Xray: my spine
♏️♓️♊️♿️🏳️‍🌈🏴‍☠️
Pinned
For the record:
My spine.
It was broken for two years prior to the surgery that placed those screws, but not one doctor bothered to look for it. I was labeled faker, drugseeker, junkie, addict. One X-ray was all it took; none of Boston’s finest medical facilities did it. My rage matches his.

I am unsurprised that @buzzgrambo.bsky.social is a Navy veteran. Annoying the shit out of people is a long standing enlisted Navy tradition and we get real good at it. Fair winds, Chief, and I hope you manage to get a nap in.
I love him. “The first time I caught up to [ICE], I could tell that they already knew who I was. They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

It's been exactly a week, right about now.

@delchi.bsky.social you have no idea how many people miss you.
You never believed me anyway.

Six of the Allston Car Wash 9 have now been granted bond to walk free, but of course the regime delayed releasing them, because unlike their predecessors, today's Nazis are not good at paperwork

END VIOLENCE AGAINST TRANS MEN?
END VIOLENCE AGAINST TRANS WOMEN?
HOW ABOUT:
END VIOLENCE AGAINST TRANS PEOPLE
Rita Hester was a beautiful soul and a fixture of the Boston queer community who lived large and unapologetically. Her unsolved murder sparked Transgender Day of Remembrance, but her story is often forgotten.

Today, we celebrate her life and continue the work to end violence against trans women.

So I realize this is a set up to a pun but also I can never resist an opportunity to talk about sheep. Yes, about 10% of rams are gay. They will not breed ewes, they prefer the company of other rams. There are not, AFAIK, equally well-studied lesbian ewes.

Can you even imagine all the Emmett Tills these women would've manufactured between them 60 or so years ago
It’s truly wild to me how much some people need to be the victim.

So now that I've heard TCW labeled "Wa-Luigi Coates" I'll never think of him any other way.
Would hate to have to work with Wa-Luigi Coates on a group project
Imagine looking around America in 2025 and thinking, "What we need less of is morality."

hauled my ass to PT (well, shoulder this time) and feel like I tried to run a 5K.
wtf, meatsuit?

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.
Remember: don't eat the mid tier fast food chicken, don't play the wizard game, don't shop at the hobby store run by the bad guys from Indiana Jones, and don't donate to the bigot bucket.
I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

Yeah unfortunately the uniform is the exact same for LGBT-friendly union guy who hates cops and will beat your ass and racist shit head union guy who loves cops and hates unions and will beat your ass.
as a queer person in and around boston it can be extremely confusing to know who your allies actually are and look like, and many will surprise you either way

I didn't learn about the Black Panther Party in Boston until a few years ago, although I didn't go to school in Boston. I learned about the BPP in general from watching "Eyes on the Prize" back in the 1990s. schoolyardnews.com/what-were-yo...

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked!

Anyone pushing back against this description hasn’t spent much time around aging Boston punks, because while they often stay on the left, it is such an easy slide into reactionary shit head.
I love the Dropkick Murphys because "Irish-American" + "gen X" + "punk rocker who's been at it for 30 years" should be the formula for the most racist guy alive but instead Ken Casey is constantly giving interviews where he's like "fascists are demons from hell and that's where they belong"
