With all that said:

People calling themselves my opps are treated as such.

People calling themselves my allies should act as such.

None of that moral indulgences shit. I don't care who you are.

I will try to focus on things I enjoy, but I am also outspoken and angry. Expect me to get bitey.

I sometimes worry I tire people out with these righteous screeds, but repetition is a means to habit-building.

And I'd rather get in the habit of at least trying to prevent us repeating history.

Because we cannot afford to make those sorts of mistakes again.

"I should probably log off now before something really taxing happens."

Trump complains about his Time Magazine cover photo in new post:

"the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They "disappeared" my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown... Really weird!"

By the way there also isn’t a homogeneous experience of being trans in “the west“. And if there would be, Ari Drennen is for sure wouldn’t be representative of it.

Trans women are famously the group of people who are so decadent they need to do crowdfunding for the bare necessities every month.

If women’s autonomy over their own bodies is the first thing you attack, maybe goddamn sit with your feelings. Quietly.

Valerie @vibingvalerie.bsky.social · 21h

Are women bourgeois?

Ari: WELL I AM

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I'm sorry.

reminded me it’s been ages since I heard someone use the verb “flaunt” with such contempt (in part because her heirs have settled on “groom” instead)

Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Help Grey sell Merch!

GREY / TEETH 🍉🔻 @sadomasochist.bsky.social · Jun 21

There’s been new additions to my Etsy after such a long break! Been working hard on cleaning up designs for merch and prints. Hope people end up enjoying them as much as I love making them.

www.etsy.com/shop/nekroma...

A print of a digital painting— pochita, and orange dog with a chainsaw coming out from his head, being held up by two hands. The background is in shades of greens.

A canvas print. Two veiled figures in red hold onto each other, the center is a deck of cards facing upwards, the top asking; What about you feels hardest to love?

Oyasumi punpun crop top, a panel from the manga in pink and white + black lines and shadows. Aiko, a young girl, kisses punpun, a small bird-like creature

Another Pochita! This time, the same digital painting is on a tan tote bag, with added flowers on the prints borders.

My sister Rafeef is crying from the extreme cold. She just wants winter clothes to feel warm like the other children. The cold hurts her more than words can explain. Please... help us with a warm piece of clothing, a blanket, anything that will soothe a shivering little girl. 🥺🤲
