new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough.

Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

thrilled to announce that last week i started a new job as a bullet engraver for the FBI

and the societal response seems to be further entrenching the control of The Family over The Child-Property as if you wake up at age 18 with sexual desires for the first time

and that phone is also probably tracking your location and giving your parents live updates, so it’s not like you can easily sneak away. how can sex feel safe in such circumstances? it never did for me until i got to be an independent adult no longer worried my parents would find everything

& depends on the kid but when your entire life is phone (this is not a critique, my entire life was phone as a teenager) and that phone is surveilled by your parents and has you on social media where you’re watched by your peers, how can you find safe outlets for sexual expression and exploration?

Vigilantes lynching and murdering poc in police custody was a core part of Jim Crow, this form of terror is old in Texas

my family was welcomed into this country by people who had numbers tattooed on their arms

Welcome to church. Jesus will get a Wario someday. Watch out

I am magic. I can turn anything I do for you into a lever, anything you need help with into a permanent handicap, anything I do to you into a lost memory. Do you love me back?

Since the headlines can’t be honest, I will do the work of clarifying that this article illuminates how ICE is routinely kidnapping children as a method of extortion

*trying to make conversation* wow i love your books. they all have such nice covers *not wanting to seem shallow* which of course means jack shit

The lack of internet isn’t just inconvenient it silences us. It stops us from sharing our pain and asking for help

see people who froth at the mouth over “trans butches” meaning only tme butches on T. whole treatises on experiences of lesbianism and transness without any mention of trans lesbians.

idk it is important to me that lesbianism is connected to womanhood even if i myself am a lesbian but not a woman. bc people will bend over backwards to find the perfect words for lesbianism to include someone like me when they could not give two shits about trans lesbians

“non-men loving non-men” just describes none of what i mean by lesbianism even if it is meant to be most inclusive to theys like me

which also gets me with how people want to quantify lesbian identity into one singular meaning understood universally. like i am so uninterested in the perfect definition of lesbianism! i’d much rather go and live life as a lesbian!

love what little linguistics i’ve learned from the internet and seeing you talk about linguistics on here. like language is fundamentally about communication and to prioritize words as discrete units of precise meaning over all else is to suggest our lives and experiences are subservient to language

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FALLEN WORLD FOR RECOGNIZING THE PALESTINIAN STATE; NOW MAY THEY RECOGNIZE THE PALESTINIAN HUMAN BEING.

gotta identify all the traffic lights in a picture to get into heaven; call that the raptcha

I keep thinking of all the soft boiled liberal defenses of this genocide from 2 years ago, how many smart people i saw on here defend it, the lies, the rationalizations, all of it. It was obvious within days and I wish this humility would actually leave a mark upon those who dutifully defended it.

anyway we deserved to smoke blue american spirits on her porch and laugh and cry and sing

close to the knives was her favorite book. transition is always a relief. destination means death to me.

i promised myself that when i graduated, i would read with her. i didn’t know it would never be. i couldn’t bend small town utah to our will. i couldn’t protect her from a sneering mormon society that wanted her dead or out of sight. those same neighbors hung trans ribbons after she died. too late!

we were just scared kids stuck at home all day, living vicariously through lesbianism as it could be posted and collaged and quoted and photographed onto a tumblr page. she always had her nose in a book - the last text convo we ever had included a picture of her recent stack of books.

i think of eve often these days. best friend/love of my life/guide in all things, and that hole will never really be filled. her laugh made times like this a lot easier. and yet this world is set on destruction of anyone like her.
