i'd say there's a bit longer of a countdown before you'd be found using tor/signal than say, texting/social media/discord but Threema is the most secure and depending on vpn/linux/custom os, one could have a few layers of security

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a pioneering trans activist from the Stonewall era on and a woman who lived an extraordinary life, has died. She was one tough customer. I have always loved this quote from her and if you've ever tried to ascertain the truth about a moment in history, you may relate to it.

“If you ask me something I’m gonna tell you the truth, you know. And it has to do with my perception of things, not theirs or what someone else has said. They aren’t me. They weren’t in my skin at that time. They didn’t perceive anything that I perceived. And yeah, I’m older and yeah, memory adds stuff or takes away stuff. Well, that’s just what it fuckin’ does. I’m still here and fuck you.”
--From New York City Trans Oral History Project Interview with Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, excerpted in The Stonewall Reader

"no negativity" has become a very blatant dog whistle for "let's not face reality" and that shit is wacky af in 2025.
how the hell will you help anyone if you can't even talk about "tough topics"?
it's some coward shit.
get real + get organizing with folks who can handle a lil discomfort like now.

Reminder for those attending 50501 SoCal’s No Kings protest this Saturday. The organizers have a history of coordinating with LAPD pigs ahead of their parades. Here’s communication between the 50501 SoCal founders and LAPD regarding last April’s protest.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

“We may be witnessing the emergence of a population-level acquired immune deficiency — not sexually transmitted, but airborne.”

That line isn’t from a tweet. It’s from a peer-reviewed paper in AJPM Focus (2025).

Super fun things about being trans masc and not being able to afford medical care:

- still get full dose of misogyny from society

- but now get told you're a man so you suck

- but you're not actually a man bc no HRT or surgery so just a confused woman: extra misogyny

- fits in literally nowhere

You know what's up, but most ppl are committed to making it personal and that conflicts with their lil ego because they can't imagine they're capable of any harm despite doing harm daily but refusing to adapt to a changed world.

The thing that will always make me sad is watching people from one oppressed group straight up dismiss another group cause to protect them is a slight inconvenience.

A lot of people really just keep finding new and increasingly revealing ways of saying:
"I already care enough as it is, now back to me"
at seemingly every chance and then expect all of the rest of us to just accept that and continue treating them the same.
Many aren't even aware they're doing it.

ALT text is your friend and a friend to us all

Screenshot of the blue sky app menu which you can open on the top left. It has the accessibility item circled.

When you click the accessibility item you end up in a submenu, where you can activate the Alt text requirements. If activated you always need to add alt text when you add an image to your post.

Watch Children of Men.
Decide which role you're going to play.
You're already doing it.
The future is now.
Who will you be?

A fantastic reimagined drawing of the cover of the film Children of Men, where a Black Woman in a red tint stands looking weary above scenes from the movie set in an encompassing ocean scene with 2 figures on a boat while a large barge approaches them
