Trans woman, she/her
I just heard someone describe “Popular” as Glinda’s “I Want Song”, and I took psychic damage.

My Wicked hot take: Glinda is in love with Elpheba, but Elpheba is not in love with Glinda.

I’m honestly a little upset about how Elpheba and Fiyero treat her, Glinda does her best and nobody tells her anything. Like, Elpheba hides her away where she can witness her staged death.

Brutal 💔

Discount Tire will check your tire pressure and fill them up *FOR FREE*.

This is really great for disabled folks who struggle with kneeling down to put air in their own tires.
Remember folks, during winter every ten degree temperature drop lowers your tire’s PSI by 1 so it’s very important to go to the gas station and notice that the air thing doesn’t work and then do that five more times at five different gas stations

that means money & favor. in every case from the uk girl guides to us healthcare and education, they all explicitly tell you right to your faces that they are kicking trans people out for money & favor. what the fuck do y'all think collaboration is, exactly? like what do you think it looks like??
Based on recent court cases involving anything to do with trans rights, the judiciary is not on their side.

Expensive legal fees would mean they would likely need to cut back their services in other areas.

i hope every single person who still buys harry potter merch or engages with that franchise is happy that they're literally making girl guides cry

girl guides uk have been forced very much against their will to exclude trans girls. full statement is here: www.girlguiding.org.uk/information-...

When writing this piece, I kept thinking back to this Instagram post I saw from a trans woman the other day. This is what I'm talking about. Watch this:

there is no debate to be had. its polemic.

and it goes back to terfs kicking trans women out of lesbian conferences and turning around and insisting that their cis boyfriends were allies enough to be there in the 70s.

i cant meet "you dont think im human" with logic.

i kind of hope that if you're following me you don't need me to tell you this but it's been a long time since i've been a fangirl openly online so listen:

this is the best goddamn trans wish fulfillment story there is, period.

you should already be reading it, but if you aren't, now's the time.

They made "spinster" into a misogynistic slur; a spinster was a woman who was financially independent because she was good enough at making cloth and clothing that she didn't have to submit to the patriarchal construct of marriage.
it's worse than that: the machines could crank out a larger volume of shittier cloth *and* didn't require a lot of training to operate

so instead of paying the same workers the same price for more cloth, they got a bunch of orphaned kids to work the machines
An easy way to explain luddites:

Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand.

And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before.

That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

Something that frustrates me a bit and was touched on in a recent convo with friends is that a lot of people will see an injustice or wrong in society and their solution is to only try to address it with big picture actions. I really want more people to understand the impact small community work 1/

This is such a common that in lieu of another term for this phenomenon I've termed it "socially adaptive aposematism".

It's possible that he thinks axiomatically that the days where people get beat up because they are gay are behind us, and as such nothing he could do could lead to it happening more.

This is a feckless and disqualifying perspective for a political figure to have.
“I thought the days of beating up people because they were gay were well behind us”

Says the straight man who approvingly visited anti-LGBT+ churches, brought anti-LGBT+ lobbyists into the heart of his own government, and still refuses to deliver a conversion-therapy abuse ban
"[...] the Labour leader said the homophobic attack left him worried for the future of the UK"

Futuristic sci-fi setting: the US finally manages to make good LLMs at the same time as the American Empire collapses. English ceases to be a spoken language but is preserved as the primary coding language.

There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.

I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”
