Hey autocorrect, can we please stop changing "intersectional" to "insurectionist"? This is almost as bad as the time you thought "femininity" was spelled "feminenity" 💀

Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, I am leading a resolution to lift up this day and honor all the trans people who have lost their lives to anti-trans violence.
Trans lives matter and I will never stop fighting for all trans to be able to live as their authentic selves.

every dead trans woman is a murder
if you're not one: find one to support, ideally with money

Yesterday, the Associated Press published a story about anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers that illustrates perfectly how traditional notions of journalistic objectivity and “both sides” coverage fail to meet the current moment—and even facilitate the spread of disinformation.
The Associated Press Does Free PR for Crisis Pregnancy Centers
A recent story is a glaring example of how traditional journalistic “objectivity" is far from unbiased, and can even facilitate the spread of disinformation.

I have this cookbook and it’s really good! It teaches you how to stock a pantry, stretch ingredients and re-use leftovers on a $4/day budget. The recipes are delicious, the curried coconut squash soup is still a go to for my ‘making enough soup to drown god’ days.

The thing with Platner, for me is: maybe he did change, maybe he matured and grew up and shed his bullshit past.
And even if he did, he should know that having A NAZI TATTOO--among other problems--is disqualifying and should have never run for office. Instead fuckin help other people run. Not you.

Sometimes I think nonblack people don’t get that Black people do not want to see a confederate flag anywhere anytime, not to make a point, not as parody, not to point out what those rednecks are doing for info. It produces a visceral response.

There's a certain level of brain rot among the trans folks still on Twitter. No matter how much you say you're immune to it, the nonstop transphobia permeating every level of that site will have you turn reactionary as a coping mechanism. Many such cases.
