I spent years struggling with my gender, knowing that I wasn't a man, that something about my body wasn't right. Once I finally had that egg cracking moment, after getting over the initial shock, I knew there was only one path forward for me. Since then, I've really been loving life 💖
Why did you transition? Right answers only
You know, sometimes old ideas do have merit. Fight for a future where people are taken care of and take care of others in return, where the mechanisms of the economy and state are controlled truly democratically by the people, and where the plenty that already exists is shared among us all.

Hot union summer isn't over just yet! The folks that make D&D, Magic: The Gathering, and more are forming a union! They are asking Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro to voluntarily recognize the union, and you can help out by adding your name to this petition!
Curious how you can help? We ask that you sign our petition for Wizards to voluntarily recognize our union, share it with your communities, and keep an eye on this account for future updates! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

just wanna re-up the part where I wrote that many immigrants in Maine have been sheltering in place since January for their own safety, with ICE still operating in the area. it is October.
whether or not it stayed in the headlines, ICE's on-the-ground presence “shocked the whole system” (in one advocate's words), changing life for Maine communities. many immigrants have been effectively sheltering in place since Jan, relying on grocery drop-offs and volunteers to take kids to school.
Believe me when I say that the best time to start transitioning was yesterday, but the second best time is today. There will never be a "perfect" time to start, and now is an especially scary moment to have come into yourself like you have. But this is so worth it, and I regret every day I waited 💖

my latest: Massachusetts is one of the safest states for trans people—but multiple hospitals preemptively ended youth trans care over Trump admin threats to cut fed funding. on Wed, trans activists took their HRT at a govt office and refused to leave without a commitment to fight those hospitals.
Tired of living in the digital panopticon? Get familiar not just with Flock, but all the other vendors of ALPRs! Show up to your local city council, select board, town meeting sessions and demand that they cancel existing contracts AND pass binding resolutions restricting them from future roll outs.
Time to get familiar with the other players in the ALPR game www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

AG Campbell has a duty to uphold the laws of Massachusetts. Her office has neglected to do that while cowardly institutions like Fenway and Baystate Health flagrantly break MA laws by continuing to deny care to trans youth. These young people are braver than anyone in that office. Solidarity ✊🏻

If you want to show solidarity with these brave people, the first step is joining in on their demands that the AG enforce existing state laws: actionnetwork.org/letters/prot...

The T is broken because the Legislature is broken. We deserve reliable, safe and affordable public transit, but the Massachusetts Legislature has neglected the MBTA for decades. I am running to invest in building a state that works for all of us.

The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?
