This is why respectability politics was always a losing game. Nothing we do matters because it will always be an issue. There is no conforming or changing we can do.

We're back to the truly emboldened making efforts to put us "in our place". So don't tell us we're overreacting; never have been.

I write this for the trans girls in refugee camps, even when the world tries to break us, we carry our magic in silence, in scars, in sisterhood. πŸ’”πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈβ›“οΈπŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

Again this is costing me around $800 & I'm going to have to do it AGAIN at the end of this month, on top of the rent I already paid to keep this apartment.

I'm at USD $0/$1600.

Anything to help lessen this MASSIVE financial burden will be immensely helpful.

As a transgender woman, my heart is breaking watching my LGBTQ+ sisters suffer beside me, scared and forgotten. We don’t want to die like this. Please, help us in any way, with any connection, support, or even sharing our story. We are humans too. We are just trying to survive.

Help me save my family and escape from Gaza to Eygpt My name is Alaa, and I am a mother of three precious children: Musa, who is 12 years old, and my twin daughters, Ella and Ellen, who are 8 years old. Before October 7th, our lives were filled with hop...

I highly recommend following her at @mamafriend.bsky.social. She's a vital voice from inside Gaza and she speaks with both moral clarity and not insignificant poetry about what is going on. I really, really want her and her family to be okay. Here's the link again. chuffed.org/project/help...

I do not want to see another ignorant post about how the end of birthright citizenship means only Native people are citizens. This administration's attack on birthright citizenship STARTED by citing the unlawful notion that Tribal Citizens should not have US citizenship. edt
