The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of global military carbon emissions are from the United States.

Working class people cooling their apartments with air conditioning is not the problem.

The only compelling material theory of politics left is the Dwarf Theory, which is that if your treasure horde is too big, you get the gold sickness and declare war on the androgynous looking fairy types and nature just because they are there.

There are currently more kids in Texas with measles than there are transgender collegiate athletes in all of America.

Guess which one they want you to focus on.

I would love to see coming generations of queer and trans kids not have to spend their adult lives working through the trauma of being queer and trans kids. I wanna sit in my rocking chair and marvel at their lives.

A text based visual reads:
Trying to get out of your head and all there is to worry about?

What about thinking about what you DO want and then spending time to meet your body in what feels good?

Sometimes a part of birthing the world we want into existence requires fucking about it. Which can be solitary, but is never in isolation.

As spring springs all around us and holidays of new life are bursting forth like buds, as they do each year, our own creative and reproductive powers are connected with the rest of the world.

May pleasure and connection in your body sprout and grow strong towards the light.

These legislators actually have no idea what they are on about. They repeat lines of panic doctrine that have been fed to them. Their fear of science, diversity and personal sovereignty comes from a place of fear; a death grip of a power structure that has run its course.

Looking to guest on some podcasts in the upcoming season.

Tell me what shows you listen to that have guests on to muse about gender, pleasure, grief, healing, magic, paradigm shifts, skilling up and/or dreaming our way into a better world.

I originally wrote this piece in 2016 and it can be found in full text version on my blog

In the face of attempts to eradicate us, I wanted to bring it back to life

We have always been here
We always will be
We have found ways to be across time

While we fight for our rights to exist with legitimacy; we know that we will always exist, and we will always find ways

You have tried on names
You have tried on pronouns 

You have looked in the mirror from different angles and with your eyes half open, letting your heartbrain fill in the details of something that isn't visible to others yet

You have gazed into, maybe even explored the "other side" of the clothing store
You have contemplated who a grown up version of you could become
You may have tried to bind or tuck, even if at home, alone, in secret 
You may never do those things. It doesn't make you less trans

Trans is a beautiful range of identities and expressions that involve creatively transcending the expectations we were born into

It doesn't require hormones 
It doesn't require surgery 
It doesn't require electrolysis 
It doesn't require passing 
It doesn't require a diagnosis 
Some of us may pursue some or all of these things

Our choice to do so or not is exactly that, our choice 
Choosing to not pursue such things doesn't make you less trans

Look forward 
Look forward to growing more and more into yourself every day
Recognize that this process will be fed
It may be fed by medical interventions 

It will also be fed by reading books that articulate a part of your experience you hadn't found words for

It will also be fed by trees and gusts of wind and forest creatures that see you and respect your unique and beautiful self

It will also be fed by nurturing relationships with other people who are learning to live and live as themselves 

It will also be fed by good night sleeps

It will also be fed by clothes that fit just as you need them to
It will also be fed by your body moving ecstatically, translating music into movement 
It will also be fed by the patience and generosity you can grant your younger selves 

You will continue to grow into yourself 
It will be a process 
Sometimes it might hurt
Sometimes it will involve other people 
Sometimes it will be something you do alone

Trans people have always existed 
We have used many words to describe ourselves 
We have existed the world over in almost every time and place in recorded history 
We existed before the stories started being written down
Trans people existed before medical interventions did
Most of the trans people who make up our ancestry of path didn't have a medical system to serve as the arbiter of their realness
Some of them modified their bodies
Many did not

You understand yourself to be trans 
You see that your body and identity and presentation may change 
This is all labour you have engaged in
It is a big part of transition 

You are not "pre" self exploration 
You are in it

You may even feel as if you are drowning in it
You are not "pre" internal struggle of knowing who you are

Having a goal - like increasing my endurance for fucking, has been a motivational thing for me. Especially if/when I can do active things with people I am fucking and then we notice our capacity increasing together.

Chronic illness life is looking forward to something for months only for an illness or flare up to hit you or someone in your care and derail plans.

How do you deal with the balancing of disappointment, withdrawal, despair, anger at a non-concerned "post-pandemic" society, anxiety and isolation?
