Hope is a hammer. "You can act as if there’s a tomorrow worth protecting – even when your deepest, most secret heart is convinced there is no hope to be found. The beautiful thing about being in community with others is that if your hammer breaks... you can still build new things..." ❤️‍🔥🥰

Hammer Speech

The sci-fi/horror reading series I'm doing on 10/16 did an intro post for me on Instagram. I'm the only trans person AND the only one not on IG in the lineup, so if you can go like the post, that would help me feel like I'm not the loser of the bunch! Thanks! 🖤

Trans rights protect EVERY GENDER. Just like the rights black people fought for protect EVERY RACE. Including white people! Y'all are enjoying the spoils of someone else's hard work every damn day.

I need Hollywood to look at Ryan Coogler and Jordan Peele's success in horror and give opportunities to Black women directors to do the same.

Day 10: Dearly Departed by Shakey Graves

You and I both know that the house is haunted. You and I both know that that ghost is me.

You used to bite, I used to moan.
But now I mumble & you choke.
Well I ain't so scary on my own...

They're already peeing their pants because they know that when they say "Antifa" they mean anarchists and there's no way to identify a "founder" or "leader" or "financier" with people who organize horizontally, so they have no targets. A total mystery to them, just like the location of the clitoris.

I've tried to talk about the history of antifascism in the U.S. (here & in my book) & how most people considered the fight against fascism "over" at the end of WWII but anarchists didn't; we fight fascism no matter who the target is & so have always fought Israeli apartheid. Antifa = anarchists.

I had them together this year and I had allover body aches the next morning pretty bad, but just for a few hours and then totally fine.

First I was mad that people don't know the histories of UK Antifascist Action & American ARA & so on but now I'm kinda like fuck it, let's make up glorious Antifa folklore, why not? Luigi was just practice. We can have great tales of Antifa girlfriends in this post-truth era.

They want to have it both ways. We're chaotic and disorganized criminals, or we actually have an agenda and a political plan. Mash em together and call it "premeditated" instead of planned or organized.
