Jesus that wig is so bad

Just when I think I'm ready to cool down on Palia, they announce horses.

I want to put something in perspective for you all. I'm an American, born and raised. There are some states in this "free" country where I just can't go. If I do, I could be charged with a crime for the simple act of using the bathroom. Driving a car or, in some cases, being seen in public.

If Polari was a kind of Birdsong from 'Folkish' by Kym Deyn The landscape is gay because I am. The moor's crushed heather curves, the wide woke ocean with her singing tides will upset some of you, I'm sure. The pink mushroom with infinite sexes, the bees like tiny vibrators between the flowers. All the ways nature fucks and flows. The land reacts to me in it. Gales cradle me, storms slip wetly down my spine. Each footstep of mine is queer. My eyelash mites have only sucked lesbians – oh God! My little world revolves in a sexy way. Camp sunsets. A moth with flirtatious lashes: a queen with his wings out. There are things that aren't for you, whispered behind the bins, ugly as a fox's climax, sequinned as mackerel scales, butch as a moray's square jaw, undiminished by filth, enmeshed as lichen, natural as the trees wearing each wild season.

"Each footstep of mine is queer. My eyelash
mites have only sucked lesbians – oh God!"

and not unintentional - many cis folk need to cleanse any hint of queerness or transgression from their choices in order to feel comfortable. the current mainstream promotion of hormones for cis folk goes hand in hand with the removal of trans access to them

so to have those things taken and isolated for cis people to use instead of us as opposed to as well as us is particularly cruel

we've always advocated for change and access beyond our own needs - for bodily autonomy, names changes, hormones, identity construction, non-traditional family, transgression of gender norms - for everyone who might benefit from them

another thing which irks me about the Cis People Taking Hormones columns is trans folk have long said "maybe a lot of folk would be happier with a slightly different hormonal setup to what their body produces"

T is OK for cis women but not trans men.

Puberty blockers are OK for cis kids but illegal for trans kids.

You see it, right? You see what this is?

me, getting caught up on notes, going to the gym, and eating a salad: I have never had a mental illness in my life

oh shit

imo stop following therapists in general. mental health pros who are focused primarily on social media and building a following are adding to the problem.

*gets a Threads teaser ad for some post about the latest Therapy Jeff controversy*

People are still listening to that guy?

Honestly, it's pretty great just going and sitting and listening.

Families left reeling after hospitals in blue states drop transgender care for youth Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care.

Right now where you live healthcare for trans kids is either being made literally illegal by your state or made functionally illegal by the unlawful threats of the federal government and a care infrastructure glad to sacrifice trans kids on the altar of appeasement.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

when isaac writes, with a nuance and respect I rarely ever see others write with when it comes to the transmasculine experience, i feel both hope and less alone

pretty sure the guy working the Jimmy John's window is high af, but tbh that's exactly who I want making my post-gym sandwich

American Cultural Revolution needs to dismantle the Greek system completely

Personally i think that the consistent pattern of only mentioning trans men when it’s to refer to their existence as creating distress in other people is not in fact a sign of support for trans men. It‘s boogie man rhetoric from a man who wants full control over our bodies.

Not sure why everyone thinks this is respectful. He goes on to say that a trans man’s existence would be distressing to women. And this is all in conversation about putting them into a third space. Not the men’s. A secret third thing. He also has said the same for trans women.

One of Bluesky’s problems (carried over from old Twitter) is that almost everyone here thinks they’re in the grad seminar when they haven’t actually taken the intro course

A Reddit post referred to AllBirds as "the quarter-zip of footwear" and I am WHEEZING.

Owed substantially less in taxes than what I saved, so even with paying off the balance after my quarterly payments, I've got a good chunk of savings left.
