I haven't been here much lately because the election sent me into full withdrawal mode but my husband just told me I'm aging like fine cheese and I had to share it with someone

Saw my first in person Cybertruck yesterday. It looked like a Nintendo cartridge receding slowly into the distance, except not as cool

skeets flood the skyline as bloomfies skeet their poastes into the skeet stream, the quote-skeet echoes of sweet skeet discourse reskeeting over the skeet-soaked firehose feed of hot skeets.

truly, bluesky is alive with the sound of endless skeeting. 😌
You know what, I’m going to skeet even harder.
I need you all to stop saying “skeet”, please, for the love of god

I think "turkey bag" would make an excellent insult.

Yes, I've been doing the grocery list for the holidays..

several dozen ppl have told me they're taking part in this action, most trans. would love to get more cis queers & allies on board – all you have to do is publish a post or video on December 3rd – details below!

This just allowed me to find a queer bookstore with a monthly book club very close to me. I've lived here for years and had no idea it existed.
This link was ALWAYS throttled on Twitter

*clears throat*

Please use bookshop.org when you order books

It will allow you choose a local bookstore and order online while still supporting them

It's rather awesome

Brought back a lot of memories of the 5 or so months I was homeless. The constant fear, the indignity, the absurd rules in place to prevent agencies from being able to help.

15 years later I still find myself in front of the pantry, counting all my foodstuffs to reassure myself.

Bathroom bans and policies don’t do what they purport to do 👎

The argument is they're created to 'protect women', but they usually do the opposite. 

To turn a phrase, they stink all round 🚽 Here's why 🧵by @jamiewareham.co.uk

I woke up this morning, sat up, and immediately choked on my spit.

I said, "Well that's not an auSPITious start to the day," and my husband did not laugh and now I don't know if our relationship is solid anymore

Pausing the movie (Lord of the Rings) every time my husband leaves the room so he HAS to watch all 167 (ish) hours

Rewatching Lord of the Rings (for comfort) and just really enjoying imagining whoever had to interview a sweaty, shifty guy named Grima Wormtongue. Like, well, you're suss as fuck but your resumé checks out, you're in!

Do you have trans people in your life who you worry might be losing hope? Are you, maybe, one such person yourself?

Or, are you a fan of great writing by incredible trans people and want to read what they're thinking in this historic moment?
