My spouse and I have a numerical code we use to communicate specific information to each other. It's just four digits, so we can use it in front of guests, our kids, wherever. We can even send through intermediaries. "Son, tell Mom I said 6594." "Oh la la!" 1/

I'm telling y'all. This is how we win. You don't have to firebomb a Walmart (and in fact I would strongly recommend against it) to really jam up the gears of fascism.
When you refuse to "verify your gender" in a restaurant bathroom or "show us some ID" in public, you shield the rest of us.

The war against trans people (and I don’t mean “culture war” I mean actual violent war) is fundamentally an act of slow, indirect mass murder meant to terrorize an entire population into obedience to the single dumbest ideology we have: gender. IMAGINE how stupid and evil you have to be to do this!

Excellent thread that everyone who thinks gender and sex are as simple as you learned in school should read before they ever offer up an opinion of any kind on trans or intersex people
In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.

RIP Johnson Amendment. The IRS states that churches can openly endorse candidates without losing their nonprofit tax exempt status. Apparently, it is considering a family conversation and not political manipulation of campaign finance laws.

today's democrats aren't who will liberate us in the end, but the folks nearest institutional power are the ones who can, while things are bad, most easily help hold up the falling sky & buy time.
this shit can be both "not enough" & "really matter."
