Still looking for places and desperately hoping my lead from the beginning of this month doesn't fall through on me. I'm honestly...not doing great this month. Trying to balance paying for a place I can't afford while trying to find a cheaper place is taking it out of me.

Looking for leads on Seattle area housing! Please hit me up if you know of a place that can accommodate:

- Two trans girls
- A very chill medium sized dog
- Lots of music / video gear
- Loud noises

Under $1500/mo is ideal!

I don’t know whether I should feel more sorry

for the people who follow me to hear about shoegaze & get a bunch of trans posts

OR

for the people who follow me for the trans posts & get a bunch of music promo.

Newsom vetoing improved access to prep for expense reasons is wild.

Do you think it is more expensive to prevent HIV than treat it? What a fascinating mind. Reaganesque, you might say.

WA state already passed an HRT stockpile bill and there is no evidence that healthcare costs have risen significantly because of it.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 1d

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 1d

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.

what did she call us | patreon.com/lubchansky

PANEL 1: MATTIE and one other person are handcuffed on a platform over a big cylindrical vat full of glowing liquid. Behind them, TWO ARMED TROOPERS stand. One is shouting, next to a big lever.
TROOPER: You have all been charged with sexual deviance under the new statutes!
TROOPER: You are hereby sentenced…

PANEL 2: Closer in on MATTIE and the person next to her.
TROOPER (VO): …To being dropped into a big vat of acid, thus dissolving your perverted bodies!
MATTIE: I sure did prefer life before we were overrun by fascist stormtroopers.

PANEL 3: The TROOPERS look at each other.
TROOPER 2: Sorry…What did she-he call us?
TROOPER 1: NOT Cool…

PANEL 4: The other TROOPER from panel 3. He's crying, and pulls the lever. Some acid splashes into the frame.
TROOPER: STOP BULLYING ME!
SFX: CLUNK
SFX: SPLASH

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

"Trans issues aren't this shameful thing that Democratic consultants suggest we hide from, it's the same fight undocumented immigrants are fighting, or those who can't access health care are fighting. Sometimes the undocumented immigrants and the people who can't afford health care are also trans."

i wish I wasn’t surprised on the verge of tears when a cis politician strongly comes out in defense of trans people

it’s really so easy to do, and once you see that, it becomes clear why so many others… don’t

Anyone who voted to pass the NDAA today devoid of the amendments proposed to reign in the deployment of troops to US cities but somehow still full of anti-LGBTQ riders— thus supplying nearly a trillion dollars to an occupying army, will be remembered in history books as having helped end democracy.

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative
