Yo

It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.

“Trump won, we remind you, by a mere 1.5 percentage points, and he failed to reach the 50% threshold in the popular vote – in other words, more people voted for Harris and the other candidates (50.2%) than Trump (49.8%). It is utterly breathtaking to imagine that Trump is trying to reinvent America based on a 1.5-percentage point win that hinged on high prices and a weak Democratic ticket in a stub campaign. It takes a titanic ego, unhinged from political reality, to believe he has a “mandate” to attempt such a sweeping inversion of our national identity. This is simply not what Americans voted for.”

BTRTN: Trump at 50 Days – America is Unhappy, and Increasingly So

I mean, we told the dumb fucks who voted for this criminal fascist that this would happen, and they mocked us. So.

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

"jesus was actually a radical Palestinian activist of colour" stop trying to sell Christianity by slapping a progressive coat of paint on it. it's still preaching even if you don't recognise that and think you're just trying to fight back against conservatives or whatever. I promise you ~global christendom~ would not be fucking redeemed if everyone just learned the *true* meaning of his message (but for real this time)

Call/email your Senators and Representatives. Even Especially if they're Republicans.

I'll believe that governments want to "empower disabled people to achieve employment" when they actually:

Legislate broader work-from-home abilities for jobs that don't actually require in-office presence

Strengthen employment discrimination laws so employers stop thinking that the easiest way to get around having to accommodate a disabled employee is just to fire them

Actually create systems where they, the government, monitor and enforce accessible environments and building codes. The onus shouldn't be on us to get the money to hire a lawyer and sue our own workplaces to get our basic access needs met.

Include disabled people in minimum wage legislation, instead of leaving legal carve-outs where "substandard workers" can be paid subminimum wage.

Allow disabled people to keep savings accounts of our own, which we don't need anybody else's approval to create or spend

Let us form supportive households, relationships, and marriages without taking away our benefits (especially because this means we have no money of our own if we want to leave those relationships)

Until then, nuh-uh. Fuck off. You're not "empowering" us. You're just pushing us further out onto a perilous ledge because you think you can use inspirational supercrip narratives to force us to perform or die.
