I wrote a new song called “Aftertaste.”

It’s written in the future.

Last night I had a dream that I was going to town on Alexander Skarsgård’s armpit and I fell asleep. That’s how tired I am.

We knew they might try to eat one of us while we slept, but that was their right. We were on their land. We just had to stay alert. (2/4)

Pretty stark look at the devastation that the GOP's murderbill will inflict on New Mexico, the only possible "wins" on the cover are RECA renewal and border security expansion, the latter of which should be seen as not a triumph of law but a threat to democracy.

Been sharing this with folk. One question that keeps coming up is if there are additional sources. Do you know of any other folks who have posted about it or posted pics? I want to keep warning folks, but also want to have more to offer them. Thank you!

Covid is a social justice issue.

If we cared about reducing transmission, we would be providing respirators, tests, vaccines, paxlovid and paid time off to everyone.

If you can’t afford a mask, make sure to check for a local mask bloc!

Dr ICE Scream Maker: Slasher of Fash 🔪 @pwr2dppl.bsky.social · Jun 5

A gameshow called Don't Call the Cops where contestants comedically problem solve staged community issues without calling the cops. Filmed in front of a live studio audience that yells out Don't Call the Cops as needed.

PBS should air a procedural drama where communities solve problems and distrust the police.

transphobes: "we should reduce your numbers, take away your rights, legally define you out of existence."

trans people: "fuck you."

media: "trans row erupts, gender-critical campaigners speak of how 'abuse' by trans activists is silencing their voices in debate."

Pedro Pascal's wager: The odds that your internet comments are seen by Pedro Pascal are low, but not quite zero. Therefore, even if you're a transphobic bigot, you shouldn't say so in case Pedro Pascal sees it and you disappoint him.

Trans resistance stories are going to help get us through this.

Someday we’ll tell younger folks how we did it in this moment.

When I came out as trans in 2000, transsexual was the word I used. There was always an edge to the word propelled by stigma, maybe also because it had the word sexual in it? It it was always a bold and spicy word, then… contd

“Transsexuality save lives” and other notes from the street!

Daily reminder that if you don't know what to do right now, masking in public is possibly the simplest, most accessible act of resistance available to us.

They're attacking disability rights and our access to healthcare for a reason. Masking is a visible sign of solidarity, and it matters. So much.

My only regret is those polo shirts I wore in the early 2000s.
