Hell yeah #newyork for standing up against #ICE and its agents who won’t even show their faces. This is what true #solidarity looks like. Stand up against the racist, fascist, police state that #trump is trying to create. ✊🏻

So… let me get this straight, the ceasefire only exists for Hamas but the IDF can bomb whenever and wherever they want in the name of killing “terrorists” and withhold aid that is beyond desperately needed to literal innocent citizens…

Happy #pride from me, a #trans #intersex #queer #potter! Here’s some of the #ceramic #LGBTQIA+ #coasters I made with more on the way. I sold all of the ones reading “boobs”, “butts”, and “cunt” but never fear, I made more for next week.

It’s been 2 weeks back to work after #topsurgery! It was weird to not be there for a month but my coworkers are the best. My scars are looking great and barely visible.
I painted some of my #pottery and made a 7” by 7” miniature greenhouse. #trans #transman #miniatures

As we’re in black history month, it’s important to remember that intersecting identities have and will always exist. It’s more than just celebrating and uplifting cis/het black people, it’s about ALL the diverse identities of black people. Here’s a story of a black trans man named Jim Mc Harris:

I had a party for my up coming top surgery (8 days!) and we played “pin the nips on the chest) so obviously I should bring this to my surgeon so he knows where to graft my nipples. 😆🤣 #trans #topsurgery #transman #transmasculine

Send me a convo and I’ll send you my Venmo and/or PayPal 😘
Give your money to trans people directly. Flood their Venmos. Top out their fundraising campaigns. If you know someone connected to mutual aid, give them your money and tell them to use it as they see fit. Cover rent and materials for a group that needs you. Put your money where your mouth is.
donating to national 501c3s is cool but what if you donated to your local trans support spaces that don’t have the reach to get millions to spend on advertising to get millions more

This article is from YESTERDAY. We need to fight and protect our trans youth (which are defined as persons 19 and younger). This is not time to cower in a corner. Contact your reps, have a protest, talk to people, find reputable news sources, and think critically.

A must-read. For anyone who thinks Congress or even SCOTUS can keep Trump reined in, remember this lesson. As Joseph Goebbels observed, “The big joke on democracy is that it gives its mortal enemies the means to its own destruction.” #ARepublicIfWeCanKeepIt

Israel continued air strikes on what they said are Hamas and Islamic Jihad sites in Gaza before the ceasefire began at 1:30am this morning. Hamas officials reported that more than 120 people have been killed since the deal was announced on Wednesday.

The Israeli government announced the ceasefire with Hamas would take effect at 11:15 local time, nearly three hours after the originally scheduled time for hostilities to cease.
