Likes do not equal agreement but they are probably indicative of a sensible little chuckle

Rest in power, Mama Major! 💜🙏🏽

It was a blessing to live in the same earthly timeline as you. A true freedom fighter, you never stopped reminding trans people—especially Black trans people—of our worth and our power.

Because of Major, our foundation is unshakeable and our liberation inevitable.

September 2024 in Washington, D.C.
I’m standing beside the legend, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, at the Gender Liberation March under a white tent. Both of us are wearing flowing white outfits and warm smiles, holding hands in a moment of tenderness and strength.

The New York City Trans Oral History Project has this wonderful two hour oral history with Miss Major. Take some time to listen to it; it's quite extraordinary. We have learned so much from Miss Major. nyctransoralhistory.org/interview/mi...

Just a reminder that, while Charlie Kirk gets a day of remembrance and flags at half staff, the parents of 1st graders who were blown to bits have spent over a decade defending against death threats by cretins who called it a hoax and Alex Jones profiting off their grief.

BREAKING

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal from Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors.

*Goose game meme* HOW DID THEY BECOME PUBLIC FIGURES, ALEX

🎃 scary trust fund baby 👻 @oranmath.bsky.social · 2h

No hell hot enough

Claiming that the “result will chill the reporting of news,” Jones’ team urged the high court to review whether state courts can impose “death penalty” default sanctions on media defendants, asserting that the Sandy Hook families themselves were “public figures” and Jones was merely reporting on issues of public concern.

"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.

Waaaay too many mutuals with a woman who says that trans men “chose” to be men and align ourselves “with predators”.

Don’t follow me if you’re liking those posts in agreement, thank you for your attention to this matter.

Honestly, it needs to go further than this.

We need to confront the fact that democracy and wealth hoarding cannot coexist. Allowing people to amass the resources of a small state/country allows them to act as such, which is inimical to a shared society of “one person, one vote.”

John Rogers @johnrogers.bsky.social · 1d

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Make it your morning affirmation. Say it ten times at the top of every hour.

Last season of Game Changer, we did a cool activation with LinkedIn in which they helped us give Jacob a prize of $100,000.

This season, I have a similar opportunity for the right brand willing to give us $50,000+ worth of their product.

Hit me up ASAP if you're interested!

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · 1d

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

This is how I imagine JK Rowling when she posts.

JK Rowling says "ha ha.. h-heh. I won! I won!" She sits alone in the dark, bathed in the late of her computer screen. We pull back to see her in a large dark empty room. She continues "I won." Seeing the full scope of her cavernous workplace, she appears small and alone. She says, once again, "I won..."
