If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

It's scary and impoverished out there for trans folks and I'm going to have to upend my life pretty soon. My wonderful friends and bandmates put this together to help out — if you can help in anyway, with a few bucks or a share, it would make this tgirl's life a lot easier

Grass is our story.

We eat it: rice, corn, wheat, oats, barley, sugar, bamboo shoots...

We spread it: agriculture, colonialism, suburbanization, habitat restoration...

We touch it: relaxation, celebration, exploration, demonstration...

Grass is everything.

#HowToTouchGrass is a comics anthology about... touching grass! Often literally: buff.ly/HbA2TT6

Em Matson-Brady and @enaami.bsky.social on "Manoomike": "We ARE nature, and our relationship with wild rice (manoomin), a grass that requires human touch to survive, is a perfect example of this." 🌾🛶🦆
