Just so we’re clear, if you skeet or reskeet unqualified “men are so awful blah blah” shit onto my skyline, I’m unfollowing you.

Because you obviously give no fucks about me, so you shouldn’t miss me.
Hi! Hello.

So, um, I know y’all keep forgetting we exist, but trans guys are a thing?

So when you say “men are trash”, are you including trans men in that too? Or do you really mean “cis hetero men are trash”, but just conveniently forgot about our existence again?

JUST REUPPING THIS BECAUSE Y'ALL.
i feel like the Hugos and Worldcon should have been delegitimized when the Chengdu results turned out to have been censored and manipulated, and if that wasn't enough, the chatgpt fiasco with Seattle, and I genuinely don't know why people are holding out hope that this can be turned around

"More and more people who have never engaged in anything like these actions before are purposefully running toward the trouble. As much as their resistance can appear organic and spontaneous—and some of it is—it’s supported by deliberate effort, an infrastructure..."
ICE and CBP, among others, have violently retaliated against ICE Watch in part because the agencies correctly understand what many do not: Organized neighbors are mounting an effective defense, and an organized movement is a formidable adversary. My new feature: newrepublic.com/article/2042...
Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance
Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

When Customs and Border Protection and Commander Gregory Bovino move into town, so does Whistlemania.

These activists create and distribute thousands of 3D-printed whistles, and their piercing cries are used to signal that immigration agents are nearby. And it's working.

I’m hoping for it happening on live TV during a press conference, personally

Answering semi-hostile questions can be stressful, blood pressure goes up … I can see it
When it happens which outlet do you think will call it first?

I will be donating because Sheryl does so much work for people PRO-BONO and needs to be able to hire someone to assist. She also fundraises to support others but not herself. If you can support, please do.
Hello Thriends! I hate asking for things On Here, but here goes.

With the ICE raids and spike in immigration based evictions in Illinois, the simple truth is that I can't keep up with the demand for my services. There are way more people who need a name-your-own-price lawyer than there are Sheryls.

Three D's defected to vote for this disgusting bill. If they hadn't, it wouldn't have moved forward.

*Don't come into my mentions to "explain" to me that "this will fail in the Senate." Spend that time calling your reps, donating to causes, and doing literally anything for trans folks.
The House passed legislation today that would charge doctors with a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison for providing transition-related care to minors.

Rep. Sarah McBride strongly condemned the legislation in rare personal remarks ahead of the vote.

There’s a direct line from ‘just asking questions about women’s sports’ to criminalizing our health care, we warned you it was coming, you said it would be fine and you just had a few more questions.

it is terrifying and awful that this passed the House with any Dem support at all (and once again, the continued leadership support for Cuellar is unconscionable)

call your senators and make absolutely sure this dies in the Senate, lives are on the line

trans people deserve so much better
Henry Cuellar, Don Davis, and Vicente Gonzalez joined Republicans in voting to criminalize trans health care.

The bill passed only 216 to 214.

4 Republicans voted no. If they did too, it would have failed.

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

So it's silly and weird, but I'm not going to have much of a Christmas this year. Money is running out, I'm struggling in ways I'm not fully sharing. Groceries are tight. I'm staying in.

If anyone would like to buy me a little joyful something, I have a list? -_-

I've been using Waterfox all year since Firefox shoved a stupid AI chat shortcut into my taskbar.

It's literally Firefox without the annoying stuff. Like, it's the same browser except it doesn't collect metrics on you and have AI. Install it!
A lot of people are about to find out about Waterfox
It just keeps getting worse - Firefox to "evolve into a modern AI browser "
