Tomorrow I'm filming an update on the channel. I might not be fully healed but the channel is coming back online this week. Thank you for everyone who's been standing behind me during this painful process. Now let's keep fucking going.

If someone wants to transition and then for whatever reason needs to stop they need gender affirming care. That ALREADY EXISTS. This is not fucking that. This is pushing the idea that me and mine are a disease. And there are no good options for what happens next when that becomes accepted broadly.

its insane how not many people are talking about how republicans with the help of several moderate democrats are building out the largest abusive medical conversion therapy operation in modern american history

I am speaking from experience I have stopped and restarted hormones when I experienced homelessness and was questioning what flavor of gender queer if any I was and what that meant for transitioning. You know what I didn’t fucking need at any point? A hospital saying trans people need to be cured.

This exists ONLY as a way of spreading some truly heinous and hateful lies about me and mine. The very best options for what happens if this is broadly accepted I cannot bring up without catching a banhammer. And those are all terrible. I do not want that. But we’re not going back in the closet.

Any politician not screaming about how bad this is accepts your slaughter in exchange for votes. Stay. Fucking. Dangerous. Nobody is coming to save us, we keep us safe.

The worst part is we aren’t even demanding new rights in most current trans rights fights it is a group that openly hates us trying to take away rights we have enjoyed for years and people acting like this is just a normal and acceptable thing to happen. We deserve to fucking exist peacefully.

i will never not be militant about trans rights cis people: demand nothing less than full, unequivocal rights for trans people and do not accept from anyone the idea that it is naive to demand it we deserve what you have

The large number of literal, open Nazi accounts that are on here that don't get banned, while the entire trans community walks on eggshells because responding the same way these accounts CONSTANTLY post gets us a ban that they will never face ... This place is regularly not safe. Treat it as such.

If you organize a protest and you don’t have answers for how to de-arresting your fellow protestors you are organizing a state approved protest. And attention type protests can matter. But real, actual change comes from the kind of protest they won’t. You need some “fuck you, no” in your thinking.

Imagine telling someone “my account is intentionally and regularly repeating harmful bullshit about minority communities for yucks” and genuinely thinking that’s a defense. “No I’m helping people hurt you but it’s a joke haha get it?” get the entire fuck out of here and delete your account.

I normally don’t repost engagement bait posts but this reminds me of the closest thing I have to a religious belief at this point: Some music is a magic spell that can change you if you go through it. Some songs you listen to in one state and the song rewrites your self. You come out another state.

If you mean a song I can put on regardless of mental headspace or struggle, listen to, reset, and be ready to tackle complicated and intense tasks, State of the Art by Jim James. youtu.be/mUYf2yu78Ts?...

You’re not trying to get back to where you were because you were never going to be that even without trauma. That’s just normal growth as a person. What you can do, the only thing anyone can ever do, is make the best out of the pieces they have in the morning and become a new person again.

Unpacking shit is easy. You just open up what happened and take out the parts and look at them. The hard work is finding a new place for those pieces to go. It helps to remember every day we all become a new person built out of our old life. You are always new. And the sun will eventually rise.

The single best piece of advice I’ve ever been given on processing trauma: “Don’t forget if you unpack something you have to actually put it somewhere. Otherwise it’s still taking up just as much space in your mind.”

Hi there, and welcome to #FridayFucksorSucks, a weekly game with simple rules: guns fuck, or they suck. This week, we have the AMT Automag III. Essentially an M1911 mechanically, it is a single action pistol chambered in .30 Carbine in an attempt to utilize milsurp ammo. Only ~a thousand were made.

This is terrifying. Stay dangerous. Keep each other safe. Because I have a terrible feeling things are going to get worse in the immediate future.

Major news this morning. Louise Lucas, a chief antagonist of Trump and Virginia Republicans (and one of the most vocal proponents of gerrymandering the state earlier this year) is criminally charged by the feds over her marijuana business:

Dark bit of positivity: An anti queer genocide will never work. Not because they can’t round up and kill a bunch of us, but because a lot of their kids will be queer no matter what they do. What they want is to change how people exist, queerness is just unfiltered human love and that won’t change.

Queer Armorer@queerarmorer.bsky.social

Stay dangerous. Keep each other safe. Our community will continue whether they want it to or not. We will go on. We will survive. There will always be more of us. No matter how much they hate us or profess a want to eliminate us from existence, hate and fear cannot kill us in a way that matters.

The true goal of anarchy isn’t to destroy the government while everyone relies on it for basic survival. It’s to make the government irrelevant. You do that by being and building the supports and structures you want to see in your community and refusing to allow the government taking it over.

Anarchy doesn’t work when it’s leaderless. It works when every single person takes on the full responsibility of leading in the community. It’s not leaderless, EVERYONE is the leader and everyone shapes it to make it better. We keep us safe. It’s how community survival has always worked.

And yes, there are not perfect versions of this. All systems have holes and all systems require real, serious, intense work to keep them running. Holding them together is not easy. Surrendering control is easy. Giving in to government overreach is easy. Things that are worth doing are often hard.

Forcing myself to not just rush into a toxic D/s relationship is only working because I have hard stopped everything. I miss that release. So badly. But I need to be able to stand on my own before I can do that again otherwise it’s like mountain climbing with no net - if you fall you break.

reminder that submission is a beautiful high art just as much as dominance and it should be respected at all costs and never looked down upon. nobody is ever less for submitting.

Told a potential therapist a rough frame of my trauma history. Got a call after the session, apparently I’m “dealing with a lot” and “too intense” and they are “not the right fit” and I should find someone else. Ever get dumped by a therapist? Because holy fuck I don’t want to do that again.

I got a gigantic pile of writing done today. Some of it was trauma processing sure but several components of future episodes too. Including I’m changing what’s coming next to something incredibly important.

Pixar movies are all rendered on gigantic server farms the size of most office buildings. On Monsters Inc, each frame took over twelve hours. It only expanded with new technologies, recent it was 29 hours per frame for Monsters University.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Tesla is selling the roadster with fully functioning rockets … it just can’t be used on public roads. Which. Buying a car shaped object that can’t be used as, you know, a CAR feels like an important caveat to mention. But this is from the guy who says dancing interns are “prototype robots” so …

They’re also only selling the working rocket version to people who apply and get approved for it. Which would be a great way to make sure none of them actually get made outside of commercials and in media. The thrust variant actively scares me that one is gonna kill a lot of people. Not joking.
