So, for any cis people who have money, would like to say that if you feel lost about what to do regarding these trans EOs. Please direct yourself to my venmo (@ Zadja) or my cashapp ($ShomariK). Money is a great help in these trying times. 💗

My money is on malaria
I'm honestly starting to think Americans are going to end the decade with either universal health care or malaria.

Every day in America is a day I get to see the lesson that racists (as a mass) care more about advancing white supremacy than making money.

Border Patrol Agents Pose At The Bean For Apparent Photo Op
The photo op came after agents tear-gassed a Little Village street and were spotted in the area numerous times. At the Bean, one agent shouted, "Everyone say, 'Little Village!'"

Slowly recovering from burnout which makes me happy. My recovery being slow, however, causes me endless frustrations. I can't rush it, but the factors impacting the speed with which recovery occurs feel so opaque to me.

Also been just thinking about the epistemic record of lesbian thought and trans thought. The struggles that emerge within our communities where we must negotiate our relationship to an identity with those around us, making peace with those whose approach may be opposite to your own.

Little thought born from a convo today: I feel like it's always so telling when cishet folks are behind a show or something where their lead characters have so much chemistry & intimacy, but they refuse to let them be gay.

“but why should for-profit healthcare execs be prosecuted for murder?”
i’m glad you asked! it’s because every healthcare exec socially murders innocent people to increase their rate of profit!

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.
What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%.

No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

If the Repubs bring back chattel slavery, I think I want to find out about it through that one Supernatural meme on tumblr. I dunno, it'd be kind of funny and apropos for the site.

Not the best pic but I figured I'd share something fun. I tried a new colour for my nails this time but, more importantly, a fun lil pattern! Is it perfect? Not really, but the nail tech did her best! Y'all might notice a similarity to my PFP and that's 'cause it's a symbol tied to my novel :D
