Traumatically intelligent, ADHD, GenX trans woman & Final Girl. Part-time NSFW content creator. COVID Long-Hauler. Texan in exile. Likely a synth.
Progressive Libertarian Socialist. Antifascist AF. Kind, not nice.
Trans/SW rights or no deal.
She/her.
Now, we have democrats running anti trans ads where they say they’ve voted with republicans to remove our rights and the DCCC is paying for anti trans ads.
If you can’t see we’ve already slid, you’re not fucking paying attention.
5 years ago Dems “had trans people’s backs”
4 years ago still claiming to have out backs
3 years ago took away gender affirming care for children of military families
2 years ago they let Rs attack us
1 year ago they started to think we were a hindrance to their campaigns.
And here we go with another bump. We're still nowhere near safe, and all it will take is one unexpected triple-digit bill to knock over our sandcastle.
I know shit's tough all around, I get it, but if you can spare something, it'll help. Working on getting a new job and a side hustle or two going.
Factual. I've had shit tryin' to kill me and people tryin' to break me for damn near my entire life, and guess what?
I'm still here, bitches. Why else do you think I identify as a Final Girl?
Also, just for the record—I am a good person. I am not always necessarily a nice person. Those two are mutually exclusive.
Sometimes, in certain situations, I can't be nice to you. I have to tell you what you need to hear. Whether or not you want to hear it.
Not a call-out post.
No matter how the election results come in next week, remember this:
Each and every member of the Trump administration has done things that in any sane world would have earned them a trip to the gallows.
Every last one.
Still time to book that trip, I'm just sayin'.
I am notably terrible at self-promotion, so have a repost.
We made it to payday by the skin of our teeth thanks to y’all but we still need some aid. House/Car repairs and a couple of major medical bills are looming on the horizon.

We’ve gotten a good bit so far, which will at least let us make it through the next couple weeks. We still have a ways to go before we can knock bills back enough to be safe though.
Every bit helps. 💜 #wealllifttogether

With this monopolized media empire comes not just size but unprecedented power.
The power to throw workers under the bus.
The power to price-gouge because consumers have few alternatives.
The power to decide which stories get told, but more importantly, which stories DON'T get told.
Watching bluesky’s reaction to rape allegations and how they intersect with different demographics has been very eye opening in that the reaction to right wing celebs and men with *bad* masculinity is exactly the same as reactions to any trans women with rape allegations.
Nothing like waking up from a nap-nightmare about having nothing left to lose and the only way out of being eternally gangraped by ICE after they killed everyone I love is to slaughter my way through them.
I distinctly remember one of them begging, "Please, I have a family!"
"...So did I." *BLAM*
And then I apparently led a charge out of the facility and the mayhem continued, culminating in a Molotov Bonfire, at which point I woke up and hugged the meow out of my cats and then spent five minutes bawling into my hubs' chest.
Fuck this timeline, man. I'm done.
What about restorative justice for rape victims? Could we talk about that? Maybe we could talk about how getting raped causes trauma responses and mental health crises that you get punished for for the rest of your life, but rapists apparently get to just have a good job and become a better person
THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.
Goddamn it, I hate when I'm right. The UN is not going to be much help to us, and this whole anti-everything push *is* in fact globally fucking coordinated. www.unclosetedmedia.com/p/at-the-un-...
Updating a classic monologue for modern times. Original video is downthread.
"I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody's out of work or scared of losing their job. The dollar buys a nickel's worth, banks are running everything;
"You've gotta say, 'I'M A HUMAN BEING, GODDAMMIT! MY LIFE HAS VALUE!'"
"I want you to stand. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, stick your head out and yell,
"'I'm as MAD AS HELL, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'"

"Well, I'm not going to leave you alone. I want you to get MAD! I'm not going to tell you to protest, or riot, we all know how to do those things, for good or ill.
"I don't want you to write to your Congressman; I wouldn't know what to tell you to write and they probably won't listen anyway. I don't know what to do about the depression and the inflation and climate change and the thugs in the streets.
"All I know is that first, you've got to get MAD.

"We all know things are bad -- worse than bad, they're crazy.
"It's like everything everywhere is going crazy, so we don't go out any more. We sit in the house and slowly the world we're living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, "Please at least leave us alone in our living rooms.

I would like to see more men talking about how to and peer pressuring each other into calling out misogyny and rape culture. Going against social norms is hard, and it helps to share tips and support.
No, really, I could do with being less traumatically intelligent. People don’t get that my threat board never goes completely dark.
It is, in a word, exhausting. I’ve tried to find an off switch, but the only one I recognize doesn’t allow for coming back from flipping it.
And that one brief blissful period of relaxation was, like, a day or two at the in-laws’ house on a lake in MI and not having anything I needed to do other than finish the book I was reading.
I miss that day.
