They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

happy anniversary!

it's...year 10? for me. I think?...I came out in winter of 2014 to one person and then to others sometime after that in 2015 and then to the world in 2016. my only regret is that I took so long to be true to myself.
