Just like… figuring it out. Slowly.

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

I'm so goddamn tired of saying this but: this is it.

All the worrying that trans folks have had since he took office? This is why. This is the first step on a short road that ends with the criminalization of trans existence in the US. It isn't doomsaying. It isn't panic. It's right in front of us.

Well, after a year of going back and forth with the California court system, they’ve dismissed my kid’s name change.

I followed all their fiddly fucking diy instructions on the website, pieced together the cryptic ‘do this over’ returns, and they fucked off with my money.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself?

"fork lady is eroding public confidence."

"ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field."

"lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability."

that's what you sound like.

“Fuck you, make me” should be everyone’s default response to authority.

Get in the habit of pushing back.
It's amazing how so fucking many institutions complied with fascism when pretty much every time someone goes "fuck you, make me" the government goes "oh no we made an oopsie, we didn't mean to say that, birthday boy did a lil poopsie oopsie"

If you don’t want to get assassinated for your political views, perhaps don’t call for violence against others?

Not 100% guaranteed this one, especially if your opponents _are_ calling for violence.

Slow building realization about my relationship history.

Even though on first glance I look the beige lost boy role, I have actually consistently been the manic pixie dream girl pouring into them until they feel alive again.

Sending them out into the world renewed, while I am left drained.

ICE raided a battery plant run by Hyundai & LG Energy that was under construction and arrested hundreds of people including 30 Koreans on business trips.

The U.S. government is actively sabotaging the economy and MAGA are too drunk on mass deportations and owning the libs to care.

Why am I never going to shut up about how terrible Gavin Newsom is? Because I don't like this cross-platform inorganic effort to shut people up about how he much he sucks. I'm not letting a bunch of bots tell me what to do. It's pure oppositional defiance. Lol

This is the kind of good news I needed today. ❤️❤️❤️
A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant.

Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed.

This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.
Tell me something that brought you joy this week.

Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.
