Everything we do to resist matters.

Just existing as a queer person worth loving matters.

queer joy is a protest
loving your neighbor is action
participating in community strengthens us

shit sucks, but we will win

National Guards and Federal law enforcement being used to invade and occupy/brutalize the cities of other states the President has deemed political enemies is pretty much definitionally civil war.

I suspect we will reach "CNN reporter in flak jacket and helmet" when the gangs unite.

I will keep saying it: the civil war is here. It has already begun. Only one side is fighting, and that must change.

I genuinely don't think we're contending with or accepting just how bad things have become, and just how much danger we're in.

Fundamentally I think people are expecting that normalcy will somehow reassert itself, and that's just not going to happen here.

It is an unacceptable Ask to tell people who are the victims and the potential victims of fascist violence to just sit and take it instead of actually asking their government to protect and fight for them we have sovereignty and democracy, or we have neither, and we have to force that now.

I think we need to ban cishet people from divorcees because they have a biological advantage over me.

This post is so indescribably important.

We all have a collective duty to protect society's children. All children. Including our trans ones.

Thinking about the early closeted days as a teenager and a memory I hadn't thought about for ages popped in my head.

As a teen I was DEEP in the Experimentation->Shame->Repression->Repeat cycle that lasted until I came out at 28 and one way I experimented was sneaking make up from my stepmother

on the FLIP side the worst part about being a trans woman is that i can't ever look at porn without going "oh that's my mutual" "oh i have her blocked" "oh she's really annoying" every five minutes. you bitches ruined my favourite fetish category

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 11h

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!
