Stepping away from this app and all social media. This isn't a big storming out post, or a vague post it's just one to remind you to do the same if you need to. No matter how important it is it doesn't mean a damn thing if you don't see tomorrow. I'm just too sick right now to carry all this too.

kinda frustrating how i can’t seem to reach the queer community at large about our lil trans wrestling and combat sports program despite my best efforts :( i know they’ll love our shit they just need to know about it but it’s so hard

I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to keep pushing this. If I don't reach my goal, then at the end of the month I'll be homeless. Anything helps!!

Trans girl needs to find a place to live by the end of the month. My car is dead, and I'm still trying to find work. I'm sorry to ask, but I desperately need help to pay bills, and have the funds to move. My birthday is next week and any help would be a great present! Even sharing helps!

My mother in Gaza has suffered for years with a rare eye condition. With the ongoing war, drug costs & black market prices are now out of reach: she relies on monthly $500 Avastin injections to prevent blindness after eye surgery. Please donate or share to help us! 💔 chuffed.org/project/1876...

This is quiet transphobia. It's telling people who have a problem with being told they're not people to sit down, shut up and let the adults speak. Buddy you're just another cog. Sooner or later they'll turn on someone you do care about and by then it'll be too late.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

Probably 4 or 5 in hindsight? I wasn't like the boys, but I wasn't like most of the girls either. Probably about the same time I realized I was a girl but that got buried deep. Later I unironically wore a full length leather coat, and if they weren't so hot and made of murder I would again!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

Being this blunt and precise at the same time is kind of impressive

Just like we should never hate watch the HP show We must stop sharing and normalizing GenAI content of all kinds. The more you use it to make fun of it the more it will feel harmless. It is making you look like a fucking clown. Not the cool kind of clown either. You fucking losers.

I wanted to be a specific type of woman when I started transitioning. I had a goal in mind. Took me far too long to figure out she was already me. I still have transition goals, things I know I can, and want, to change, but I think I've finally started to let go of some shit.

Spare a thought for your chronically ill trans boys and girls when you can, the current stress of the situation can cause really bad flares, depending on the condition. Personally my body has become useless, and my mind isn't far behind.

the Ohio Democratic party is purging its ranks by forcing trans people to either resign or go along with politicians who threaten their existence and calling a pride group an "unwelcoming distraction." If we're just a distraction, then win without our votes and get rid of the fake "pride" orgs 👍🏾

Arienne Childrey@ari4ohio.bsky.social

Today, I resigned as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. The state party expects us to be a sales team, censoring our voices when we beg candidates not to trade on trans lives. I am still a Democrat, but I will not value party approval over true, defiant advocacy. Full text below. 👇

a good example of how Democratic party politicians love to come out as transphobic and then victim-blame trans people when we inevitably reject their program of segregation: "They blame the Pride Caucus for the bad press caused by ODP and the Acton/ Kaptur campaigns."

I have been dealing with a lot of physical issues, and am at one of the lowest points in my life because of it. This story gave me another reason to hang on. There's still beauty in the world.

Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social

You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

There was a point in my life I didn't understand the words rape culture, popular Boogeyman term at one point, oddly, if not still, I didn't understand how truly pervasive it was and still is. Everything is weighted to excuse them, to show it isn't a big deal, you can do it too, no problem.

I gave up on my local community when I asked that, for our teams community action program, we have sit down meetings as well as cookouts because me, and people like me, can't handle the noise and standing long term. I was accused of wanting to take away their cookouts, rather than adding something.

After days upon days of seeing people telling us that we need to suck it up and vote for transphobes in the US because "it's about everyone not just you" seeing vocal support feels nice.

Gail Simone@gailsimone.bsky.social

NEWS: I don’t like transphobes and here is a short list of why. 1) They are full of shit.

This isn't something theoretical that we (trans people) think is happening all on our own. It's happening, and guess what, saying "no boys in girls sports" when asked a question on trans shit IS a part of that! We need support when people use genocidal talking points, and Bluesky let us down.

Guess what? The trans person you're going to now freely tell to "enjoy the camps" when they say they can't vote for one of the Dems that didn't just abandon us, but offered us up as sacrifices KNOWS how important that vote is, and has done the work to get to that point!

I haven't lived in Ireland in 21 years nearly, but I've still got the passport and feel pretty sure about saying that no we don't fucking want you

“Singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran has said he identifies culturally as Irish despite being born and raised in England.” STOLEN VALOR!!!!!!!

Just gonna be up front about this, I'm going to be more loudly political here with my thoughts. Before anyone tells me to get out there are you gonna make sure my wheelchair can get to and from the location without hassle and without me being in agony the following days I'd love to hear it.

Ms. Rachel: "Ed Sheeran had an opportunity…Instead he caved to people who refuse to accept what the world knows." "If more than 20,000 white children were killed…everyone would be shouting…Treating some children's lives as less worthy of outrage is racist. Silence during a genocide is not neutral."

Prem Thakker ツ@premthakker.bsky.social

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

This is how you do it, right here. You don't backpedal, you don't sell out, you call bullshit bullshit and then back it up with some factual information. That is what being a human being should be about.

Some Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

No candidate, regardless of party, will ever get my vote if they call me a "biological man" and advocate for laws targeting my community. Its that simple.

I'm a disabled trans person. Invisible because of my disability, and equally visible only because I chose to live my actual life to those who have, and seek power. I saw the cracks years ago in the system that's already let me down so, so often. Being sold out still fucking stings, every time.

Vaccines are incredibly important and you should absolutely use this method. I just ask that everyone be aware that by doing so, there's a chance they close what you see as a loophole and I see as the thing that means I get the vaccines I need without having to prove it. Just keep it in mind.

Tim Curry was a lot of things for a lot of people, but for me the role I think of for him first is Gabriel Knight. He really elevated an already very good adventure game story, much like he did everything he was in.

Please help a disabled trans lesbian get some food today if you can. Anything helps.

Valkyrie Thunderbitch@valkyrieladyk.bsky.social

I'm struggling to find work due to multiple disabilities including long covid. I'm broke, my fridge is empty, and I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills. If you feel like making an old trans lesbian's life a little better, my Paypal/cashapp/venmo info is in my bio. Anything helps.

400 library workers begin their strike Monday after endless months of trying to negotiate with management. Already the anti-union propaganda machine is calling the library workers entitled. The LIBRARY workers. You don't staff the desk at the free stuff store because you're greedy.
