Also dyslexic. And can I say how unfair it is for a member of the trans community to be dyslexic? IYKYK

I don't think people understand. Even if the current administration were to vanish into thin air and everything turned out ok: trans people are never trusting the government or their fellow citizens again. Many gender markers will never be changed again bc we can't trust you not to elect fascists.

I cannot overstate how important this video is. Contra doesn't have a bad video, but this one is pretty much required viewing for anyone who hasn't yet grappled with the banal ubiquity of conspiracist thinking that led us to fascism.

TIL this body's likely #intersex. This body has many signs of being intersex, but tests are beyond the budget. Then I discovered that having almost no body changes despite E and T levels being at "change level" is a very strong sign of being intersex. Which is kind of unfortunate.

This is the stuff @juliaserano.bsky.social has written about again and again - trans women are sexualized by cis people to the point that them just existing and talking about their experiences is portrayed as "explicit" and "pornographic." They are seen as forever corrupted by their bodies.
New, from me: Tulsi Gabbard purged trans intelligence officers after a Chris Rufo smear campaign.
They were targeted because they were trans, their words were mischaracterized, and they were offered no due process.

I know people who cheer for cutting social programs—not to save money, but because they believe some lives just aren’t worth saving. Social Darwinism with a eugenics twist isn’t rare. That warning bell rang before, but when cruelty gets the green light, it spreads fast.

The House Dems need to demand a vote to decertify the 14th Amndmnt's prohibition against insurrectionists holding federal office, to enable #TheRapistTraitor to be seated, also per the 14th. Only Congress can allow him to take office. BUT THE GOP DOESN'T HAVE THE 2/3rd majority VOTES TO CARRY IT.

"There is still time" is such a strong line- both compassionate & urgent. It says you can still change, still choose compassion—for yourself & others. But “still” carries weight-it reminds us time isn’t infinite. As fascism grows, we must remember: there is still time for kindness, but it is finite.

Horror video game protagonists coming across ammo early in the game before scary stuff has happened:
“Huh, just some ammo lying around in the only kitchen drawer I can open. Well, that’s not ominous. I don’t even have a gun but I guess I’ll put it in my pocket for noooooo reason.”

So, Belle of the Fifth Column has an interesting perspective on the media against the Trump campaign, so I'm just going to drop this here because grass roots are an aspect of it. Let's face it - doing it the way it's been done hasn't worked yet. #leftist #media youtu.be/Coch44bVNGU?...

Contemplating tabletop #RPG topics, namely violence in its presence and absence. #DnD is built around combat (don't bother saying otherwise - it's 80% of the rules), and other games are similar, but some entirely remove it. So I'm thinking of how to include violence without it being central.

And now here. Welcome to the new community, I suppose, maybe this one will stick. Been gotten kicked out of two queer Jewish spaces because of being anti-genocide and one non-Jewish queer space because of being Jewish. Is every intersection this sharp or sharper?
