one of the weirdest things about having DID is how one alter in my system can be having a terrible awful time, just constantly suffering, while the other alters are feeling completely fine

it makes sense how it developed as a survival mechanism though

there is a small but persuasive part of me that wants to invite every single one of my elected officials

One thing I think is lost on folks who are not in the fight is how people like Ian raise thousands of dollars, covering rent for dozens of families, and STILL feel like it isn’t enough. I see it in everyone who is lending any amount of help. We are tortured by the thought that we can’t do it all.

You are not angry enough, you cannot be angry enough about the injustice trans women face every day and every issue is worse than more intersectional you are and there is no relief. This isn't opinion, it just is hard fact, ask me how I know.

video taken in downtown minneapolis today of reported bounty hunters PULLING A GUN on someone standing in the road in front of city hall. (business on the van is fake.) hennepin county sheriff’s deputies were right behind and did nothing

video by government employee who saw it on their lunch break

this is brian flakne, who represented landlord john wall in the suit robin wonsley and michael wilson had to file against him last summer for violating voters' rights by not allowing them to doorknock his buildings!

We've got way more need than donors today and eviction notices are starting to arrive. Can you sign a form to pay a rent directly or can you venmo us so our team of volunteers can pay more rents?!🌻

i know right??? i wanted to do something big for my 10-year back in 2024 but things didn't line up right, so i'm glad i have an excuse to go bigger this year!

I expect to be absolutely awful at bowling, especially because years of HRT have caused my hips to expand and shift

hell yeah good luck!

i also finally applied for another 3 months of SNAP! i really gotta look into getting a disability exemption to work requirements for that and for Medical Assistance - there's just so many tasks and my disability is disabling

sleep study consult scheduled for June 3rd (but I'm on the cancellation list!) and my vaginoplasty surgeon's care team is gonna reach out to me in the next few days 😎

i'm finally making important phone calls that i've been putting off for weeks! jeb_bush_please_clap.gif

a close up middle aged guy on facebook reels. he's wearing glasses and a ballcap and in the background he has a wall sculpture of pennywise from it. the text he put on screen says "Me suddenly realizing out of the blue that one of my favorite films of all time might be transphobic."

another screenshot from that same reel, showing the poster for "the silence of the lambs"

my god cis people are oblivious lol

hell yeah hell yeah hell yeah

this isn't about any one specific incident btw - it's just a really annoying pattern that i've been noticing for a long time

cis people talking about a cis woman:
-"she"
-"this woman"
-"that (adjective) lady"

cis people talking about a trans woman:
-"they"
-"this person"
-"that (adjective) person"

it's such a frustrating pattern, especially from people who should know better

The bad actors - the really "effective" transphobes - figured this out 6-10 years ago: If they say outright "I hate trans people", they get rejected. If they derail, dismiss, deny, defend in *response* to trans people begging for humanity, they are tolerated.

Literally sitting in the City Council hearing about eviction prevention paying rents while I’m waiting to speak. If you want to help keep 11 immigrant families in public housing from being imminently evicted, I’m trying to raise $2500 for them 💛

I cannot overstate just how debilitating it is, as a trans woman whose egg cracked as a teenager, how every single day there's a new way people in power are killing trans kids

Even setting aside every other mental health issue I have, just learning about these horrors is enough to make me crumble

Everything you’ve heard about how bad the conditions are in Whipple is true of Hennepin County Jail…which might even be worse. So when you watch the videos of sheriff’s deputies assaulting protestors outside of Whipple, just know that is also happening inside of our jail downtown
