🚨Nerd Alert🚨 There's actually some really cool European history behind chocolate as an early morning food. It involves people gaming religious restrictions on eating prior to morning prayers. It's very nifty (to big ol' nerds such as myself).

JD Vance threatened Canada, Ambassador Hoekstra regularly threatens Canada, we've seen reps threaten Canada. Turns out they all represent the US government and it doesn't matter one whit to the rest of us who voted for or appointed these maggots.

Through our very existence we demonstrate that not only do things not need to be this way, but that if you bring abolition into your own life it can be better, sexier, freer. Of course they want to destroy us. Im not apologizing or pretending what I want isn't the transing of everything

They have to come for children because children are usually less willing to accept "thats just the way it is" as an explanation for why they cant do things. Adults all carry the trauma of having that "WHY?" beaten out of them, and so are often willing participants in passing that violence along

Attacking trans children is about attacking all children in the same way attacking trans autonomy is about attacking all bodily autonomy. Our actions are particularly powerful, autonomous and brave, and that means even well meaning ppl find us ideologically disturbing

Omg, I survived postpartum with my first kid because of Izzard's comedy. I love her so much.
