Transpeople have always been here and will always be here. If u have a problem with that then that's actually your own problem and u need to wonder why u are making other people's biologies your issue. So just work on yourself and get out of the way. Collective liberation for all.

Some news: A few hours after I filed the draft to this story, CNN laid me off.

As part of a massive restructuring/changes across the network, my role as climate writer was among the 200 that got cut last week.

It’s disappointing, but I’ll be okay. My last day is on Feb 21. A thread.🧵 1/

This isn’t the first time this racist and genocidal idea gets thrown around. Doesn’t matter if it’s Trump or a pro Israel Democrat saying it. It’s racist and genocidal. And for those still not getting it, Palestinians are our own people. Nothing will ever change that.

Our commissioned writers @chandrikanm.bsky.social @nualaoconnor.bsky.social provided beautiful tributes to two incredible historical women: the legendary herbalist and ‘wise woman’ Biddy Early and the unflappable German mathematician Emmy Noether.

The lesson of the turtles. You need the struggle to imprint the memory in order to find the way home. But now I don’t want to go home.

It made me physically ill following updates from the Supreme Court today. Sending love to trans people, trans kids especially, and their families because… whew. Enduring this kind of hostility is an experience us cisgender will never fully understand.

"And we believe that’s why he was targeted, because Kamal Adwan Hospital, they wanted to have it lifeless and people leave the north, and Mahmoud delayed that because he delivered flour and canned goods and diapers and baby formula."

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

Friendsgiving is so much less fraught than well…. you know. Strange to have a holiday celebrating one genocide during a genocide. But good to get together with these wonderful people who I campaigned with for Jill stein! Frankly Relieved to have never voted democrat since Obama.
