Left Twitter in November 2022. I'm mostly using Mastodon for social media, but have made an account here to follow good sources of news for trans people and hopefully find a few of my mutuals from my Twitter days. Probably won't post much here.

It's likely I won't post much at all here, but I should make an intro post to let people know I am here and legitimate.

I'm a trans woman. I left Twitter in early November 2022 and mostly use Mastodon for my social media. Here now so I can follow trans sources regarding news but also hope

The Trump Regime Smear Machine is now a taxpayer funded venture that smears victims of state violence by justifying their killing. This should be familiar, it is a common practice in the aftermath of police shootings of black people (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

For a long time I've tried to hold onto my optimism that humanity can improve itself and do better.

Then social media came along and seeing what I see now, I don't know anymore. It feels like the worst impulses of human beings are taking over.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Honestly my fictional corporate police state on www.nationstates.net/nation=poult... has more uplifting and upbeat news than the USA.

Nothing so much fun as being in a country led by a malignant narcissist who is developing old age dementia.

All you can do these days is look at the news and scream.

Somehow I don't think having a malignant narcissist who descending and dwindling into some illness caused form of elderly dementia is a good thing to have as a leader of the country.

I recently retired an old cardigan sweater and used it to make Ginza's cat bed cozier. She seems to like it.

It's a happy day when you go looking for potatoes but end up finding your missing red knit hat and flannel pajama bottoms.

I sure look forward to each day and how Trump manages to say or do something even worse than the day before.

Tried making a lentil soup today for the first time ever. It turned out really good and it's definitely going in the rotation of easy crockpot meals. A crockpot is a vital kitchen utensil when you're a low spoon person. You can cook up a few days worth of meals without a whole lot of fuss & effort.

Any candy with coconut, that stuff is awful.
In the spirit of @crushbort.bsky.social post about antagonizing Trick or Treaters with bad candy, what's your bottom of the barrel candy, the one that fills you with rage and disappointment in equal measure?

For me it's Circus Peanuts. Styrofoam peanuts sprayed a sickly shade of orange isn't candy

About the only thing I can recommend about fall and winter is how it becomes time to make soups and soup is a wonderful food.

@catsofyore.bsky.social While browsing through scanned archives of the magazine Chess Review, which was published from 1933 to 1969, I found a cat! People who have watched Netflix's The Queen's Gambit will recognize that Chess Review was the magazine shoplifted by Beth Harmon.

One thing I do every evening is look out to the south of me and watch the orange glow in the sky of Portland Oregon being burnt to the ground. Although maybe that's Seattle and I'm too far away to see the fires of war-ravaged Portland.

You want gender ideology? I'll give you a gender ideology: one that insists you are the gender assigned to you at birth by someone who has no clue as to how you will end up developing emotionally, psychologically, and physically.

They want to use American cities as training grounds for troops from the Department of War. They're essentially declaring American cities as war zones and that they will use the military upon them.

There's a big difference in feel when you change from a pair of Doc Marten knee high boots to a pair of minimalist sneakers.

The sheer absurdity of Trumpism will break the brains of historians of American history for centuries to come.
