In 2025 I would love for journalists to recognize that nonbinary people aren't new.

Stop writing bullshit like, "The academic, who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns..."

Give your readers some credit. We do not require explanation.

Treat us like the normal, boring people we are.

Emphasizing this message: be proactive!

Download PDFs of webpages they may take down. Print them. Get physical copies of the books they want to get rid of. Preserve history. Preserve knowledge. People deserve access to information about the world around them! 🏺
Every archaeologist in the US needs to be proactively organizing against the erasure of cultural heritage 🏺
While I can't confirm anything at this point, it looks like the National Park Service has taken down web pages for:

National Japanese American Memorial
Bainbridge Island Japanese American Memorial
Stonewall National Monument

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

It'd be great if MAGA would stop trying to become the dystopian novels they ban. Please‽ 😭 I want to read those books, not be in them.

Nothing will make you realize how little other humans actually understand the words coming out of your mouth like making video content on the internet. 🫠

I’ve been… really struggling lately with the state of things. Partner said something today that helped a bit and I thought others might find it helpful as well.

“The biggest victory for them right now would be for us to lay down and die. Simply living your life is an act of defiance.”

Another reminder that LI Who & their showrunner Ken Deep refused to denounce and cancel the appearance of transphobic guest Terry Molloy at their event in Aug. of this year & silenced those of us that have tried to call out this behavior
Long Island Doctor Who Convention and Ken Deep, DO BETTER!

Embracing the awkwardness of myself with other folks who I can be awkward with is wonderful
I am awkward. This is a fact. Rather than stress over it, I'm trying to embrace it as part of the magic of me.

Remember, the right wingers are not arguing in good faith. They just want to create chaos and make others miserable. Do not engage. Report/block.

The goal is to have right wingers so blocked on here that they’re complaining about it on Twitter
