we are not cannon fodder for "revolutionary fantasies" any more than sylvia rivera was cannon fodder for queer liberation. we are its beating heart. every trans person is proof that humanity can know itself better, can express its joy, can live authentically and with intent. we ARE a revolution.

Das BAföG ist kein Stipendium - sondern ein Rechtsanspruch auf eine staatliche finanzielle Absicherung für Studierende, die es benötigen.
Das ist kein Nice-to-have, sondern Must-have!
Wer BAföG als Stipendiensystem umetikettieren will, hat keines seiner Probleme verstanden.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

Looks like the news is out. May her memory be a blessing. Miss Major, Presente!

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

Welcome to the life of every teacher.

Well done Shafaq Aftab. When a reviewer stole her work and published it under his own name, she fought for a YEAR to get the journal to retract the paper. Just wondering why it took Wiley a YEAR to do this. 🧪 #academicsky
