A transfeminine, 36yo lady living in the Pacific Northwest. Obsessed with housing as a human right, power dynamics of urbanism and classism, the occult, plants, animist reality, queer politics, and living in a place w/a clawfoot tub and balcony.
Oh yes, please, we need more platitudes and class betrayal and drone strikes!! 🤣 dear lord, the democrats’ progress will only ever be measured in the funerals of dinosaurs.

Poor things! At least they got a plant person looking out for them. Happy gardening!

Looks like a scrappy PNW alley garden. Good job!

So Cesar has the audacity to tell me and others at the bottom of the food chain that we are “supposed to trust each other”? And if I refuse to, would he dare say that I am being selfish? If I read this article correctly, I’m supposed to automatically forgive? I refuse to be the christ of losers.

But guess what: $200 mil in anti-trans propaganda WON TRUMP THE ELECTION. And guess what? It was WORKING PEOPLE who voted based on transphobia, or thinking all immigrants are illegals. We are feral and selfish, aggravated by distance economic and physical….

Also, here’s a quote from Cesar… “Our best path to being able to defend vulnerable people and take on righteous, but maybe not yet popular causes, is to win the votes of the overwhelming number of working people and to be known as the party of the everyday person, first,”…..

Tell you what: I’ll remove purity tests when entire states don’t consider my existence a felony, or that the police state doesn’t target black people, or when we stop using our tax dollars to fund genocide. Until then, I view rhetoric like this as fundamentally discounting pain and targeted people.

Why on earth should I trust the strategies of a party, AND a state, AND a gender (this guy is a straight dude) which all have historically ignored our needs? Why on earth should we play into this fetid game of acting like everyone has everyone’s interests at heart?

Further, I am really tired of the idea that when my fundamental rights are under attack, that is simply distraction. If it was only a distraction, it wouldn’t result in death. Distractions are fireworks, red herrings; not taking the fundamental rights away of an entire population leading to suicide

Further, any and all economic systems are intimately tied with who gets to choose the resources, who gets denied them, and which normalized lifestyle gets their needs met first. If a politician wants trans people to not exist for example, why would they ever center my economic needs?

I think the idea that purity tests need to be dropped in every case is a load of horse shit. When a majority of a population commits purity tests, they call that “law” and can end up taking rights away. When the minority inflicts a purity test, it is our self-protection and their thorn.

I mean, as a transgender person, I’m fine with not having any rights as long as I have a claw foot tub.

He’s the embodiment of neoliberal CA, which is actually the true political center of CA. CA is no different than any other state in that only its metros are blue, and nominally-leftist at that. Further, CA has the wealth of entire nations. Can only imagine the roofies this guy has on tap.

This is what happens when out-of-touch playboys get introduced to Cyberpunk 2077 (before they ever went through a psychedelic ego death allowing them the ability to not be solipsistic) and they decide it was a universe to emulate, not fear.

Ooh, I love this asterisk meme text format! Let me try:

I believe* that America** is a great place to live***!

*Against my will, I’m blinking twice here
**the Olive Garden-we-call-a-country
***provided you aren’t poor, lack healthcare, have assets, and aren’t marginalized along socioeconomics

Oh no!! I’m so sorry, hope you feel better
