Hello blue skies! 😀
I was "emilyvivant" at that ex-twitter place. I wanted to shorten my handle here, but "emily-v" was already taken. So I went with "emily-kv", where the k stands for Katherine (which should have been my middle name).
This graphic should tell you all about me 😄

Dang ... if I had the cash & garage space (and if my fat ass could fit in it), I'd seriously consider bidding on this 🤔
The Bay Area punk history tour with Jello seals the deal! 😀
That said, it's a manual transmission, which can be fun but would mean a very aggravating experience in city traffic 😬

This exactly describes my experience 🙃
As a child/tween/teenager, I was extremely bad at being a boy, but didn't figure out why until I was 44.
In high school, i did figure out how to stop getting beat up. I gender-policed my behavior and tried to emulate my peers.
I became a people-pleaser 😞

My spicy socialization take is that we mostly use the phrase "female socialization" to refer to raising someone to be a people-pleaser so they don't get hit, and as people constantly at risk of getting hit, trans femmes receive it as much as anyone else
“Male Socialization” of trans femmes isn’t a real thing. Invoking it just shows you’re a bozo trying to misgender us.
Trans people were never really socialized as our AGAB. At best, we were pressured to mimic norms that gave us dysphoria.
It’s an obvious TERF / Blanchardist dog whistle. Do better.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

11 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Arlington TX becomes first US city to repeal its LGBTQ+ non-discrimination law, after Trump admin threatened to withhold $65m in fed funding. Vote was 5-4. Iowa was first state to do so in Feb 2025.
Texas city votes to overturn LGBTQ+ antidiscrimination protections
Arlington, Texas has removed “gender identity and expression” and “sexual orientation” from its antidiscrimination protections.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

This is all true but
1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law
2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up
The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

Then let's start at the top. No more taxpayer money funding Trump's world-class healthcare. Send him the bill for that MRI, and every other medical service he's received.
Markwayne Mullin: "Reward people for being healthy. Think about this. Healthcare is the only industry that you're not rewarded for taking care of your responsibility. If you think about homeowners insurance, if you're within 500 feet of a fire hydrant, your insurance goes down."
