dropped a @dolphindiaries.bsky.social link in a campaign email to cite how detrans people share some of the challenges and needs that trans people have, largely imposed by the anti-trans regime

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats.

I have 3k left to raise on my GFM until June 18th. The overall goal is over halfway there, and it would suck to get stuck close to the end. Please help out if you can, it would mean a lot

I'm feeling Zack Snyder's Superman (yes that one specifically) about how the neoliberal exploitation of migrants has given way to ethnocentric and fascist anxieties about cultural pollution and now the West wants to further brutalize the precarious labor whose blood it feasts upon. Like fuck y'all.

i fly out for revision in 8 days and could really use the help to get me through the 2-3 week recovery afterwards <3
Good News: On my last follow up, my FFS surgeon was confident things were okay.

Bad News: The whole process was way more expensive than I anticipated and all the money I had set aside to help me get through my revision next month is now gone.

Due to being a refugee, I only get invited to interviews for menial and service jobs. Because of my disability, I can't work those. I live on modest and sporadic freelance earnings and can't afford surgical expenses. Please help if you can 🙏

It's interesting just how joined up the network of celebrity misogynists is. I don't think it makes sense to cast Epstein as, like, the sinister puppetmaster behind it all. I think that flatters him far more than he deserves. What it does show, as in this video, is how...

A bunch of women and girls get abused and all the discussion is about the political manoeuvrings of the men involved. You have to laugh, don't you?
