It's finally time for Persephone to pilot Styx, but after an initial attempt to synchronize with the eidolon end in failure she realizes that this will be nothing like piloting the lesser mechs she had been training on.

One of my main criticisms of Lady for a Duke was how weird it is to have just one trans woman completely by herself who doesn't know any other trans women. Like, us finding each other and forming comminities of practice is something we've been doing since the dawn of written history

Watching Veneno and seeing all of the dozens of trans women in that show genuinely fixed so many of my brainworms wrt appearance/passing.

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

This is the way. Like, this is the only way forward. This is what we need from leaders. It's not purity testing to demand this level of active, affirmative support.

This should be basic among Dems seeking to hold office.

A rarely discussed benefit of strong social supports for the unemployed (including but not limited to universal basic income) is that capital is less able to chill your speech or push you to compromise your ethics. Why? Because if your boss tries to push you that way, you can leave more readily

The elder Trans woman who named herself Tifa and is called Aunt Tifa for real is the strongest.

No, i also have very little interest in assaulting a random service worker for refusing me entry into a bar because of my own fuck up. It seems strange to even suggest that

Starting to wonder if I'm the only semi-prominent transfem voice actress without an agent/representation.

Really need to figure that whole side of things out at some point.

I think it is important for people to understand that the UK in 2025 is more transphobic now than they were in 1394 (700 years ago) when they arrested and subsequently released Eleanor Rykener in a similar case as this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John/El...
