I’m not a model trans. I’m not here to be innocent or appealing or whatever the fuck. I’m here to be myself, and I hope to god that weeds out the fuckers that only care to listen to the polite and the palatable.

I followed the US Dept of Labor on here last year when it was posting useful pro-worker info and education. It’s so sad to see the account coopted into just another mouthpiece for the administration’s white supremacist, fascist rhetoric.

I’m not dead, I’ve just been prioritizing my mental health while executing a rather important life change ✌🏻

A fabric square onto which I painted the words “new dick, who dis” and appliquéd some painfully cute scraps of kawaii animal fabric on.

Every day people prove to me that they would've demonized slaves for revolting against their oppressors

Weird that’s what it does for me too. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll re-upload it I guess.

All I’m saying is The Powerpuff girls are made from sugar, spice, and everything nice plus some random ass chemical X and nobody tells them they’re not allowed to use the ladies bathroom.

They’re biologically a sentient breakfast cereal but SURE act like I’m the problem.

Goofy selfie of me (blonde, white 30-something man in rimless glasses) laughing while dancing on an outdoor patio surrounded by people in huge inflatable t-rex dinosaur suits of various patterns.

I love can label design. I hope businesses continue commissioning real artists, because it’s such a fun little sub-genre of art and design.

Promotional photo of a lineup of Original Sin’s non-alcoholic Widow cider lineup, each displaying the same spider and border but in a different color scheme.

Unrolled can art of Charm City Meadworks’ Wildflower mead, a bright yellow spread with a cleanly rendered bee and geometric elements.

This article just chilled me to my bones, immediately after leaving a show on a country-wide, 50 state, all-trans comedy tour, where I got to do a guest set in front of a very queer audience. It was beautiful. Please read this article, because we need to understand what's happening in DC,

Laura Jedeed @laurajedeed.bsky.social · Aug 24

The thing that disturbs me most about DC isn't the military pageantry or even the bursts of federal violence. It's the emptiness. The strange, dead silence.

People should not be afraid to come to America's capital, see the sights, and have dinner afterwards They didn't used to be. They are now.

If you're wondering why people are going in hard against Newsom, it's to give you the most notice possible. They are telling you in 2025 that a Newsom run in 2028 will fail. This is information. If your response to this information is to wail about purity tests, you are not prepared for the moment

Hey so just fyi, if you're abandoning trans rights you're abandoning all civil rights

At that point what the fuck is the point of the democracy you're willing to sacrifice trans people for

This actually isn't hard at all, quit making it pretend hard because you finally feel scared too

Wish this was posted anywhere but substack, but the content here is giving me hope and that’s in short supply, so I share.

“States are creating pharmaceutical stockpiles, climate agreements, immigration policies. […] They’re building functioning governmental systems that operate independently of federal authority. […] The federal government becomes a hollow structure that states have a moral impreative to ignore.”

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

It’s Time for Americans to Start Talking About “Soft Secession”

Blue states are finally learning what red states have known all along: you don’t need federal permission to govern.
