Should go without saying, but this is indefensible, full stop. All the arguments defending it amount to collective punishment. Nothing, nothing, nothing can justify this, ever, anywhere, at all.

I've accepted my limitations. I can't do everything, I can't read everything, I can't organize beyond my limits.

But if you care about trans knowledge, now is as good a time as any to give my primer on the topic a read:

Project 2025 wants to criminalize trans literature. Here’s a game plan for keeping our stories alive.

agree with emily here. this is wild
this is what’s bothered me about this one. i have the same issues with the US military as every non-imperialist, but the declaration that a specific kind of person is inherently deceitful & without honor, undisciplined, arrogant, & selfish & therefore unsuitable for work is chilling in implications.

An important new one-woman show about a trans parent needs your support!

In 1994, a trans musician faces the threat of losing her child if she chooses her authenticity. Her transition triggers a vicious custody battle; she fights overwhelming odds for the right to parent her child.

It’s actually super annoying that my purpose in life is to be joyful, raise kids in a gay ass household, and do live art but now I’m forced to care about geopolitics because of like 5 fucking white men in a group chat. I should not have to care about men who don’t wear heels.

Canada kept a far-right, Trump asskisser from becoming Prime Minister so in honor of that here is some Le More Velvet Red alpaca/silk yarn. 🧶

No blue bc Canada said no to being the 51st State.

There is still work to do, so keep your gloves on.

Oh hey happy #lesbianvisibilityweek

I'm a very visible lesbian whose identity has helped her find strength in everything from my own self to my writing, which frequently features at least one or two queer ladies. Hire me to write them for you!!
