You voted to strip the healthcare away from the trans children of active duty military.
We need more people to be comfortable saying that preventing a category of people from existing is, at best, eugenics.
Parents need to be able to apologize to their children early and often.
I may be sick, in pain, and exhausted, but I'm determined to survive and fight—especially as a Black, queer, disabled enby.
Marsha didn't throw that brick just to have us all go back underground.
Is it me, or does time seem like it's passing by at a snail's pace or some points?
I hope James Baldwin and Nikki Giovanni are carrying on this conversation in Black Heaven

The ban only makes sense if you consider "trans children surviving to become trans adults" as a harm, as a failure state.
The ban only makes sense if you think most trans kids dying so *some* desist and identify as cis is a success.
May the Universe liberate us all from oppression, marginalization, pain, and suffering. ❤️

please listen to @dreamstates.bsky.social and @ryancassata.bsky.social . As it becomes harder and more dangerous to perform live, online trans plays/playlists and sharing with cis friends will be key in humanizing trans folk.
Anti-capitalist affirmations, because we are all worthy.
sincerely hope y'all understand the difference between reclaiming gay/queer (using pejoratives as positive terms or uplifting affirmations of community)
and """reclaiming""" that other word by using it as slang for "idiotic",
because u think a mental illness means you have an "r-word pass" 🙏✨❤️ tysm

New account following pro trans accounts. FYI
As my friend Kiese Laymon says — and I believe posted this the other day — “there is no safety, only safer” especially for black queer people. Something I have been saying for years is “there’s nowhere I could go in America and not be in America.”
Thanks for assuming I didn’t understand this tho.
what if your ideas are as in love with you as you are with them?
what if your creativity spends its days dreaming about you too?
what if art is a co-creation between you (the vessel) & the eternal source of all things?
what if this act of making is the universe experiencing itself through you?
*Energy
The hardest part is that I wanna create stuff (art, writing, music), but so much of my enery is focused on survival now that I can't. ☹️
Considering the number of posts I see expressing the idea that you shouldn't ask your friends for help moving and that basic kindness is now "emotional labor," that you should hire someone to do that for you, yeah, "throw money at it" has become people's one and only solution.

I'm classy like that.
There are gonna be disabled folks who can't contribute anything to The Cause. They have no money, no energy, no physical ability, no time. They will need to receive and will never be able to give back. You gotta save them, too. Especially them.

Musk keeps ranting we need to breed more to produce more Einsteins. I wonder how many Einsteins currently work as busboys cuz they live in a wrong zip code.
Disabled people have been right about almost everything that’s happened over the last five years.
People don’t listen to us because they don’t think of us as real people. We’re invisible (at best) and completely disposable (at worse).
We are the canaries - and we are trying to warn you. Listen.
Do not EVER, no matter what gender you are, let a man or a woman tell you the limits of what you can do and who you can be.
That is the beginning of death.
NO ONE defines you but you. NO ONE gets to tell you who you are. NO ONE gets to defeat you before the battle begins.
