pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

if i got to explore the vastness beyond our planet i bet i’d discover all kinds of fascinating aliens but nah, it’d probably still feel like too much space

i wish I wasn’t surprised on the verge of tears when a cis politician strongly comes out in defense of trans people

it’s really so easy to do, and once you see that, it becomes clear why so many others… don’t

that’s sadly how it is in the worst offenders I’ve found each year in my trans rep in media reports

just a fundamental subconscious need the people making it have to mine “comedy” by punching at the people with the least power in the same way all of society does all the time

i remember there used to be nights

when i didn’t have nightmares

when i didn’t wake up in the middle of every night terrified of losing everyone i love

losing myself

losing my very identity

i hope and fight for the day i finally see them drift into a hazy bad memory

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

yes sure doing a ton of squats is great for building leg strength for roller derby

but have you considered sometimes you still need to stand up from sitting in a chair and this simple task will now be agonizing?

heed my warning

it’s wild that “just talk to a woman like she’s a human being and see if things click” is just never a place their brain goes

why would you rather try and trick a woman into liking you?!?

my lesbian heart does not understand

this crap still permeates tv and movies allllll over and it makes me so damned mad that the cis people doing it can’t see their own implicit transphobia and the ways those jokes reinforce every lie you’ve ever heard about us 😡

Captain Painway, personal log. Starskate Academy week 9.

the end of the semester looms and my skills are lacking, i suspect I’ll be back next semester to keep training as opposed to being assigned to a ship

but that’s okay! I’m having a blast and have a lot to learn. gotta trust the process

it’s on all of us to make the world better and safer

so that those of us who can’t come out now hopefully can someday, and join us in the sunlight

But nobody gets to tell you how to come out! Nobody gets to tell you when to come out, or if you have to come out at all.
I believe in the depths of my heart that we owe it to ourselves, and to each other, to be out and living as our true selves... but only if it is safe and the right time for us to do so. The sad reality is that, for some people, it will never be safe or the right time due to outside factors in their lives.
We should not be angry at those people. Imagine how difficult that must be, and the suffering they're going through. I know several people stuck in that situation, who can only be themselves online or anonymously. I know the pain they're in.

hi 🤗

me in a low cut light pink top that shows off the girls pretty nicely, and purple and pink plaid skirt, black fishnets, and pink platform shoes with silver heart buckles. I have pink heart shaped glasses, and my long brown hair is up in a pineapple held with a purple satin scrunchie and has two purple bows by my curly bangs

oh! i’m the Tilly mentioned in the link! 🤗

we had an excellent discussion about the (you guessed it) very trans movie We’re All Going to the World’s Fair!

it shares a lot of DNA with Schoenbrun’s I Saw the TV Glow, and is also an examination of the horrors of gender dysphoria

give ‘er a listen!
