They didn't just drop the Q and the T from LGBTQA+, they dropped the A, too. They're acting like asexuals and aromantics don't exist, which we absolutely do.

I've long believed there should be some kind of protection for aro/ace people and the fact that we don't have that yet is disgusting.

I wonder how long it'll take for the rich and powerful sector to realize you can't tax unemployed or deceased individuals. Our suffering runs this country.

While we're on controversial topics: fuck AI.

AI is putting hard-working, actual people - like me - out of our jobs. I worked my ass off to get my old position and it got replaced by an AI data mapping model.

If your job can be automated, chances are it will be in the next five years.

And so, despite being trans, I will stand with my former sisters and always have. I've got your backs if you've got mine.

Note how they're going after transfems and not transmascs. Not only do people forget we exist, but us wanting to transition to being male is seen as 'acceptable' because it's the 'superior gender'.

I just like men's clothing and experience dysphoria, it never was about who's 'superior' for me.

For reasons of personal safety I will not be posting my appearance, location, or identifiable details here. My apologies, but I've hit the triple whammy by being LGBTQA+, poor, and disabled.

And if I go truly silent, I just hope someone tells our story and fixes this before it's too late.

It's not about right or left, Democrat or Republican anymore.

It's about who's a decent human being with empathy and compassion and who isn't.

I don't give a damn what side you're on, if you can see what's going on and feel something about it, do something about it. Don't stay quiet.

I've worked with immigrants and let me tell you, those were some of the most down to earth, wholesome people I've ever met. We cleaned restrooms together. They made me a cake for my birthday. But no, they're the problem, not the broken system that's trying to deport them. Fuck this wanna-be regime.

Still amazed by how relevant this song is, even today: youtu.be/VyV54YwPAkk

Seems fitting right now.

It's in times like these that I remember my grandfather and what was important to him.

Well, hello everyone. Call me Skye - I'm a chronic online lurker who hopped over from other outlets because I don't want to support them anymore after recent events.

I'll probably be pretty quiet on here, I don't talk a lot in general. It's nice to meet you, whoever reads this.
