Writer, bad carpenter, builder of things, tired. Welcome the disassociation station. Trains leave all the time. You never see them leave though. Which is weird. How long have we been standing here?

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts.

Securityโ€™s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

If you like porn, you owe performers the bare fucking minimum of supporting their human right to self determination and listening to their self advocacy.

if you think we don't have our own voices and need to be saved, you aren't looking hard enough.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

ABC White House correspondent just released ANOTHER anti-trans EO expected that we did not cover in our piece this morning:

A federal ban on funding to programs that acknowledge and affirm transgender people.

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. Itโ€™s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isnโ€™t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that youโ€™re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isnโ€™t going to help us get through this.

More women have been attacked by other women in restrooms for being suspected of being trans in 2024 than women have ever been attacked in a restroom by a trans woman in all of recorded history.

A year ago, I considered myself one of the lucky ones when it came to family...but my father's senility has been filled with Fox 'News' and worse...

Sorry, no selfie meme for me. Online will never see my human visage every again. I would suggest in the age of doxxing, ML training, and harassment that you consider doing the same.

Long live trans youth.

We live to fight another day.

Disney Pulls Transgender Storylineย from Pixarโ€™s โ€˜Win or Loseโ€™ Streaming Series (Exclusive) The original animated show about a co-ed high school team debuts on Disney+ in February.

At what point are trans people allowed to exist in the narrative? At what point are LGBT+ people allowed to tell our stories without worry of censorship or removal?

Pass it on.

In the two days since this segment, Iโ€™ve gotten at least a dozen messages & emails from parents or teachers telling about the awful things their girls have been experiencing or asking for copies of the resource for schools etc- and a handful of messages, all from men, asking to โ€œtalkโ€ with me 1/

I can't help but think of all the times citizens have reported threats, online stalking, etc etc to the police only to be told there's nothing that can be done until something happens.

This is the remix of the same song I've been singing, but I'm tired of watching the government play in our faces.

As an extra bitch with a writing degree, it is very fitting that Glamour and Grammar used to be the same word, signifying anything mystifying or unknown, be it language or spellcraft.

It is also fitting, because grammar is confusing as shit, and so is my face if you ask straight men.
