Yes, no latch has proven strong enough for mine either πŸ«‚ But I think sometimes we build dams to create lakes when there should be rivers to carry things away from us. I’ve been a lurker in the fandom for a long time as I’ve been going through a lot of shit but your account has brought me joy πŸ«‚

They won't start with banning birth control. First they'll lie about it. Then dictate who can prescribe it, use it, fund it, in what forms, and for how long. Suddenly, your doctor won't call you back. I know this is what they'll do because it's what they're doing to transgender healthcare right now.

Whenever I see a politician like Gavin Newsom complain about "pronouns," I want to give a grammar lesson in reflexive pronouns:

Go fuck yourself.

I do exactly as Sylvia Plath taught me.

β€œI took a deep breath and listened to the old brag of my heart. I am, I am, I am.”

I slow down, I breathe deep, I listen to my heart, and I softly say β€œI am, I am, I am.”

It helps. After all this time, it still helps.

The GOP has offered nothing this century except for catastrophic wars. No healthcare plan; no re-industrialization. Now they're losing their only issue, immigration, as people see the violence and havoc that comes with mass deportations.

My recurring nightmare is what gen ai can do to trans people.

Like, the terror of them using it to create their own justification is immense.

Boston Children’s Fights Back For Trans Kids: Judge Quashes Trump Subpoena Around 2,000 BCH employees and untold numbers of patients were targeted by the DOJ. A judge just told them, β€œNo.”

1. Trump threatened every hospital that provides gender affirming care to transgender youth.

Many complied and shut down their programs.

Boston Children's Hospital didn't. They fought back and kept providing care.

And now, they just beat Trump in court.

I swear pretty often and for so long I heard people say "people who swear aren't being creative and should use other words," but let me tell you: I'm a professional writer. I have access to all of the words, I LOVE finding the perfect word! And a lot of times, the perfect word is fuck.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy.

This seems kinda significant.
