I think right now would be a good time for you to buy physical copies of my enthusiastically queer, transsexual books about a far-future world where another way of life is possible

Also, it makes no difference if the work is recent or old.

Pls assume anything adjacent to non-binary perspective is fair game even if not explicitly so-- third gender, two-spirit, hijra etc. are all welcome perspectives. The whole idea is to look outside of USian/Western frameworks, paradigms, & perspectives, pls don't filter it through this lens.

Needing suggestions for #nonbinary related #literature from non-USian authors or perspectives.

Especially looking for non-white, non-Western works, but still happy to receive those, as well.

Thank you! 🙏

Yes, I'm unhinged.

But also, why are you *hinged*?

And to what have you hinged yourself?

Revoluciana screenshot, Mastodon:

Sometimes I wonder what would happen to the world if cishet women could internalize that the stuff that they are made to hate about themselves is often the stuff that queer women often find most attractive in other women.

I wonder what it would do to their self-worth and confidence. To their empowerment. To know that someone, anyone, values them for what they have.

And I wonder what that would do to patriarchy.

A casting choice that sounds weird but I think would really work is if you made a Winnie the Pooh movie and cast Willem Dafoe as Rabbit

every genocide and act of oppression is 'complicated,' when it's really not at all.

I started reading this earlier at the doctor's office, but then got home, & other priorities took precedence. Given how demoralized I feel, I am returning to it and hoping that posting quotes that resonate as I go may help me with finishing it. Channeling my past self, who read 450+ books in 2017! 🥹

Admittedly, at first I thought it was mildly funny, then the more I thought about it, the more annoyed I got.

Revoluciana @revoluciana.net · Sep 7

Considering practically all the top user results on Reddit for "stone top" are queer results, the AI answer Reddit gives about granite countertops feels like an egregious example of queer erasure.

I hate AI so fucking much.

Search results for "Stone Top" on Reddit:

"Answers

Choosing the right stone top can be overwhelming. Redditors recommend leathered granite for its durability and low maintenance. For those looking for lighter options, quartzite and soapstone are also good choices.

Leathered Granite: "Leathered granite is a safe bet for staining, maintenance, etc after its been sealed properly..."

The "stuff" they want to build are surveillance states, slave labour camps, and paramilitary organizations.

Yesterday I picked up an order from a local blacksmith & he mentioned in passing, no prompting whatsoever, if I ever wanted to learn to blacksmith from a trans woman or even just someone queer that he could set it up for me.

And now I think I have no choice but to see this through.

Transphobes Can't Read @lordaslan.bsky.social · Sep 2

Reminder that chromosomes, gametes, genitals etc are all irrelevant to our assessment of a person's gender when you meet them. So transphobes insistence that these are what defines a woman is total nonsense.

It's just a sports ban.
It's just a bathroom ban.
It's just a healthcare for kids ban.
It's just a military service ban.
It's just a federal jobs ban.
It's just a university housing ban.
It's just a passport & visa ban.
It's just one Constitutional right.
It's just your status as free citizens.

I'm thinking about writing a newsletter on what it's like to work in healthcare, specifically as an MA at a PCP/HIV office. Sharing everything I can. Would this be helpful for anyone? I have so much in my brain that just isn't common knowledge, but in a field that everyone uses constantly. Thoughts?

Ofc Dems are horny for Gavin Newsom *even though* he is trying to kill trans people.

They loved Genocide Joe and Kamala, too *even though* they want to kill Palestinians.

And Obama was a war criminal, too.

*Even though* is a silly phrase when for them it's not a bug, it's a feature.

ISO tentacle smut involving 19th/early 20th revolutionary figures, especially anarchists, but will settle for eccentric Marxists as long as it's CW'd.

we had a moment where the feds gave the unemployed $600/week EXTRA annnnnd guaranteed healthcare for everyone annnnnnd prevented evictions.

people were able to breathe for a minute, financially, & took to the streets against police brutality & systemic racism.

so the government shut it down.

For decades, the U.S. has showered corporations with subsidies and tax breaks and bailed them out while rarely asking for much—or anything—in return.

If taxpayer money is going to prop up private firms, as it has for decades, then taxpayers deserve a share of the gains, too. trib.al/s355CA4

The One Area Where Democrats Should Follow Trump’s Lead

The federal government should take a stake in more corporations, actually.

Revoluciana @revoluciana.net · Sep 1

For the record, I'm aware it's "daylight saving" not "savings" but if you post it properly you're going to get outed as a plant soooooo quick.

That's what liberals are supposedly good for right? Tiny wins and *incremental change*, right?

You know, the stuff that doesn't make real systemic change.

Revoluciana @revoluciana.net · Sep 1

This wouldn't work for super important things, but it would be great if liberals could infiltrate x and truthsocial to start campaigns saying like, "daylight savings is woke" so that it gets canceled by executive order, just so that we can all get some tiny wins.
