if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason

I hope one day my partner and are surrounded by community again to hold and be held by on days like today. It's a heavy thing to carry alone.

I write
to metabolize grief
a meal I never seem able to finish
for food keeps being piled onto the table
seemingly endlessly
I look upon this tiresome feast
with bleary eyes and a sore mouth
breaking apart at the seams of my being
always thinking the last bite will see me done
as I take the next
to metabolize grief
a meal I never seem able to finish
for food keeps being piled onto the table
seemingly endlessly
I look upon this tiresome feast
with bleary eyes and a sore mouth
breaking apart at the seams of my being
always thinking the last bite will see me done
as I take the next
TDOR fast approaches & I find myself thinking, dreaming solemnly
I dream solemnly
of a day of rememberance
for me and my kin
true to its name
The painful incidents long past
still tender
not wounds open anew
each time a sibling falls
Fresh blood
Grief gashing
Lost lines
I dream of revenge
I dream solemnly
of a day of rememberance
for me and my kin
true to its name
The painful incidents long past

not wounds open anew

AIDS activists included many trans women and supporters of trans rights. Many are sadly passing away in recent years, after fighting AIDS for decades.
Even still, one activist in hospice care became animated when pleading for trans people to take to the streets and fight for our healthcare again.

Protect your neighbors on the street!
We must fight back against efforts to dehumanize and disappear our unhoused neighbors. Something you can do is to join a local mutual aid or #StoptheSweeps group, to fight police encampment sweeps and the criminalization of poverty.

On Monday I learned that my transmission died. This comes not even six months into pouring thousands of dollars into keeping my truck running (as no single repair exceeded its value). Considering its age it makes zero sense to pay for repairs. Here’s the link gofund.me/d18e5e1a8
