For Transgender Awareness Week, are you aware that there's a trans masc feed?

Trans masc stories are rarely heard, but you can follow the feed, see folks just living their lives, and see how human we actually are.

I am an X refugee seeking a saner platform with content that informs, stimulates good conversations and learning because truth, kindness and facts matter.

Someone pointed out that the post war baby boom wasn't bc ppl were so happy the war was over or even the US's new prosperity but the fact that a lot of new vaccines/antiviral medicines existed & they were the 1st generation of kids who all largely survived into adulthood
People died.

That’s what happened without vaccines or proper medical care or sewage or food safety.

Rules and regulations for those things are there because if not, people get sick and die. And fairly young at that.

People had so many kids bc so many died (and birth control wasn’t available).
People were not healthier in the past. They just weren't. There was no pre-industrial Eden where people drank raw milk and river water and lived healthy, pain-free lives. You cannot retvrn to good health.

This doctor saved lives.
Palestinian lives.
That’s why Israel raped and killed him.

That’s the message Israel sends to the world.

Can you hear em?

We are in the “Semmelweiss is crazy” era of airborne infection history. If we survive this, decades in the future, the people who refused to wear respies will be seen the same way the doctors who refused to wash their hands are seen now - as disgusting, arrogant, and filthy.

Absolutely hate the cesspool of Musk’s X, but it remains a critical source of information & conversation in spite of all that. Thinking of the Amsterdam story for instance.

Alternative spaces take time to build but they can’t duplicate the form and function of the original. Given how little coverage Gaza is getting right now — when it’s so critical--completely leaving Twitter/X can be disastrous.

I use Twitter primarily these days for news / commentary on Gaza - Bluesky doesn’t have it, especially when it’s kicking off Palestinians in Gaza. So, I’m gonna be where Palestinian journalists are.✨

I lost another friend due to politics - or rather due to ableism & misogyny that I believe stemmed from our political landscape

It was a harsh goodbye & a reminder of how many brutally hateful people are hiding in plain sight.

My article about how eugenicist pandemic policies paved way for this:
How Did We Get Here and What Comes Next?
Disabled people have been warning others for nearly 5 years that eugenicist Covid policies would lead to a rise of fascist, racist, bigoted, misogynistic hatred. It's here now. So what’s next?
