Just had my bilateral salpingectomy surgery done this morning. Everything went well despite my fear of anesthesia. Slept on and off the entire day.

Best early birthday present ever. I'll never have to worry about pregnancy the "old fashioned" way.

Reproductive rights are human rights.

Let's talk about U.S. Healthcare:

I'm on Medicaid, and it's fucking scary that SOME PEOPLE think poor people should suffer and even die. I fear that one day, I'll wake up and my coverage will be gone.

With Medicaid, I have access to therapy and anti-anxiety medication.

With Medicaid, my upcoming

I do like the idea of getting back to good old fashioned political postering

I am 100% here to fight down to the line for trans folks, every time. But I am begging you guys to see disabled people as people, are also under attack and worth fighting for. We are not your collateral damage until they get to the "real rights." We are people. Both/and.

Welp, looks like I won't be able to medically transition at this rate, ffs. 😤

Why must my early and late twenties have the shadow of Mango Mussolini and co. to harm my and other marginalized communities?
It is horrifying watching the government erase a demographic in real time and most people just not really caring.

Kind of fucking bullshit that we went straight to the fascism and depression instead of getting to have a roaring twenties first.

I feel so disingenuous to have a pleasant façade for my students when I and others worry about the state of the U.S.

There's definitely a cognitive dissonance.

If you're protesting tomorrow, be safe and be prepared.

We all knew that attacking trans people doesn’t defend women but I think it’s important to highlight how brazen the lie is, that in fact attacking trans women is becoming a vehicle for attacking all women, as trans women said it would be.

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I love video games. Always have, always will. A refuge from the torments of the world, a welcome distraction when needed the most, a thoughtful reminder of the power of storytelling.

Play more games.

I finally picked up my Rx. 72 hrs. w/o meds is horrible. Waited 3 bloody weekdays to get the insurance to approve them.

3 fainting episodes in a span of 24 hours b/c of panic attacks = 0/10.

I also feel disingenuous to my students bc I'm trying to hide my fear

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours.

I’m currently working on a new version.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

For no reason today i am thinking about how in the Wicked novels, the Wizard of Oz imposes a ban on talking Animals existing in public, bars them from holding teaching jobs (or any job really), and 20 years after he leaves Oz and the laws are repealed, Animals still don't have teaching jobs again.

TikTok was never going anywhere. The TikTok creator gave millions to Trump and they orchestrated this whole PR stunt just so Trump will be seen as a 'hero' to young people.
It was literally the Kidz Bop version of the Reichstag Fire
