it makes sense that I'm nonbinary. my mom is a woman and my dad is a man. I got a bit of both . it's simply genetics

I don't think fascists are truly capable of love. they see everyone on earth as a means to an end instead of as fully autonomous beings. they see children as possessions, as a narcissistic future extension of themselves that must be molded in exactly their likeness

imagine announcing to the world that your children are expendable and you don't worry at all about any of them dying because they're replaceable, and not catching on that you're the lowest scum on the planet

it makes me want to ask people who know and still eat there "do you not care because they're queer or because they're black". because seriously, which is it

yep!! any money given to jkr goes directly to funding anti trans legislation

"there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" doesn't apply to "corporations that directly fund foreign death squads for queer people"

crazy how there's a chicken franchise in the united states that has credibly been linked to foreign lgbtq+ genocide and death squads and otherwise ostensibly progressive people still fucking eat there

and sat down with two more pints. he got through half of one, put on his coat, and walked out without a word.

I'd called him "sweetheart" when he came in and he'd looked taken aback and delighted. I hope there's an afterlife so shirley knows how much her husband misses her.

he said he missed his wife terribly, and even though they fought and nagged and all that, their souls were connected and when she passed he felt actual pain in his soul. he said they were married for 30 years and now a piece of him was gone. he tipped me another $5 for chatting with him

because it was hard for him. he said "love is so important. since my wife died I don't want to date, I already found my person and she's gone. but I have friends, and your friends are the most important people in the world. you don't need a partner if you have love and friends" and went on like that

he said "my wife, she passed away two and a half years ago. she was a server for years. I always make sure I tip my servers, because you're all amazing". I asked what his wife's name was. he said "shirley". so I held up the $5 and said "thank you shirley". i could tell he didn't talk about her much

I told him I'd been in the service industry on and off for north of 20 years, but I've only been at this bar for a few months. he said "the service industry is incredible. you all work so hard and take so much shit, and you don't make enough money doing it" and reached into his wallet and gave me $5

had a really sweet interaction with a customer yesterday. an old disheveled guy came in and ordered himself two pints at once. he asked if I could turn on classic rock for him (specifically van halen) and I agreed. we chatted about music for a while, then he asked me how long I've been bartending

“fighting for democracy” should honestly go down in history as a flagrant fascism dogwhistle. nothing good has come from “fighting for democracy”

I'm sorry but gender and sexuality is all silly, and if someone wants to poke fun at either of mine from the position of being a fucking openly trans woman in the united states in 2025, I'm not gonna give a single fuck. turns out that's not even in the top 50k important things happening

dirt squirrel @dirtsquirrel.bsky.social · 1d

lol that's totally how I look at it too, with pets and people. my old dogs get whatever they want, and if my 93 year old grandma wants ice cream for dinner she's gonna get it ffs

I love having short hair and I love having long hair. it's such a conundrum lol I want people to look at me and say "is that a girl or a boy" but then I want them to think "either way they've got cool hair"

jesus christ that's rude. the standards for just existing as a human are absurd

my favourite part of every hockey game. when everyone goes and gives the goalie a little smooch
