imagine this. you’re in the m league finals and it’s south 4. you’re 1 away from tenpai for a haneman and you go to discard the white dragon. as you start to place the tile you realise it’s been replaced by a christian baby.
do you still call riichi knowing it will rotate the christian baby 90 °?

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life.
And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

the thing people don't get is that if the democratic candidate is also transphobic, then both options are voting for my own death, which i simply will not do.
people will call me a one-issue voter, but if the issue is literally MY OWN RIGHTS, then yes, i am a one-issue voter.

hi, cis folks!
the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11. it'd strip care from DACA recipients, too.
context & guidance in the thread. do it while you’re still fired up from/about protests.
only 4.5 days left!

hi, cis folks!
if we *are* going to talk ACA, RFK's HHS proposed a rule to remove *all trans care* from ACA essential health benefit status.
~25mil people are insured by ACA & if 1% are trans, that's 250,000 people who'd lose access to care.
that's bad! take 2 minutes to stand with trans people.🧵

You'd think after all these events The Feeling wouldn't hit quite so hard but it's just as bad as the first time
Frost '25 was one of the best events I've worked on and despite being extremely exhausting, it was also the least stressful compared to other recent events I've been involved with.

alright you wanna know how to support trans people?
hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit.
Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

I'm incredibly grateful for all the people I got to work with at Frost Fatales 2024 and I can't believe what a success the event was both in terms of content, runs, and money raised for charity. But for me personally it was a very taxing event, perhaps the most difficult I've worked ever.

Israel continues its genocide by bombing the very place it told people to flee to. It's trying to hide by executing this campaign during the super bowl because it knows it's an atrocity. #FreePalestine #CeasefireNOW

There is absolutely no ethical excuse for genocide. The continued killing of Palestinian people is such a vicious act of untenable cruelty. They have nowhere to go.
I wish the world leaders supporting this would realize how disconnected and broken their compassion and understanding of humanity is.
