Thanks for your kindness while I’ve disappeared a bit for health reasons. We have more content on the way that’s been stuck on the editing floor due to my as-of-yet undiagnosed nervous system and/or autoimmune disease. I’m on disability leave and re-learning how my body works but I’m hopeful. 💜Robin
Spoken like a real housewife on her way to sentencing.
Writing an 80 zillion character post about the Epstein files definitely makes you seem extremely innocent and not literally shitting your pants.

I wish so too, but tbh “regular trans person” is the goal for most of us. Normal and boring is a privilege. Most of us don’t get to say “I’m Todd, I’m an accountant, and I like IPAs” or “I’m Sarah, I’m a teacher, and I like horses.” Normal living trans people are icons and I’m happy to see this 💜
My 81-year-old aunt Gail sent me this segment. I wish a trans kid (now young woman) could say more than “I’m proud to be trans and I’m not just trans, I’m also a regular person” but I’m genuinely grateful when someone like Kelly Clarkson highlights trans people with such care.

Every time I'm in public with my wife I'm reminded that homophobia still very much exists. I've gotten far more dirty looks and comments for being a gay woman than a trans woman. So has my straight cisgender wife.

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.
News: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has introduced an amendment to the reconciliation bill to bring back the Medicaid ban on gender-affirming care
The Senate removed it this morning and the parliamentarian disqualified the provision from reconciliation

Hey @kaine.senate.gov & @markwarner.bsky.social, I know you have a history of voting to take away trans healthcare, but please know this would literally kill thousands of people. If that doesn’t bother you, dead people can’t vote for you, and the living will vote against you in the primary.
hi, cis folks!
the senate budget bill is out & this version still contains a prohibition against lifesaving trans healthcare for medicaid/CHIP—that's 275,000 people!
if you're willing to stand with trans folks, please call your senators—no matter who. follow the thread for context & scripts.🧵

We were so busy hoping for an ultra-powerful global leader that was on our side we never stopped to ask if we should even have ultra-powerful leaders.

Man films and confronts two suspected undercover ICE officers (potentially NYPD) after they racially profiled and handcuffed a random civilian. Keep doing this shit. Make these fuckers famous. Make all police and immigration officers fear having their faces known to the masses.
