i'm nonbinary. here are some tips

• if you want to compliment a nonbinary person on their appearance, ask what gendered compliments they're okay with. do not assume
• deal with they/them, it/its, and neopronouns. no excuses
• explicitly include us in your planning for queer events
• give us cash
it's 🏳️‍⚧️ transgender awareness week 🏳️‍⚧️, so : donate to trans support organizations if you can, hire trans people, defend them in public & private spaces when necessary, & just don't be an asshole in general

Reminder that just this year Alds. Ray Lopez and Silvana Tabares introduced an ordinance to rollback protections to once again allow CPD to work with ICE if they claimed it was related to any gang, drug, or prostitution activity. Nine other alders supported it.

This also tracks with my experience of street harassment and physical abuse.

An adult man -- a complete stranger -- photographed me playing on the swing set in the playground after school when I was younger than 10.

When I tried to run away, he started following me until I screamed for a teacher.
I was talking with a friend my age not long ago about how she received the largest amount of male interest from older men when she was ~8 years old to around 19 or so.

At least a couple of them--from church, mind you--said she was "worth the risk with law enforcement". She wasn't safe at church.
I want people to understand that in my youth, a youth that happened somewhere between the youth of Epstein, Trump, Maxwell, ex-Prince Andrew, et al & that of their victims, the term "jail bait" was framed as a compliment.

🚨BREAKING: Oversight Dems have received new emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate that raise serious questions about Donald Trump and his knowledge of Epstein’s horrific crimes.

Read them for yourself. It’s time to end this cover-up and RELEASE THE FILES.

Furries, we need to talk about something very important. With Midwest FurFest just a month away, we need to address the elephant in the room

For the past few months, ICE, Border Patrol, & other federal agents have been storming throughout the Chicago area, where MFF is located (1/5)
new: federal agents have targeted rideshare drivers at o'hare on at least ten separate days since october 10.

in some cases, agents returned to abduct drivers multiple times in a single day, taking as many as ten to 20 people each time.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

I see people being snarky on here sometimes about "suburban wine moms" and acting like they're being magnanimous by "allowing" them to protest alongside of us, and those people can fuck off
Broadview ICE this morning. A circle of women went into the middle of the street to exercise their free speech rights and were all arrested & zip tied by cops. @resist_and_repeat on instagram many folks here today.

If your "women and nonbinary people" group doesn't include any trans women or AMAB enbies, you just told all the nonbinary people you did include how you actually see them.

(And all the trans women you didn't include, too, but you obviously don't give a fuck about them to begin with.)

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

I would say if your feminism isn’t connected & working alongside left-wing political struggles, like anti-capitalism, anti-imperialism/colonialism, Black liberation, Indigenous liberation, etc, if it isn’t internationalist, then it ain’t shit.

I think you apologize for hurting someone three times. The first is right when you realize you hurt them. The second is after both of you have the perspective granted by passed time. The third is when you've meaningfully changed about it. Sometimes you don't get a chance—you still must prepare them.
