I know posting "the girls are fighting" seems funny, but it's actually insensitive and shitty.
My father died in a girl fight. He tried to break it up and the girls pulled him apart like freshly baked bread. He didn't even scream. One moment he was there, the next just a spray of dad viscera.

I still can't fathom that people walk around with no pain. For any amount of time. Pure fantasy. An editor would call it out as unrealistic.

every person involved in this needs to be in prison
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

As a kid, I used to tell people I wanted to be an etymologist. Everyone thought I liked bugs 😅
Nah, different kind of nerd.

Fascism is a cult of hegemonic masculinity asserting its hierarchical dominance. For white men, by white men. Literally everyone else is on the chopping block.

I love being queer, I love queer love, I love queer sex, I love queer intimacy, holding hands, cheek kisses, longing, yearning, all of it. Queer love is beautiful, gentle, sacred. It is more than the homophobes are capable of understanding because it is pure. It is an honesty they can’t see

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members.
The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said;
“trans women are women and trans men are men”
with no-one speaking against it.
Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

The amount of weaponized unreality has increased dramatically.
It can have an effect on people at an individual level in terms of cognitive functioning and emotional state.
If you’re having greater than usual difficulty thinking clearly and mood variability, that might be part of why.

I can't get over the generosity Chappel Roam promotes. The speech was incredible, but the Pink Pony Club performance!!! Highlighting the dancers, musicians, and ✨theater✨ that exists when we prioritize artistic generosity and protection of most vulnerable.

It’s OK to admit that we’re off the map of our experience. The rules & best practices some of us are accustomed to, in certain situations, may no longer apply. There are some questions I lovingly refuse to answer at this time bc I don’t know. We need more humility. Some of our expertise is outdated.

I had to put my dog down this weekend, unexpectedly. It's my first major loss of a loved one, so it's hitting me hard. I had food poisoning, and of course the general horrors of the world bore down on me too. I'm doing better than yesterday but crying a lot today. Thank goodness for therapy later.
