On my first full day of real work I went to the cafeteria on site for a coffee and they were selling $5 mystery snack bags. I’d say this was a pretty haul for $5. Blueberry Cereal bar not shown as I ate it. 🍽️

Hard agree. If you’re making jokes about Trump by denigrating vulnerable women like Monica Lewinsky or marginalized minorities like gay people you’re an idiot. Stop it, and fuck freight off.
Hey maybe we all agree we don't make vulnerable girls punchlines, even it's to make political points, huh?

MeToo did not go far enough. People were saying "MeToo has gone too far" when it had barely just picked up momentum.
It was an attempt at reckoning with how institutionally misogynistic and sexually exploitative most institutions are and what women are constantly put through. So it was crushed.

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke...
Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Girlfriend came out to a (conservative) coworker and showed a photo of me to her. Her comment was, “She looks like a woman.” I know the implication of that statement, but honestly I blushed and take it as a bit of a complement. 😊

I feel “emergent” is the closest description. My past shaped some good pieces of my personality; but, I came from within him, and have slowly taken over awareness and control. I am a different person; but share parts of his past - and oddly, I’m not sure he ever fully imagined or met me.
How do you explain what happened to your past self once you transitioned?
Are they dead? Alive within you? Never alive in the first place? Or something else entirely?
