Not being able to get a job yet has put us in a spot. If you can help, please do.

Not Cordelia @notcordelia.bsky.social · 26d

Nic and I really hate to have to do this, but we are at a point where we're going to need some help with covering some of the costs of our move that we thought were covered but we turned out to have underestimated our initial needs because of how long it took to get us both out of the States.

I'm really sorry for continuing to spam this, but at this point this GFM is no longer just about getting our stuff back but making sure Nic & I can stay on our feet in the mean time while we look for work. Anyone who can boost or contribute is greatly appreciated. You will keep a trans couple safe.

I have yet another round of applications in and I'm starting to worry. We have immigration things next month and I haven't been able to land a job. I feel like I got my wife out and I'm going to stall out at the finish line. If you can help or share, thank you.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.

Trans women are building their own publishing world, and it’s under threat

Online communities are stepping in where traditional publishing stops.

The older I get, the more I'm worried that my RSD attacks are going to give me a heart attack. I haven't had one in a while, but I've been unmedicated for about six months and I'm sure one is coming sooner or later 🙃

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Transsexualism is bourgeois, which is why most of the Western girls I know are crowdfunding their healthcare costs to get it overseas

Valerie @vibingvalerie.bsky.social · 2d

Are women bourgeois?

Ari: WELL I AM

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

I have no clue who Ari Drennen is but Marxist transsexual here. Trans women are some of the most violently lumpenproletarianized people on the planet. Trans women do not own the means of production which is what would make us bourgeois. We are violently barred from the traditional job market.
