lol the United States Supreme Court couldn’t even let me have 48 hours of fucking hope and peace - incredible 🤗

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

No paycheck yet this week. But I did get a ballot. ✊ Still trying to do my part - even as we make more and more steps toward leaving the country - and am grateful for this (perhaps final) opportunity to vote for well-funded, secular, public education for ALL in this corner of Colorado Springs. 🗳️

Remember, the same government deploying masked agents to kidnap people off the streets and disappear them to foreign countries without due process demands you not call them fascist…or else.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

Are you trans, want to escape the UK, but only have a British passport? You can live in Ireland and get an Irish (EU) passport by naturalisation. No visa needed!

UK passport holders can live and work in Ireland with no minimum £savings requirement or funding.

Note: Healthcare is still free.

If you can show proof of living in Ireland for 5 years you can then apply for naturalisation and get an Irish (EU) passport.

I hope you love something in this world as much as Lou loves his new catnip cactus 😽🌵💕 #sanlousullivanthecat #cheeseluisgram #catsky

I remind myself regularly that courage is something we admire not just because it is good, but because it is rare.

I feel that way about a lot of virtues, these days.

I’m finding it impossible to describe in words the distinct flavor of dread I’m currently experiencing. This week, I’m trying to learn as much as I can about apostille certificates. I don’t know what else to do.

The Wall Street Journal needs to issue a full retraction and apology to the trans community for this. Nothing less will suffice. They put us all in danger and recklessly put out incorrect information.

The Wall Street Journal is now walking back its earlier reporting that "transgender ideology" messages were found on the shooter's ammunition.

But it's too late. That story is all around the country and the world. Most who have read it will not see the update.

Thanks, WSJ.

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around!

1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video"
2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

sure sure, society is collapsing irreparably before our eyes - but the new Lego hibiscus set is fire!! 🔥🙃🌺🧱🎉

Here’s to more control and autonomy - and to hopefully getting out of this country ASAP. 🏳️‍⚧️🎉💁‍♂️💉

After 2 years of gel & 2 years of getting injected in clinic, I just gave myself my first T shot solo (w/ supervision)😅. Huge shout-out to the Union Medico auto-injector (def look into buying one if you’re a hopeless sissy like me).

physically, mentally, and emotionally surviving this month has required dissociating nightly into the greatest Shakespeare adaptation of all time - the holy text that has informed and shaped my entire life - my 2008 Coffee Prince DVD box set ☕️💁‍♂️

Title: Gender Census 2025. Text: If you can't easily put yourself into just one of these two boxes, you are invited to take part. Illustration: Two boxes, each with photos of relevant dictionary pages.

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

'Open Cruelty': Transgender Troops Describe Indignities as They're Kicked Out of the Military Leaders in the Trump administration have minced few words in articulating how they feel about transgender troops.

…and your security camera caught it all - but should you even alert “the authorities” or will they just abuse you, too like wow, what a life, what a country, you know?? everything’s going so well here

… because somebody strolled onto your property this evening like they owned it and cut and ripped apart the pride flag on your front porch…

POV: you’re entering your third week of recovering from COVID and it’s going badly and it’s the night before your husband’s birthday but instead of leaving out a fun surprise, you have to scrawl this and leave it by his keys so he’ll see it in the morning…

COVID Day 14? 15? So umm, will my sense of smell/taste actually return at some point? Or is it just gone forever now, like so many other things I used to habitually experience and presumably never will again - like summer weather that didn’t try to kill me, national pride, parental love, and hope? 😐

If it can happen to me, trust it can happen to anybody. Plz be vigilant. Waiting to see if it turns to pneumonia, as most things do for me. But the loss of senses, while well-documented, has terrified me. I feel like my sinuses and brain have been chemically burned from the inside. Just…seared.
