"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Everybody should read this. Gives you a really good idea of the types of questions trans people have to ask ourselves almost every day just to do normal things that others don’t even need to think about.
An essay about death threats, censorship, loss, and the silence of cis people. All of these events happened in one week. I'm exhausted.

Heartbroken and outraged by the arson that destroyed CAIRO Academy’s new playground—a space of joy for Portland’s African immigrant kids.
This was an attack on hope. CAIRO still rises. Let’s help them rebuild.

I am lucky to be way too old to have encountered the manosphere when I was at a vulnerable age. I was a teen with some pretty edgelord views at a time when it wasn't possible to find a community of people who (for example) believed the human species should be exterminated.
i wanna try something. quote this post if you’re a man who hates the manosphere

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

When there’s a natural disaster, NOAA is on the frontlines. Trump and Musk’s plan to shut down NOAA would be a disaster for the millions of Oregonians and Americans who rely on NOAA’s accurate weather forecasting and emergency response services.

Keep speaking out and telling your stories! Donald Trump created chaos when he tried to stop funding that Congress already approved, which is against the law and unconstitutional. People are frightened and furious, and that message came through loud and clear. 🧵
