the attempt to not recognize our personhood and ban us from public life just has less oomph once we’ve already fully realized ourselves for years, like bitch who are you lol

I started to transition at the start of Trump round one and remember being so shaken to the bone by every anti-trans thing, and now years later as things are infinitely worse I’m sad in an intellectual way but in essence fully unflapped—being a transsexual woman in the world really hardens a girl!!

It’s hard to deal with genuinely, like you’re really just telling me this casually like I’m supposed to be interested or like, happy for you or something? Bananas

Values just fly out the window when most people become that well-moneyed and comfortable, it’s just really grotesque.

The couple times I’ve seen a person I thought was decent become a landlord it just depresses the hell out of me—the few friends I have that are insanely privileged enough to own a place they don’t already live let other friends who need it live there for free, because they’re not fucking parasites!!

These major institutions in blue states that generally like to present a “liberal” image complying wayyyy in advance to Trump’s anti-trans stuff even though doing so thoroughly breaks state law just goes to show how much they were chomping at the bit to do this shit. Never let them forget!!

Like not every feeling toward a politician needs to be strategic—sometimes it can just be the repulsion of looking upon such a spineless little worm.

I am very annoyed-with-having-to-care-about-sports core but obviously “Fuck Pete” is a gesture of disgust toward Dems who are willing to turn their backs on marginalized demographics on any issue if they think it’ll poll well—this is a normal and healthy response to have!

If you’ve watched live streamed genocide for two years and are still blaming a right wing government instead of acknowledging that this is what Israel was built to do, you are doing a form of genocide denial. All forms of Zionism are morally abhorrent and should not be tolerated.

An Israel with equal rights is not Israel in anyway that matters—Israel is a project of genocide of the Palestinian people (and beyond), and anything short of its abolition for the creation of a single Palestinian state with equal rights is an endorsement of that Zionist project.

There are Palestinians who were violently forced out of Palestine during the Nakba who are *still alive* with no right of return while any loser who can trace back a few generations to Jewish ancestry can claim Israeli citizenship and gain rights over people already there.

To have a state where one type of people get more rights means there will be other people in it who are second class citizens. This has been true for Palestinians with Israeli citizenship from its inception—a “two state solution” with an ethnostate is an endorsement of apartheid.

Jews and Muslims lived peacefully in pre-Nakba Palestine, and even the original 1948 Israel borders (before they expanded outward through more displacement and murder over the last seventy odd years) were made through the ethnic cleansing of the Nakba. This was always the plan.

Anyone that thinks that the settler colonial apartheid state of Israel should exist is a Zionist, and it doesn’t matter how much handwringing they do now that the holocaust of the Palestinian people that Israel’s founding was based on is impossible to unsee. It’s that simple!

Chronic illness means everything takes so much longer and is so much harder so after really committing to this getting a full draft done schedule and making some actual progress I'm just hitting myself

I'm stupid and have been relying on autosaves for my work, and after my computer fell and shut down weird I was only able to recover a months back version. I've finally been back on my writing routine but still have few days where I'm not sick and able to get real words in so it's pretty devastating

Okay that's over fifty opinions and people keep liking so I'm not catching up, gonna stop here but thanks for playing!

I actually wrote a poem about it a while back! bsky.app/profile/bimb...

Society being shaped around the personal car is not only deeply stupid but also evil and anti-human—fast and affordable (preferably free) public transportation for all should be a human right

One unquestioned value that most people have and that our legal system holds sacred is that children belong to their parents, and that's the way so much of the violence and abuse they experience is excused and invisibilized. This is bullshit—children are people too and deserve our respect and care

As a chronically ill person, I wish everyone could get the perspective being sick all the time after so many years of being healthy gives you without it fucking up your life

Age gaps are just one form of many kinds of power differential that can exist in adult relationships that you should be aware of in case they are exploited/abused, but are not inherently bad in and of themselves

The idea of traveling into space to try and make planets that are deeply inhospitable to life livable when we are currently destroying our lush green planet that has more than enough resources to support all of us is a profoundly sick colonial fantasy

No one is born a girl or born a boy—everyone is just born a baby who can't even differentiate themselves from their mother. I think this flies in the face of both common cisheteronormative belief as well as trans "born this way" truisms, which are really two sides of the same coin.

If you are a person with a visible marginalized identity working for a business that is public facing, they will likely try to exploit that for their benefit in some way. It's important to learn to never give a business anything more than exactly what they're paying you for

I love animation, and adapting a really incredible animated work into live action is a deeply stupid and unforgivable act

they're just fun!

I think Parmesan cheese tastes really gross but I still find myself eating it semi-regularly because most people seem to love it and make stuff with it all the time (see opinion #6). I have only a few things I've ever disliked that much so it's very odd.

Romantic devotion is the most important thing in the world to me and my two partnerships are the center of everything—I know that's not for everyone but it's who I am
