Trans ma’am queer autistic CPTSD survivor, guitarist, reader, writer, putting the Her in Philosopher Trumpers, Theists, and Therians get blocked. I will not respect your “it/its” pronouns because I see you as a person. You can’t get mad at me for that.

Yet they’ve got the audacity to pat themselves on the back like this is a game.

This isn’t governing — it’s reckless, it’s cruel, and it’s a damn disgrace.

Do your jobs. Or get the hell out of the way so people who actually care about Americans can.

If you’re having trouble emotionally processing that, it took me five years of therapy, a cross country move, and a whole ass transition to heal from.

She was a mortician with schizophrenia.

Fun fact: The man who directly ruined my career is on Death Row for it. Dzokhar Tsarnaev.

My life’s wild.

Yeah, I’m dreading my birthday next week because I’ve never had anyone to celebrate it with me.

I wasn’t even allowed to sit with the family at thanksgiving. I ate rolls at the counter.

Also my ex-wife ruined my ability to trust ANYone. She was a necrophiliac and kicked a cop on our honeymoon.

Because it’s unflinchingly human.

I got two death threats in the last two days, both from trans women.

I am a trans woman.

Make that make sense.

📌I hold all religion with deep suspicion. If you want to practice it go for it, but keep ALL OF IT the hell out of OUR government.

Power to the people.

If smiles are the only thing you’re looking at, you could always write in Steve-O for office.

Let’s try to stay focused on things that affect our fellow citizens’ lives, shall we?

It’s weird that I’m between @aoc.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in age, but we-heh-heh-hell beneath them in status, platform, and income—college grad on SNAP.

My lifetime earnings are less than $75,000. Don’t ask how I’m still alive enough to care about politics. I don’t know either. 🤷‍♀️

This is affirming.

I have a degree from the same music college John Mayer flunked out of.
I’m a licensed wedding officiant for lgbt+ and disabled couples.
I helped build an orphanage in Mexico.
I’m a certified relationship coach.

And the only thing I ask the universe in return is a job I want, and someone to cuddle.👍

That depends on a lot of factors and situations that are so variable, I couldn’t say for you whether anyone should listen to a damn word I have to say, or not.

But unfortunately for us both, I’m an American, and I stake my claim on the right to speak the truth as I see it, bc I did my homework.

C’est magnifiquement détaillé.

Decriminalize loitering and skateboarding.

THEN we can talk about the hard drugs you wanted to try.

There aren’t even 188 trans women in male-dominated sports leagues.

The FUCK is wrong with Christians?

The only thing I want to hear out of anyone is “I never considered it that way before but you’ve given me a lot to think about.”

Anything else is argumentative and unproductive.

You can drop the condescending tone that you walked into my day with, or you can go back to your mixing board.

I’m not an idiot. You’d be hard pressed to find a famous name I don’t recognize.

This is literally every interaction I’ve had today with strangers.

Nobody wants to read anymore.

This is Beth Bourne.

Beth is head of Moms for Liberty in Yolo County, CA.

Beth knows my name.

Beth sends people to my dms to harass and threaten me.

There’s a hilarious video of her getting shoved to the ground by a group of people on the right side of history.

Beth is a disgrace.

Djing, yes.

I had a radio show with a friend at CSUMB.

We interviewed the head writer from SNL in the 90s, Fred Wolf. If that matters to you at all.

I was ten years old when the 90s ended.

I also don’t have an opinion on Fraggle Rock or Urkel.

Someone else said this:

“Agreeing with MTG is like agreeing with a cannibal at lunchtime, on the matter of hunger.

The basics are in place, but the practical development needs more planning.”
