My parents are world class, decorated Martial Artists. When I was born, they had a bunch of famous blackbelts and blackbelt friends sign a baby blanket for me. Chuck Norris is the only person who refused to sign it.
Anyway lol
Same exact insurance I’ve been on for 3 years (now $150 more expensive!!!) decided today to begin rejecting my testosterone prescription. Fuck Texas. Fuck capitalism. Fucking having old parents and being on your own health insurance 3 years before all of your peers!!!
Fuck Alamo Drafthouse
Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.
I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.
Frantically checking to see if June 7th falls on a weekday next year. Great news for all teachers out there (who aren’t parents or the Sunday school variety). You will hear about it, but you will not have to personally endure ‘6/7’ day
baseball is a very sacred sport to transgenders
About as well as one can be here at ground zero (Austin, Texas). And I celebrated yesterday as well, 5 years on Testosterone!
Happy birthday!!!
NEW: Barely a week after being repainted, the rainbow crosswalk in Montrose will be removed by Houston METRO, citing Greg Abbott and TXDOT's new directive. The crosswalk is a memorial to the LGBTQ+ community and to a fallen cyclist:

Really wish my partner and I weren’t at a work event tonight! Hope it’s a killer show 🤘
Lots of spots in Hyde Park also, Quacks, New World Deli, etc. not that I see my specific neighbors since I live on the east side.
Hey, you know how CBS News is getting turned into a right-wing propaganda hose? If this goes through, the same thing will happen to CNN. However bad you think CNN currently is, it'll get so much worse.
Invite only protest
I have a train playlist that includes (so far) only songs whose lyrics contain the word “train”.
Should I also add songs that obviously reference trains (ex: Gillian Welch Wayside)? The playlist is currently 147 songs and almost 10 hours long. Yes, I am neurodivergent.
Fuck
1. Alert, and please share widely. A lawyer at the ACLU has asked me to inform my transgender readers that they should NOT be applying for passports right now - the state department has not issued guidance to comply with the court order and they are urgently trying to get them to do so.

Yesterday, @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social wrote about how Los Doyers are abandoning their fan base amid ICE raids across Los Angeles. Today, they denied ICE entry into Dodgers Stadium.

today is a day to tell trans people you love them AND other things.
don’t tell us you love us and leave it at that.
get in the streets and protest. call your electeds. help trans people in your life access docs, legal help, medical care, make their rent.
do more, please.
I don’t remember the last time someone other than my nonbinary partner checked in with me in terms of how I’m handling all of the attacks on trans folks this year. I’m not saying I need that, but it’s disheartening because I know most trans people are probably experiencing the same thing.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.
fuck SCOTUS
NEW: The mother of an Arizona man who died after being unable to find mental health treatment is suing his health insurer, saying it broke the law by publishing false information that misled its customers.

Never been to Wheelers! But Antone’s and Parish are both great. Parish feels more intimate, but I’ve never had any weird/transphobic interactions with staff or patrons at either (which I can’t say for many venues in town honestly)
Residents of Texas' 18th congressional district will go almost an entire year without any representation in congress
