What were you proud of in 2025?
2025 was a challenging year—personally and professionally as well as in the world.

Liberal / carceral feminist podcasts are so hilarious:
“And all the people in Devon’s life, and all the institutions that are supposed to prevent kids from slipping through the cracks… did they MISS all the signs that Devon was heading for disaster??”

reflections on the current trope/myth of the trans mass shooter, histories of armed community self defense, and the weirdness of working to help address criminalization of young, urban BIPOC gun users as a white trans woman in this moment. transitionalwisdoms.substack.com/p/rethinking...
Rethinking My Relationship to Firearms
I began working on this post in September, then got interrupted by fear, along with work for my multiple simultaneous consulting gigs, part-time roles, and personal projects.

So thrilled to FINALLY get copies of 'Let This Radicalize You' and 'Read This When Things Fall Apart'. One copy to pass around right away. One to read and then start passing! @mskellymhayes.bsky.social @prisonculture.bsky.social

I really want cis folks to understand the situation - trans women face widespread employment discrimination and live in devastating poverty.
Meanwhile, the woman who came in fifth place in a swimming competition, ONCE, makes a million+ a year to advocate for destroying our rights.

If Riley's doing speeches 40 times a year, assuming breaks, she'd be making between $600,000 and $999,960 a year pre-tax. She's a fucking millionaire who has made her entire career of harassing a singular trans woman into exile. I legit thought Lia Thomas was dead until she did a recent interview.

When I was living as a gay boy, I wanted to be a villainess. As a trans woman, I’ve instead begun to identify with heroines. Someday I will make enough sense of this to write something about it.

Seeing these two side by side really drives the transmisogny of longlegs and weapons home for me. Like no, my love and I are not crazy, these dudebro filmmakers are 100 percent marshaling trans panic tropes even if they have no idea they’re doing it. (The films’ narratives further support this).

I haven’t listened to Dar Williams in over a decade, but I just tried this new track and …. Am puzzled about the decision to release a song about olive trees and democracy in 2025 that says nothing abt / has nothing to do w/ Palestine

God I hate those care react emojis over at what Mariame Kaba calls fedbook. They make me feel completely pitied and “othered” which I don’t think is most of my friends’ intention. If tangible care isn’t available (can’t buy groceries with an emoji), I’d usually much rather see anger.

I used to do this. JDI is inviting folks to write holiday cards to incarcerated people. It's simple: you sign up and they send you cards to write: justdetention.org/woh/ - perfect for people who are homebound.
