Orwell that Ends Well
@dawnoftheliving.bsky.social
Just a co-op girl living in a pvp world.
I’m posting a date and location for my exact whereabouts in case anyone in Pittsburgh wants to kidnap me or likes standup comedy.

This is why I'm cynical about all these injunctions. The GOP are, as they were always going to do, going full "now let him enforce it"
We've confirmed the US Bureau of Prisons has transferred trans women to men's prisons despite three court rulings blocking Trump's executive order

It took a month before I heard “So you’re trans? Can I ask you a personal question?” Poor guy, I blurt laughed in his face. I have done like seven or eight open mics in Pittsburgh and this was the FIRST time! (It was even the 201 level question of “and also a lesbian? That’s possible? 😮”)

📣 The case to support Annie Jump Vicente (she/her) of West Hollywood, CA.

A lead organizer for @transrescueaction.bsky.social, a non profit that relocates trans refugees from Red states to SoCal, was arrested after being hate crimed outside her home in West Hollywood, CA three days ago.

1. Today, Senate Democrats showed spine, and killed a national transgender sports ban bill via filibuster.

Not a SINGLE Democrat voted for cloture.

S. Baum writes about what happened today, including some of the speeches.

Senate Dems Show Spine, And National Sports Ban Bill Dies
The failed legislation reflects a wider effort to disallow trans women (or anyone suspected of being a trans woman) from women’s sports and spaces.

Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Four weeks. It took four weeks before I found myself playing a benefit show. I’m proud of me.

@reynoldsgareth.bsky.social doing the act out of the doctor informing a man of his botched surgery on the most recent Dollop hits real real hard when you’ve had bottom surgery. Or as I occasionally like to call it, my CBT Diploma.

Oh, hi. I moved to Pittsburgh. There's no internet at my house and no socials on my phone, so I hadn’t even thought about telling people I made it okay. It’s been amazing. I’ve been here two weeks and I’ve already gone and done more queer things than I would in year back in Nevada. My new home <3

I don’t know about y’all, but I think the US Government is a flat out bummer. Just the pits. Two thumbs down. Real crummy government. Let me live in your cities at night, so I can hide my romance in the shadows cast by the police lights and we will sing love songs to the moon. Buncha jerks.

Huge win for the higher ups at the ny times
Trump issues a sweeping executive order purporting to (a) defund medical institutions that provide gender-affirming care to patients under 19 and (b) revoke coverage for such care under federal insurance plans. This is illegal and will be challenged. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I’ve been thinking about this all day. It feels like last year was my “enough is enough,” and that’s why I’m uprooting my whole life, but I should draw a new line. When do I reevaluate? If my id’s are all stricken, I think. That’s when I should think about if this place is getting too hot.
what are the steps you would only take if push came to shove?

and what constitutes a "shove"?

and how many shoves have you already gone through without noticing?

the final Alt-Right Playbook is now live.

it's called The South Bank of the Rubicon.

For those that don't know, I do have a new recommendation for you about air filters. They're good for much more than JUST SARS, they work great with wildfire smoke or pet dander, bad smells, and dust in the air. Plus you can make your own for very cheap:

Her, “I’d latch on to you like a remora.”
Me, “A remora? But they suck.”
Her, “And if you’re good you can tell me where.”

The lady I’ve been seeing has a special way of horrifying me while also making me blush. At least I got to be witty for a second before the word salad that followed.

No one wants to be smug about being right on this shit, but also it feels maddening to constantly be warning people, ignored, and then seeing the thing you warned people about happen. So, this is to say a thank you to all the trans women who warned us last year to get your passport. I did. Thank you

hi, cis folks! meet S.9. it's the senate sports ban for trans athletes—a big step to something making trump’s executive order federal law, which is much harder to undo.

short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️.

if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.🧵

You could break free and be your own salvation
If you recognize and then reclaim
The powers that you've given up
Invest instead in real self-love and
Righteous transformation of the brain
(And all of the blood in your veins)
Turn your heart into
A perpetual motion machine

No one showed up to say goodbye or wish me good luck in a town I’ve lived in for thirteen years. Moving seems like it was a good choice. Eat shit, I guess 🤷‍♀️
