You voted to strip the healthcare away from the trans children of active duty military.
THRILLED to see us pass our annual defense bill, which contains a sizable raise for our servicemembers, investments in child care facilities, food security assistance, and more. Glad to support the needs of servicemembers by getting this done.

We need more people to be comfortable saying that preventing a category of people from existing is, at best, eugenics.

I may be sick, in pain, and exhausted, but I'm determined to survive and fight—especially as a Black, queer, disabled enby.
Marsha didn't throw that brick just to have us all go back underground.

The ban only makes sense if you consider "trans children surviving to become trans adults" as a harm, as a failure state.
The ban only makes sense if you think most trans kids dying so *some* desist and identify as cis is a success.

The worst said about the use of puberty blockers for youth gender dysphoria is that the evidence, while generally positive, isn't as strongly positive as it could be.
On this basis lawmakers are instituting bans.
No harm has been demonstrated and no other treatments have any evidence whatever.

please listen to @dreamstates.bsky.social and @ryancassata.bsky.social . As it becomes harder and more dangerous to perform live, online trans plays/playlists and sharing with cis friends will be key in humanizing trans folk.

As my friend Kiese Laymon says — and I believe posted this the other day — “there is no safety, only safer” especially for black queer people. Something I have been saying for years is “there’s nowhere I could go in America and not be in America.”
Thanks for assuming I didn’t understand this tho.

Not picking on this guy but Patriot Front loves marching in Boston. Their whole thing is to run small numbers in major metros to scare people. Fear is what they want. They are incel dweebs. Don’t give them what they want.
I walked four hours today. Cried all over Boston and Cambridge. Saw some art as well as a modern dance performance.
Lots of convos with terrified friends and neighbors, many of whom are planning on leaving Ohio.

what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?
what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?
what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?
what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?

The hardest part is that I wanna create stuff (art, writing, music), but so much of my enery is focused on survival now that I can't. ☹️

Considering the number of posts I see expressing the idea that you shouldn't ask your friends for help moving and that basic kindness is now "emotional labor," that you should hire someone to do that for you, yeah, "throw money at it" has become people's one and only solution.

There are gonna be disabled folks who can't contribute anything to The Cause. They have no money, no energy, no physical ability, no time. They will need to receive and will never be able to give back. You gotta save them, too. Especially them.
Please don't leave disabled people behind in your revolution. Please do not see us as sacrifices for the greater good, or dead weight. Please see our lives as worth saving, too.
