The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

Just a handful of kits and designs I've recently finished. I'm really grateful for many aspects of embroidery but after going through a three week lupus & fibro flare, I'm especially grateful for its portability.

When conversations about fairness in sports come up, I am always baffled.
Not the transgender of it all, so much as the idea that there’s fairness in sports. They’re arbitrary rules we made up to celebrate the people who can do them better and deride the folks who can’t.
Fun, sure. But fair?

On the whole Al Green thing, I want to see more of that, not less. The Democratic Party needs to be as viscerally pissed off about the rape of American democracy as I am. And that's the only way I can describe it.

Since we’re debating Rep. Al Green’s method of dissent this week, here’s a quick reminder: tone policing is a form of suppressing opposition.
When someone objects to the tone of criticism, they are trying to set the terms of debate in a way that is favorable to them.
Fuck. That. Noise.

Tonight is my first pottery lesson and I'm so anxious about it. What if I just can't make anything, what if I keep fucking things up, what if what I make looks like a third grader did it?

It's really disheartening to have my mom double down on her transphobic comments while claiming to be liberal, while having a trans grandchild and an enby for a child, equating trans women using women's bathroom with rape, and even more invoking MY rape in the same breath, 1/2

Hard same, MurderBot, hard same.
(Right, I should probably mention that I find 99.9 percent of human parts physically disgusting. I’m also less than thrilled with my own human parts.)

This fucking sucks. I'm so angry, confused, and sad. Things were going good and then this blindside. It's really getting to me that we were on such opposites of the spectrum. I had hoped to schedule another stayover and try to work up the courage to say, "I love you." I just can't handle any more.

Never imagined I would be sitting in the living room with my meta, who is also going through a breakup, and running into each other on multiple dating sites as we try to cope.

Shout out to the lesbian couple at the restaurant last night for sweeping in with cat stories as my partner was breaking up with me.

My families are imploding - both biological and chosen - people I love are hurting and nothing is okay right now.

Finally getting Pagan: Fate of Roanoke on the table, playing the Witch Hunter trying to ferret out Eris’s witch. So far, this is a fun, asymmetrical card game that has LCG-style expansion if wanted

Can't sleep tonight because:
1) Worries related to election stuff, visualizing the near future, and getting more and more scared
2) I'm staying over at my new partner's place for the first time tomorrow night
3) Other stupid brain things

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.
Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.

I'm still reeling from the fact that both my parents voted for Trump. I feel disgusted and sad and betrayed. How do you vote for someone who threatens your child's and your grandchildren's existence?
