Like Aura but with a rawrr because I never grew out of my emo phase 🖤 Living on stolen land, sovereignty was never ceded.
I'm interested in music, kitchen witchcraft, books (especially fantasy but fairly omnivorous), and human rights.

"what's new with you?"

"nothing i'd tell you about."

"i hear the united states has armed paramilitary in the streets attacking their own people, and even kidnapped the president of venezuela."

"the united states seems to be getting more dangerous by the day."

"take care."

New research maps the campaign to erase trans people from UK data 🔢

This peer-reviewed article offers the first detailed account of how UK campaign groups have sought to define sex as strictly biological across the census, policing, healthcare and digital ID.

I've been obsessed with When You Fell From Heaven (Alyson Greaves) for the last few days and now that I've finished book 2 (All The Way) I'm so mad about not having more of it to read, I don't think I could ever get enough of this.

Much ink has been spilled to the effect of "trans girl spinny skirt cringe" but I don't think people realize how demandingly rigid the rituals of forced masculinity are. I was screamed at for wearing the "wrong colored" shoes. Let trans women be girls, most were not allowed to be.
One of the great things about being a trans woman is giving yourself permission to finally like cute things that weren't "socially acceptable" to enjoy before.

[Not that this is the way things SHOULD be. Just finding small joy where I can.]

People need to stop misusing, misappropriating or distorting the principle of cultural safety.

SA Premier obviously has no idea what this model of care is, and has been weaponising it. Re AWW: reporters need to stop being stenographers. Ask him flat out what he thinks that term means - I dare you.

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread:

First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.

It’s just extraordinary that the Australian government is still approving new fossil fuel projects. We are deep into a terrifying climate crisis and they need to start acting like it.

I was first unsettled, then increasingly furious at the New York Times' coverage of the death of Lia Smith. Here's a thread sharing some trily despicable choices made by @julietmacur.bsky.social in writing about this young woman's suicide.

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

Got a slightly better picture of one of the skinks that's been wandering around the fernery outside my window the last few days. Still kind of hard to see but it's the squiggly brown thing on top of the rock in the centre of the photo, just a little camouflaged against the dead fronds.

Renee Nicole Good 💔

The cruelty of this US regime knows no bounds. My heart is broken for Renee, for the unimaginable pain of her family, and for every victim of these horrors, both domestic and overseas.
NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do."

“We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs.
