I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 8d

1. It's shutdown day, and anti-trans provisions are on the line... either today, or in a few more weeks if a clean continuing resolution passes.

Trump posted a video this morning blaming a shutdown on trans people and immigrants.

Here is your shutdown guide.

It’s been the honor of a lifetime to work on this series with @xanthe.bsky.social , who brought the kids and their adventures to life and infused the books with so much humor, awesome battles, and heart. I hope you enjoy our final book…for now!

This book is from Tyler’s perspective and is really special to me. He feels like the closest character to who I was in middle school and I loved getting to tell this part of his and Sunny’s story. Discovering role playing transformed my life at that age and I loved getting to write about that!

Rest in power, Assata Shakur.

"A wall is just a wall
and nothing more at all.
It can be broken down.

I believe in living
I believe in birth
I believe in the sweat of love
and in the fire of truth.

And i believe that a lost ship
steered by tired, seasick sailors,
can still be guided home
to port."

Kakuya Shakur
Just now -

At approximately 1:15 PM on September
25th, my mother, Assata Shakur, took her
last earthly breath. Words cannot describe
the depth of loss that | am feeling at this
time. | want to thank you for your loving
prayers that continue to anchor me in the
strength that | need in this moment. My spirit
is overflowing in unison with all of you who
are grieving with me at this time.
Sending much love and appreciation to you
all,

Kakuya Shakur

two moods (that are one mood)

two post it notes arranged like comic panels. the first says 'GOD what a weird time to come out as trans' with a drawing of the author taking a photo of his top surgery. the second says 'I'M SO GLAD I CAME OUT AS TRANS' with the author against a backdrop of flames.

I am so incredibly certain that we will outlive them and make sure they are remembered accurately; as tiny, desperate men gasping for relevance in a world which does not want them and has never needed them. but I resent that we have to think of them at all.

like GOD we all have better things to be doing! lives to be lived! art to be made! gay sex to be had! perfectly ripe stone fruit to be eaten! and yet I have to know the names of people who are not worth the air it takes to talk about them!!!
