i just had fat transfer breast aug and body contouring! gonna thread my thoughts here - i had a limited understanding of what it would be like going in; it's a less common procedure and part of a whole family of them so there's limited info out there. hope this helps someone who's considering it!

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

HIM had some of the best and some of the worst visuals I've seen this year, Marlon Wayans killed it, but i can't call it anything more than solid overall

My dad disappeared from his Baltimore trucking company when I was a kid. 20 years later, I went looking for answers.

I did it to survive.

In telling this story, I hope in some way to help others do the same.

“Whatever Happened to Eddy Crane?” is out in April 2026. This is the cover…

Book cover. The scene is a narrow street with row homes lit by street lamp along the left, with brick stoops. The title is in white sans serif: Whatever Happened to Eddy Crane? The subtitle is smaller, in gold: a memoir and a murder investigation. My name, kate crane, is in white caps. The blurb at the top says: Beautifully crafted. Crane stirred the embers of a Baltimore cold case everyone else was willing to forget – her father’s. —David Simon.

"Jimmy Buffett is the King in Yellow to Margaritaville's Carcosa" I thought, causing all of my past therapists to sit bolt upright in bed not knowing why they suddenly felt ashamed of themselves.

Please share this as widely as possible. ICE kidnapped a 7th grader in Everett, Massachusetts and sent him to Virginia. Help bring him home now!

Ooooh 🧐 I don't know how to take this because why?

After all the work we do as Natives to move away from this outdated, stereotypical imagery steeped in racism and erasure and this is what we get on Indigenous Peoples' Day and its being shared and reshared on such a huge level.

Today, a thread to honor and celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
The world is so big, so there will be a second and maybe a third part.
We will begin with Zuni weaver We’wha (1849-1896).

🧵 1/20

Robin (she/he-ella/él) @merryrobin.bsky.social · Aug 27

We’wha (1849-1896), a notable weaver and potter Lhamana (Zuni Two Spirit), took on both masculine and feminine tasks as a Zuni cultural ambassador and pottery and textile artist.
Also a spiritual leader, We’wha endeavored to preserve the history, traditions, and knowledge of the Zuni people.

A black and white, full body portrait of We'wha, a highly respected cultural figure in Zuni culture, known as a "lhamana" (two spirits). We'wha is standing, looking at the camera, wearing traditional Zuni attire, with patterned clothing, woven belts, a long beaded necklace, and earrings. The hair is styled with side buns adorned with ribbons.

Happy Indigenous People's day, did you know that up to 5,500,000 Indigenous people were enslaved? A fact that is often erased because Indigenous erasure is ingrained in American society.

Brown.edu -- "Native American slavery "is a piece of the history of slavery that has been glossed over," Fisher said. "Between 1492 and 1880, between 2 and 5.5 million Native Americans were enslaved in the Americas in addition to
12.5 million African slaves.""

constant dissonance between how each of perceive ourselves and how others perceive us is good, right?
