A world of disorderly notions, picked out of my books, crowded into my imagination; and now my head was full of nothing but enchantments.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

being trans in 2025 is like playing quietly on your game boy in your room not bothering anyone and then your drunk parents kick your door down and start beating the fuck outta you for "ruining the entire family" but all you've done is play game boy in your room without bothering anyone.

Revolutionary optimism is the disciplined confidence that because trans lives are forced to invent ways of surviving capitalism, we also possess the skills needed to abolish it.

Despair only serves existing power structures.

Collective struggle for total intersectional liberation now. ⚧️
fascism seeks to convince its victims they have been defeated in advance. stay aware of the state’s behavior, but remember it’s motivations.

You weren’t “difficult to love.”
You were never loved according to your needs.

You weren’t “too intense.”
You were unfiltered without guidance.

You weren’t “hard work.”
You were human.

They didn’t know your language.
So they called you the problem.

Fuck that.

GOOD NEWS! A groundbreaking study in MORE THAN 1,000 people reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically LONGER than those who didn’t. In some cases, their survival rate was DOUBLED.

She shakes you awake at 4AM. "Hurry," whispering, pulling you against her chest, "it only happens once every two centuries," and groggy, you listen to her heartbeat, a single thump, for the first and last time

the thing is. you can't negotiate with a tumor. it is not productive to get pissed off at a tumor

but you *can* get pissed off at the doctor who refuses to acknowledge the blood you keep coughing up because the tumor has convinced him that his portfolio will go up by .5% if you die

hope that helps
Kind of amazing how I can post something Republicans did and people on this site still find a way to blame the Democrats.

I think that many do not realize that when people say they will die without the ACA, they are not exaggerating or being dramatic. I take medication daily because without it my body does not recognize when to stop bleeding. So I take medication to "trick" my uterus into thinking I am pregnant.

Mamdani is going to implement Sharknado Law.

Enough said.
Mamdani is going to implement Shar Law. Everyone will have to bow down to the Mistress of the Night, the Lady of Loss, and devote themselves to bringing about a darkness that will smother her hated foe and sister Selûne
Mamdani is going to implement My Sharona law. Everyone will have to create songs with undeniable rock beats.

Just 260 left? Okay. Let's see if we can clear this today, one less stressor while I'm trying to get book updates and everything done before I leave town.
7 days left to revision. 5 days left to get the funds together so I have a home to go back to afterwards. 2400 dollars to go. If you can help, even if it's just spreading the word, please do.

Down to just 400 left to go? Yay. This is pretty much just our food and gas budget for the trip. And any other expenses, so if it gets pushed past the goal number, I certainly won't be complaining, as it'll mean a bit more time to recover in. If you can still kick in anything, please do.
