The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

I'll say it once and I'll say it again. If you think artists are just "naturally talented", you're deeply wrong. The only difference between you and us is that we kept trying when it didn't come out like we hoped.
You can always make art yourself. There's no bad time to start, you can start now.

Just a reminder that this is still very much accurate and relevant. Even when the EHRC publish the Code of Practice, which does not change the actual law.
Trans people in the UK can still use the toilets that match their gender. Yes, even after the Supreme Court ruling. Here's why:

I always feel like ‘oh, I can’t really tell if my ADHD meds are doing much’, and then I’ll make hot chocolate and think: gosh, if I had a container, I could pre-mix the cocoa and the demerara and the coffee creamer, and have hot chocolate ready to go. If I had a container I’d do that Right Now.

CPTSD can do a real number on our ability to express some of the most important things about ourselves. One of the biggest frustrations of many survivors is carrying entire worlds around inside us-- but running into walls when we try to put the most basic words to our experience.

I like drawing queers as bunnies for so many reasons. I feel like bunnies have this implied innocence, so when you draw them being queer or fucking rawly or playing in each others blood its like. This is innocent because its true and sincere. Guilty of nothing but living and loving.

since we seem to be doing "young men" & "crisis of masculinity" Discourse™ again, here's a 🧵 on this topic from earlier this year:
last week there was a lot of "young men" & "crisis of masculinity" Discourse™, so since I'm gradually uploading some of my old slam poems to YouTube, I figured I'd release "Barrette Manifesto", which later became a chapter of my first book #WhippingGirl...

The person we pretend to be to please or appease others isn't going to recover from CPTSD by virtue of being able to present well.
We only recover from our authenticity. Which requires us to cease waging war on who we are & who we've been.

screenshotting to agree not dunk since her quotes are disabled but; if you're making payment processor calls and you hit this, I think bringing up Game Of Thrones is such a huge brain strategy to throw at a layperson. GoT was HUGE and has all the shit Collective Shout weaponized to start this.

Yes, brain, I *definitely* wanted to wake up at >3AM from a nightmare about witnessing sudden and senseless violence occur to people close to me, but not me. What the fuck did you do that for.

hey have a script for leaving a message for Stripe.
the number i used Minutes ago so i know it works:
877-887-7815
you will not have to talk to a real person, this number leaves a message. i recommend switching up the exact wording so you don't just leave the same message as me.

I once read a comment saying something like "if you choose not to laugh at farts, your life will contain less laughter but still the same amount of farts". I think about that a lot.

So, WFM guy here, I crunch call center numbers all day and advise management on performance and staffing requirements. Here are some concrete goals to keep in mind with any sort of calling campaign: 🧵
