I don't really get impostor syndrome but I honestly felt a bit out of place in my own dream. What's that even about. Sometimes Brain gives me really straightforward messages in dreamtime but this one was just absurd. But at least it was nice-absurd? Someone gave me a little quick back rub even! 🤣

For some reason a masc comedy/fashion content creator was leading the yoga class and she kept coming by to adjust my poses and would drop a little kiss on my shoulder each time. It was so wholesome and PG-rated. Like we were all buds or something.
What was I even doing there, I don't make videos??

And this is why AI writing is never going to replace human writing.

It is! More like a breaking, I accidentally lopped it off my larger plant when moving it maybe a year and a half ago. It did fine in some water for a bit and rooted well enough to plant. So far it seems happier than the parent actually! But I have no special tricks to share!

Unlearn any transphobia you're carrying, and help others unlearn it too. If you're cis, every piece of this struggle that you take on is one less piece that a trans person has to carry. The small stuff really, really counts. Right now probably more than ever.
#TransDayOfRemembrance

And so I invite you to use whatever influence you have, in whatever circles you travel in, to help make this better. Advocate for trans-friendly policy in your workplace. Ask for gender-neutral bathrooms at your favourite café. Be that annoying person who won't give transphobia a pass online. ...

to me it seems like there is more murderous intent out there against trans folks than we could ever measure by a specific body count for a specific kind of violence in a specific year. So. My grief is both deep and broad this year on Trans Day of Remembrance, and so is my rage.

When a doctor won't treat you for a life-threatening condition because they can't look past your transness, when a government invokes the notwithstanding clause (!!) to insist on treating trans people as less than human, when everything from sports teams to restaurants shut out trans people...

The trans friends I've lost in the last couple of years have all died too young, mostly from medical issues that were caused or exacerbated by trauma and marginalization. Meanwhile, many of my still-alive trans friends are fleeing fascism or facing down transphobic doctors for basic medical care.

Meanwhile, I am also increasingly unconvinced that there's a meaningful difference between trans people murdered at the hands of violent individuals and trans people whose deaths are more or less voluntarily brought about by violent policy, violent medical systems, violent social contexts.

they were murdered for being trans or if being trans was just one more aspect of their much larger marginalization, and if we're going to mourn them, we should be doing so in the context of mourning sex workers, migrants, Indigenous women and women of colour, who are murdered in appalling numbers.

Yes! The baby flower and also the teensy little nub of a potential second one! Eeeeee

Yeah, but you don't need to have been "officially" close for someone's death to have an impact. 💚

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm always a bit hesitant to post when I hear about a death and there's no obit to link to, but I trust the folks who are talking about it, so. :(
