Trump is incorrect - Starmer is Churchill, in the way that he excused massacres and cosied up to a fascist dictator before realising said fascist dictator would start a world war

Scattered captures
In countless blind eyes
Numerous as the stars
Bright as shadows
Playing like toy stages
Of guitar strings
Actors as authors
To countless roles
Through peaks and valleys
Grey matters, built with visions
Capable of many things
Able of few things

In the last month, Marin has had their gender affirming surgery pulled out of reach, and now they’ve been laid off.

I’m doing what I can to support them here but if anyone has any help they can offer

I can’t bear to see them lose hope like this

Help a Black trans kid afford care In the face of NHS failings, Isaac and his family need your help to afford trans healthcare.

Please share - and donate if you can!

I'm helping to raise money for Isaac - a Black trans kid seeking vital healthcare in England.

Isaac is lucky enough to have a very supportive family, but they have all been screwed time and time again by the NHS and UK authorities.

Any contribution will help!

There are so many ways to do good. Small ways, just little daily things. Helping a stranger with something, helping a neighbor, a friend, listening, being present. Endless ways to improve things in quiet ways. And you never need to mention them. Just do them because they are good to do.

Honestly, just don't call yourself an ally at all. The word has been tarnished and used by performative liberals.

Just be kind to everyone, take no shit, and fuck up Nazis. That's it.

Spring arrives in spirals
Of snow and lions
And for these sights
The mind in winter
Built for slumber
Has yet to properly bloom

Muscles, glass, hair, a hide
Even eyes evade the warming light

Of course, the matters change
Muscles crack, hair becomes silk
Even with the mind of winter
Frees itselfs
