Like Aura but with a rawrr because I never grew out of my emo phase 🖤 Living on stolen land, sovereignty was never ceded.
I'm interested in music, kitchen witchcraft, books (especially fantasy but fairly omnivorous), and human rights.

Nicole Bluesky is a cruel cruel woman who loves to make lesbians cry 😭
Jennifer could do nothing but stare at Mercedes’s retreating tail lights as the car turned out of the driveway and drove away, leaving her to stand alone in the night air, numb aside from a keenly felt hole where a piece of her heart she hadn’t known existed had been suddenly and cruelly torn free.

The one thing I do appreciate about the US is that no other culture I have ever encountered would produce a folksong where the devil challenges a kid to a duel in an obvious morality play about hubris and then the kid just absolutely kicks his ass and wins the fiddle
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Transphobes don't have a victory condition. Those who seek to eliminate us can inflict all sorts of cruelty and hardship on us, but in the end it's all fruitless, a project doomed the moment it began.
Long-term, we win, because as long as humanity exists so do we.

This is something I'm really clinging to right now. Even if they were to somehow succeed in eliminating or forcing into the closet every trans person alive today, there will be future generations. We've always existed and always will. No matter what they do to us we will continue.

It's so wild to think that I once held a pretty high opinion of the NYT (same goes for BBC and ABC - still feeling the betrayal of losing my trust in that one though)
I’m still amazed that anyone seriously thinks ‘conservative feminism’ exists. 😳

The workplace was perfect—until women showed up?
Last week, the New York Times, decided to ask the question: "Did Women Ruin the Workplace?". No, this isn’t satire.

Ok so growing up I had a biiiit of a "she's so cool and pretty I want to be just like her" crush on Hilary Duff which I very deeply buried because NOBODY COULD EVER KNOW so finding out she's just released a new song and gone really claws out (admiringly) on it is SUCH a trip let me tell you

Ok what the actual fuck??? No way they fucking did that
Soeharto being granted the title of National hero in Indonesia is a betrayal of all those killed by his regime. His actions & that of the forces under his control caused death & suffering all across Indonesia & beyond.

I will never understand how, in the year 2025, someone can see that there's going to be a remake/reboot/spinoff of a beloved piece of media and feel excitement rather than dread

Our community has lost another sister. Her own college hosted a discussion around "The Trans Question" last winter, which only redoubled Lia's efforts to fight for her friends and community. You will be missed more than you could ever know, Lia.

Really interesting case, hoping for a good outcome here. Kinda fucked that we can only challenge it on procedural grounds and that if they hadn't blatantly flouted those we could be stuck, rather than the clear discrimination, cruelty and harm being enough to overturn it on its own
“Queensland’s controversial ban on puberty blockers and other hormone therapies is unlawful because of a failure to properly consult health executives on a decision affected by political interference, a court has heard.”
Politicians must stop interfering with trans people’s medical decisions.

My heart grieves for Leia Dorothy Pandora Sampson-Grimbly.
"Leia was 17 years old at the time she died a beautiful person inside and out, complex, kind, fair, intelligent, determined, dedicated and talented with a great future ahead of her and greatly loved by all who knew her".
Remember her.
