so long but the flavors are great and the injera brings everything together 😋

Woo congrats! 😊

Hey Carney, stop using labour actions as a smokescreen and put more money into Canada's Postal Service.

It's not the union's fault you want to axe CPS and outsource to private companies. They are literally just fighting for their job security. So stop acting like a CEO and start being a PM.

If anyone ever tells you "kindness never helped anybody", kick them in the dick for me.

You should watch Gundam Witch of Mercury if you haven't already :3

I can't be the first to have suggested this.

A screenshot of an X post by @OliviaJulianna sarcastically asking, "Remember when Donald Trump sent a birthday card to a pedophile saying they had a lot in common?" Below it, a retweet from @TrumpWarRoom (18h) humorously notes, "Remember when Hakeem Jeffries got caught photoshopping his waist? x.com/townhallcom/st..." The retweet includes three images: two showing a man in a white shirt and dark pants with an unusually narrow waist, and one of Hakeem Jeffries in a suit with an American flag background.

Release the Epstein Files.

Thank you, I needed to see this ♡

Growing up around a lot of religious people, one thing I’ve grown to have very little tolerance for is the sort of Christian whose view on queer people is, “I may not agree with it but I still love you!” Because ultimately that love is meaningless if your actions contribute to harm towards us

I really needed to see this today. ♡

When you are feeling weary or despairing, remember that there are people in every corner of the world taking life affirming action in the direction of more justice. The fact that you can't see it all is a comfort because it means there is an excess of positive actions happening all at once. #onwards

Most folks who have the means to leave aren't migrants, or trans folks living in poverty, or disabled folks enmeshed in care webs that can't just uproot, but blue heart dems who feel uncomfortable.

If you're an ally, this is when you prove it. Reach out to folks in your community and help them.

It's okay to feel things deeply, even if it's sad things. Take the time you need to process, then figure out what comes next. ♡

I don't want to limit myself or anyone else. I want to create space for all kinds of femininity, and recognize the possibilities of what it means to look femme I see in others.

Most of all, girlies, I never want to tell you what you need to look like to "pass".

Why pass when you can exceed? ♡

Just pointing out that flapper, an iconic 20s look that reads today as high femme, was criticized in its time for looking "too boyish".

I don't have qualms with personal taste if folks enjoy conventional looks but is this what we want to teach others? That this is all femininity is? All it can be?

Here's a thought re: transfemmes advising other transfemmes how to look feminine.

Are we making space to expand what femininity looks like or reproducing harmful patriarchal tropes?

Are we helping or projecting our own fears of not being feminine enough onto others?

Wearing a mask is not “living in fear”, it’s adapting to reality.

Covid changed things. It’s a multi system vascular virus that spreads through the air.

Its killed & disabled millions.

A well fitted respirator is one of the best ways to live your life while safeguarding long term health.

Panel 1: character reclines on a bed while holding a switch 1 console saying, “ah time to sit and play one of my childhood faves! Let’s relax and forget our worries for a little bit~” Panel 2: a ps1 Cloud sprite faces away with a large sword on his back saying, “corporations are destroying our planet, valuing profit over lives and morals. Every day is a struggle to hope and fight back.” Panel 3: the character from panel 1 stares down at the screen with a tear falling down their cheek with a blank smile saying, “oh dear”

Journal comics- escapism failed aka an excuse to draw ps1 graphics

What I love about Ireland is that we’re so principled, in the space of 2 years we’ve gone from the Eurovision Song Contest being the most unmissable event of the year (except maybe for the Late Late Toy Show) to us rubbing shards of broken glass onto our retinas rather than watch even a second of it

It's Hat Joel, the Joel with a Hat.

Two steps if you're feeling shitty:

1) Listen to the album "There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Avenue" by Lana Del Rey.

2) Cry as needed.

If you have a cat who likes to cuddle you when you're sad this is even better.
