I have some bad news for all you cis women voting and working to ban HRT. You are going to NEED that shit when you hit peri/menopause. All of our struggles for bodily autonomy against a fascist cisheteropatriarchy are connected.

It's why conservatives turned "woke" into something derogatory to be mocked. Because one of the most dangerous things to a conservative is a woke white person.
I was an adult before I learned Lincoln's real beliefs. Same with Susan B Anthony. All for the comfort of us poor, fragile white folks. 🤮

Sesame Street will be putting a huge collection of episodes on YouTube starting in January 2026
This is a fantastic way to educate children
It’s a form of resistance.
Shows like Sesame Street teach love, tolerance, acceptance & more.
These lessons are crucial for the long fight ahead.

If you care about social justice, wear a respirator.
If you want to fight fascism, wear a respirator.
If you care about your health, wear a respirator.
A well fitted respirator protects against Covid, measles & more.
It’s a simple & easy way to resist while practicing community care.

One of the best ways you can help disabled people and fight fascism is by wearing a mask.
Representation and visibility matter. When you wear a mask you tell us you care about making public spaces safe & accessible.
You also make it harder for mask bans to pass.
Mask up. We need you.

It will never cease to amaze me that wearing a mask was a deal breaker for many people.
It’s a powerful public health tool. It’s one of the most effective ways to avoid mass disablement. It keeps you & your community healthy. It shows you prioritize self care, disability justice & bodily autonomy.

Nonbinary people are trans. Agender people are trans. Genderfluid people are trans. People who don't or can't medically transition are trans.
If your gender identity isn't what you were assigned at birth, you're trans, and you're my sibling, and you're welcome in my community. No to gatekeeping.

Maybe approach the trans athletes issue from a standpoint of self-preservation - because YOU’RE NEXT.

If you stopped masking - please start again. The period between Christmas & New Years is one where people travel, gather & tend to get sick
Masking up could ensure you stay healthy & prevent infecting someone else
Even if you don’t care if YOU get sick - many of us can’t risk it. Mask for us.
