Why do you
measure me
by the wound
instead of
the offering?
I only loved
you in the
language
I knew;
hands open,
voice trembling,
heart unguarded.
Was it so wrong,
to want you
without armor?

Oh, I hope so.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

"who radicalized you"

Nothing radicalized me, I was born with basic empathy. The world decided that was radical.

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flight—your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government.

We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide:

Soon academics are going to start being vintage enthusiasts, like the people who only listen to pre '94 hip hop.

"I found a paper that says—"
"Wait, is it pre-slop era?"
"Yeah yeah, 2016 man."
"Okay okay, sorry; what did it say?"

If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in war zones—you have to become a revolutionary.

Way too many people want the police to do things that have never been a part of their purpose. The police are not, and have never been, here to protect you.

"Their effects are not permanent, and once a child lets their blocking treatment lapse, puberty will just continue as normal."

The effects are only permanent on trans youth apparently.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
