Sometimes it is insurmountably hard to remind myself that instead of being on social media right now, I can not be on social media right now.
I can't just be here to spend my day being angry and sad and mournful.
Love you all, and hope you're all staying safe and warm.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Get involved locally, seek out and build bonds with the people around you, learn their names, check in with them, lend a hand when needed. I can't stress enough how much they dread the trust and strength that can be found in community.

Thinking about how last year the president of South Korea tried to deploy the military against civilians, and his national assembly immediately voted unanimously to repeal the move and impeach him, and today he's sitting on trial for insurrection facing either life in prison or death

The “you aren’t alone” is the most important part.
Hey. You. In pain, and wondering if you’re trans enough to even be wondering?
YOU’RE NOT ALONE.
and to be VERY clear, my DMs are always open if you want to talk about gender.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.
1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.
2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.

Having a single student pull me aside after class to thank me for the class always makes it a struggle to not collapse into a sobbing emotional mess.

In past comments I had once referred to Simon Rosenberg as "dude."
This was a thoughtless and insensitive comment, and I make no excuses for it. I want to apologize to everyone inc. Simon. I have since learned better and will strive to improve.
Simon is not a dude. He's a fuckwit.
Thank you ✌️❤️

To be blunt, we’re your canary. And we’re sick and tired of it. We warn you and you ignore us. Politicians use us to score “good Christian” points. Then y’all act surprised when your rights get stripped away. If you even hint at being anti-trans, you’re an asshole & trash.
It exposes directional alignment; you still seek to limit, not expand, who is allowed to be human. Yes, you have set your limitation more inclusively than our fascist gang of white supremacists; it doesn't mean you're not also setting limitations & they'll use your limit as long as it serves them.
I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

This is mostly a declaration to myself that I need to stop doomscrolling for a bit because shit is intense and my depression and anxiety are stopping me from actually getting work done.
