Trans existence and trans joy are a beautiful things.
Always working to become more compassionate, authentic and thoughtful, and to learn how to find or create joy and meaning for myself and others.

I've thought for a while that there are two strategies that transphobic institutions persue that exist in tension with each other (often within the same institution). There's elimination and containtment.
You can't have a Gov. policy of caring about the well-being of trans children, while having a policy of persecuting trans adults. It is too obviously incompatible.
They want a policy of persecuting trans adults. So they have to have a policy of querying & controlling the existence of trans kids.

Yesterday at a Guilty Feminist event I had a discussion with a mother who asked: Why would a parent not support their trans child?
I gave an answer I’ve never given before. Just a thought.
I said these parents were like the parent who pushed their child to learn the violin instead of the cello…

Watching a 60's sitcom and running into all sort of "well, it was what was accepted at the time" moments.
...including what we would nowadays call sexual assault or at least severe harassment. But with a laugh track. Fucking hell.
We have so far to go, still.

This crew of comrades offer some of the best training and they are generously offering another on Monday. It is a virtual session and they have asked this to be shared in particular with MN folks if you want to join. Open to others too.

I can't believe I thought of making this book two weeks ago and now I'm holding it in my hand. My brain holds so much cheese knowledge. If you'd like to learn about cheese as guided by me, an experience cheesemonger of 13+ years, you can order it here: www.rosalarian.com/product-page...

A lovely and engaging fantasy world I can escape to...
...except for the firm cis/heteronormativity, the casual (though occasionally challenged) misogyny, the racist stereotypes and the caste system that no one talks about with a de facto enslaved class.
But tell me again how woke ruined scifi.

While I don't want to take sides in any feuds, I realize I am way more interested in those who build each other up, who actively engage with and build bridges and community and understanding in meaningful and effective ways, not those who try to sow division or engage in clout wars.

More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

Every so often, in the midst of navigating all that's involved with being trans in this world, I kind of realize again, "Oh, yeah, I AM also gay. And it's pretty great."

So there are foods that leave me wondering: who the hell was the first person to figure out that was edible?!
"Shit! That damn civet cat ate the rest of the coffee beans, and I am jonesing so bad for a cup of joe...hmm. Hmmmm!"

Noticing that some folks have either disappeared or blocked me.
There seems to be some kind of feud (or several) going on between folks I follow and guessing I'm seen as guilty just by that association.
I get that some folks feel the need to protect themselves that way but it still makes me sad.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

In 2022 I started tracking changes in how news outlets were describing trans people, and set up a bot to record every article pushed to the Google News index based on a handful of search phrases, including “biological sex” in both the US and UK. The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

Haven't said much about current events, as I don't live in the US and there are smarter and more articulate people who are really laying out what's happening.
Sometimes commentary feels performative & don't want to chokeup bandwidth.
But shitting shit what the fuck is wrong with those fascists?!!
