Hello blue skies! 😀
I was "emilyvivant" at that ex-twitter place. I wanted to shorten my handle here, but "emily-v" was already taken. So I went with "emily-kv", where the k stands for Katherine (which should have been my middle name).
This graphic should tell you all about me 😄

The FBI put a thousand agents (their own words) on trying to hide all the links between Trump and Epstein. They failed. When people found some additional photos of Trump in the release, the DOJ promptly DELETED THEM FROM THE DOCUMENT RELEASE.

Available to download Friday, some Epstein files no longer there Saturday afternoon
An NPR analysis of the Epstein files shows some documents, originally available on Friday, are no longer on the Department of Justice's "Epstein Library" website as the DOJ releases more files.

Hey @artofcoop.bsky.social! I bought an old and heavily stickered guitar off Goodwill's website. The front of the guitar featured one of your Space Girls 😀
It doesn't look *exactly* like the one here, but it's basically the same:

But let's flip the script for a moment: in 1991, I did not own *any* guitars 😮
(I didn't learn how to play guitar until 1992.)

The last time I was in a band, I always played the main riff of this song during my soundcheck 😊
(I was playing a 12-string bass through an Ampeg SVT-Pro head, so it sounded YUGE)

“Tonight I’m Gonna Rock You Tonight” is a bop (the thing about Spinal Tap is these songs are TUNES)

“I love you – not just your body but everything that is you. I love you deep down, past flesh, where your soul burns like a flame.”
John Ostrander wrote a transgender character in 1987. And while parts of the story are sensationalized for Grimjack’s adventure, underneath is care and understanding.

The only good thing about America not have great public transport is we have so many gas stations to hang fascist by their ankles from.
Exclusive: A father and his three kids work for ICE. Why they do it.
A father, daughter and twin sons are all ICE agents. They see themselves as crime fighters. Others see them as something far worse.

The Bay Area punk history tour with Jello seals the deal! 😀
That said, it's a manual transmission, which can be fun but would mean a very aggravating experience in city traffic 😬

This exactly describes my experience 🙃
As a child/tween/teenager, I was extremely bad at being a boy, but didn't figure out why until I was 44.
In high school, i did figure out how to stop getting beat up. I gender-policed my behavior and tried to emulate my peers.
I became a people-pleaser 😞

My spicy socialization take is that we mostly use the phrase "female socialization" to refer to raising someone to be a people-pleaser so they don't get hit, and as people constantly at risk of getting hit, trans femmes receive it as much as anyone else
“Male Socialization” of trans femmes isn’t a real thing. Invoking it just shows you’re a bozo trying to misgender us.
Trans people were never really socialized as our AGAB. At best, we were pressured to mimic norms that gave us dysphoria.
It’s an obvious TERF / Blanchardist dog whistle. Do better.

Something I have to reiterate is that you are being straight up lied to about trans people and our healthcare on an unfathomable scale, this instance reporting is already being torn to shreds by other people commenting, but the frequency of this kind of reporting is astonishing, it's neverending.
You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

11 Dec 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- Arlington TX becomes first US city to repeal its LGBTQ+ non-discrimination law, after Trump admin threatened to withhold $65m in fed funding. Vote was 5-4. Iowa was first state to do so in Feb 2025.
Texas city votes to overturn LGBTQ+ antidiscrimination protections
Arlington, Texas has removed “gender identity and expression” and “sexual orientation” from its antidiscrimination protections.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
